U.S. Department Of Transportation Releases Policy On Automated Vehicle Development

Automated and connected car applied sciences have gotten a number of the most heavily researched automotive applied sciences. This presentation will evaluation current security concerns and methods in at present’s safety-crucial automotive methods, current additional security considerations with respect to security-vital autonomous techniques, describe the relationships between cybersecurity and safety, and suggest a way to preserve consistency and completeness between safety and cybersecurity all through the event lifecycle by establishing consistent and parallel improvement processes between the two areas.

Automation may affect road car energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a host of the way, positive and damaging, by causing adjustments in journey demand, vehicle design, automobile operating profiles, and selections of fuels.

Recent work by Brown et al. (2014) quantified many potential results of automation on energy consumption, looking for to estimate higher-certain effects.” They considered platooning, eco-driving, efficient routing, and lighter automobiles as potential sources of diminished gasoline consumption per kilometer, and sooner journey speeds as a supply of elevated gas consumption.

Finally, they notice that automation could have an effect on journey demand, as a shift to a shared vehicle system may reduce car ownership and travel demand, while a number of different elements (reduced energy cost per kilometer, elevated urban sprawl, the growth of automated taxi companies, and decreased use of public transportation) would have a tendency to increase travel demand.

This technology could appear new, but the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in a joint research effort with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has already started setting V2V and V2I communication requirements, such as using a 5 GHZ frequency for transmission.
