OVERVIEW
Setting the contextKey considerations
about AVPhysical infrastructureDigital infrastructureRoad OperationsNext Steps
3
SETTING THE CONTEXT
Australia's population is projected to double to 46 million by 2075 [ABS]
66% of Australians lived in cities in 2013 and this will increase to 72% in 2053 [ABS]
“World class congestion” Sydney 7th worst congestion in western world and on the rise (Tom Tom 2013)
Drive for sustainability – reflected in use of alternative fuels and changes in transport behaviors.

SETTING THE CONTEXT
Disruptive technology is an opportunity !!

SETTING CONTEXT – PREDICTING THE FUTURE
Making accurate predictions is difficult..
In terms of technology, cars and trucks of today are where most mobile phones were before the iPhone.
AUSTROADS PROJECT BRIEF
Review emerging AV requirements Provide guidance to facilitate an effective and
consistent approach to designing, maintaining and operating road networks for AV deployment

Other key projects:Regulation and Licencing (Austroads - ARRB)Safety Benefits (Austroads – MUARC)NTC review of legislative issues State road and transport agencies

KEY CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AV
Implications for mode share and VKT (Lauren)Consider AV needs as another road user
Eyes and ears?
10
KEY CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AV
Sensing the immediate environment

KEY CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AV
Intros & Implications for mode share and VKT (Lauren)Consider AV needs as another road user
Sensing the immediate environment Positioning (see later - SLAM) Biomimicry and ability to “think” and adapt Consider of user group
- where is the vehicle operating ? - what interactions does that involve?
12
KEY CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AV
Frameworks to consider Level of vehicle automation (SAE) Complexity of environment / interaction Fit with NOP and Link (movement) and Place “Certification”
13
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE – AV NEEDS
Guidance and practices differ within a state…
Consistency / layout & signs, lines etcReadabilityAsset Management and Maintenance
Signs (S/L and VMS)
Lines
Pavements
Structures
Barriers

We need to consider use cases: Impacts? Mitigation measures?

DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE – AV NEEDS
Vehicle Location (SLAM)

KEY CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT AV
Vehicle location (SLAM) [Bosch]

DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE – AV NEEDS
Vehicle Location (SLAM)Cellular coverage (more than AV!)Data Management Road Operator OEM / Service Provider: Some data is of great interest (road works) Robust, timely

OEM / Service Provider Road Operator: Privacy and device surveillance

ROAD OPERATIONS
Need for consistency again paramount NOP / Link and Place – Strategic consideration Route / Link conider “Certification” need Range of guidelines and treatments for road works eg
yellow line marking Consider whole of road reservation (pickup / drop off)

Need for consistency again paramount NOP / Link and Place “Certification” Range of guidelines and treatments for road works eg
yellow line marking Consider whole of road reservation (pickup / drop off)
More efficient use of networkOptimising use of physical infrastructure (bridges and
pavements)
…. there is also opportunity ….

FINAL THOUGHTS (BEYOND THIS PROJECT)
Disruption crosscut requires very different knowledge, skills and collaboration to respond. AITPM has a role
Need for better communication across industry. Frameworks or “models” assist
Standards and policy development moves slowlyCommunity is keyLegislative response is vital Pricing.. Soft transport Paper: Wigan, Gaffney, Benjamin
