Connectivity Unleashes the Potential of Automation

The path toward connected vehicles will ultimately lead to automated vehicles.

Full automation has the potential to revolutionize the transportationsystem but requires careful study and exacting levels of performance

Partial automation will likely provide significant transportationsystem benefits

Degrees of Automation

U.S. Department of Transportation

Each Automation Level Offers Some Benefits

Level

Driver Roles

Example Systems

Must drive otherfunctions and monitordriving environment

Adaptive Cruise Control OR

Lane Keeping Assistance

Must monitor drivingenvironment (systemnags driver to try toensure it)

Adaptive Cruise Control AND Lane KeepingAssistance

Traffic Jam Assist

May read a book, text, orweb surf, but be preparedto intervene when needed

Traffic Jam Pilot

Automated parking

May sleep, and systemcan revert to minimumrisk condition if needed

Highway driving pilot

Closed campus driverless shuttle

Valet parking in garage

No driver needed

Automated taxi

Car-share repositioning system

Improves accuracy and speed of decision-making, thereby facilitating proactivemanagement

Enables determination ofcausality of transportationproblems, such ascrashes, bottlenecks,delays, etc.

Provides comprehensiveand accurate view oftransportation systems

A digital “nervous” system for the things that comprise our surroundings

Pervasive sensors and actuators on fixed and mobile devices

Data made widely accessible via networks

Transportation the “Internet of Things” andConnected Cities

•* by 2020 there will be 50 to 100 billion ’things’ connected to the Internet…
