Develop Roadway and Parking Design Criteria to Accommodate Automated and Autonomous Vehicles
项目名称: Develop Roadway and Parking Design Criteria to Accommodate Automated and Autonomous Vehicles
摘要: The use of autonomous vehicles in the U.S. is approaching, and Texas should be a leader in infrastructure to accommodate autonomous vehicles.This includes pick-up/drop-off lanes, changes in parking infrastructure, and changes in roadway design that will be cost-efficient and accommodate vehicles that will drive themselves safely. TxDOT should conduct research into the best practices for accommodating AVs in the scenario of a mix of AVs and traditional vehicles on the roadway until the state of full automation in all vehicles. UTSA will research and propose updates to Texas roadway design standards, given the emerging landscape of autonomous vehicles. The team will research and model changes in standards of lane widths, parking requirements (including new types of parking infrastructure), lane designations, and other roadway design elements to determine the most efficient outcomes.
