GOVERNANCE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY IN AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE ENVIRONMENT Path to a driverless future

28 June 2017

AGENDA

2

• Autonomous Vehicles and (possible) impact on road users
• Preparing for Automation : suggested actions to support governance
• Experiences in governance: regulating Motorsport by working with the

industry

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: WHICH VEHICLES CONSUMERS DEMAND?

3

• Safer Cars
• Affordable Cars
• Accessible Cars

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: WHICH MOBILITY FOR THE FUTURE?

4

Heaven vs Hell scenario

• More single occupant – zero occupant cars (zombi

car) ?

• Longer trips / time spent in the vehicles
• Bigger vehicles?
• Increased traffic congestion?
• Increased accidents in the ‘transition time’?

THE WAY FORWARD:

• 1. LEARN FROM THE TESTS

5

How much validation is enough? What are acceptable risk levels? Who will validate the systems? Investigate behavioural aspects, specifically:

• requirements for the driver-vehicle interface
• expectation of drivers of conventional vehicles with respect to autonomous

vehicles

• factors leading to driver acceptance
• training requirements needed for progressive levels of automation

THE WAY FORWARD:

• 2. BUILDING CONSUMERS TRUST

6

• Drivers should be well informed on

the systems’ abilities, their limits and constraints

• Users need to always understand

what is expected from them

• Minimise critical attention decrease

THE WAY FORWARD:

• 3. ENCOURAGE COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT

7

• Encourage the development of ancillary technologies that can

support AV adoption, with a strong focus on safety

THE WAY FORWARD:

• 4. PRIORITISE ROAD MAINTANANCE PROGRAMME

8

• Basic road markings are essential elements for the function of

automation;

• The iRap assessment programme;
