16. Abstract
This research investigates the challenges of establishing an automated driving system (ADS)-ready traffic laws and the regulations database, as well as proposed access and exchange requirements to support sharing and consumption of the information within the ADS ecosystem. It also describes basic requirements for collaboration among State and local traffic code stakeholders, as well as ADS behavior subject matter experts. This report looks at currently available data that support automated vehicle integration into our roadway system, and investigates the issue of inconsistencies in basic traffic laws across the nation and how they affect ADS behavior. This concept of use describes the background, stakeholder needs, design concepts, use cases, and other considerations for the design and development of an ADS regulations data framework. |
