Notice Information

Notice Title

T0463 Impact of Autonomous Vehicles on standards and specifications

Notice Description

This project will enable National Highways to understand what features of the road network are included in Operational Design Domains set by A & S-D V manufacturers and OEMs and whether this impacts any of our standards and specifications - including maintenance standards. For example, if road linings are planed out but may still be faintly visible in bright conditions, would this cause an issue for A & S-D Vehicles? This will give us a greater understanding as to how varying Automated and Self-Driving Vehicles will interact with our road environment. If required, a program of works to update our standards and specifications for us to enable the optimum performance of A & S-D V (and therefore providing the safest environment for A & S-D Vs to operate in) will be developed.
