The ERTRAC Roadmap Automated Drivingis the basis for future research needs.Brussels, 06 March 2018

12/03/20181

Automated Driving will shape our future Mobility.• Safety

reduce accidents caused by human errors.

• Efficiency and Environmentincrease transport system efficiency and reduce time in congested traffic. Also, smoothertraffic will help to decrease the energy consumption and emissions of vehicles.

• Comfortenable user’s freedom for other activities when automated systems are active.

• Social Inclusionensure mobility for all, including elderly and impaired users.

• Accessibilityfacilitate access to city centres.

ERTRAC Vision 2050:Vehicles should be electrified, automated and shared.

We need common definitions.

ERTRAC acknowledges the SAE J3016 defining the Levels of Automation.

• Building on establishedwarning, support andADAS systems.

• Progressive step-wiseincrease of automationlevel during the upcomingdecade (L2-L4).

• Fully automated vehicles(L5) is for futuredeployment - but researchneeds to start.

The Roadmap develops evolutionary.

5 12/03/2018

• Fully automatedpassenger cars: it´s thetime to initiate research.

• First Highway Autopilotthen for Urban roads.

• Chauffeur applications(<130kmh); e.g. TrafficJam and later Highway.

• Traffic jam assist andParking assist alreadythere.

Passenger cars automation paves the way tonew urban mobility.

6 12/03/2018

• Fully automated mobilityvehicles; time to initiateresearch

• Highly automated freightvehicles; from confinedareas and dedicatedroads then on openroads

• Truck Platooning; e.g.Multi-brand platooninglinking C-ITS andAutomation

Freight vehicle automation focus on platooningand confined areas.

7 12/03/2018

• Fully automated mobilityvehicles; research initiated

• Highly automated urbanmobility vehicles; first ondedicated roads then inmixed traffic

• Automated urban buschauffeur; e.g. trafficqueue driving

• Assist functionality forcity-buses; e.g. Bus-stopmaneuvering

Automation will change urban life.

Vehicles

• In-vehicle technology enablers

– Variety of vehicle concepts and use cases: Master complexityand cost – built upon modularity, scalability, standardization andmaintenance.

• Production and industrialization– Cope transformation into software driven industry and handle

complex functional growth.– Deploy validation, release and quality assurance tests.– Consider impact on after-market industry.

Systems and Services

• Human factors– Configure interaction between humans and automated vehicles (in-

vehicle and outside vehicle) at different levels of automation.• Connectivity

– Specify and ensure AD needs for connectivity Resilient androbust communication in all environments.

• New mobility services, shared economy and business models– Consider private, commercial and public users of automated

vehicles.• Big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and their applications

– Provide big data analytics and AI automated driving functions andapplications as enabler for automated driving.

• Digital and physical infrastructure– Specify and ensure AD needs for infrastructure.
