摘要

Automated driving features from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to higher levels of automation are shown to have a potential to increase traffic safety. The ability to drive safely is contingent on the automated systems understanding the road infrastructure. However, the road infrastructure has been designed over the course of a century to be optimal for human drivers. Considering the differences between human drivers and sensor-based driver assistance, it is important to ask to what extent is the road infrastructure suitable for automated driving features. Additionally, if there is already a proven safety effect, it is suggested that adapting the road infrastructure to ensure sensor detection will further increase this safety effect. Research into this domain is limited but growing. This paper explores how fundamental changes to the road infrastructure can leverage the sensor capabilities of vehicles of all levels of automation, thus giving an incremental approach to adapting road infrastructure to support Automated Driving Systems (ADS) at all levels of automation.
