Abstract:
In this paper we describe the Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) framework, the case-studies and the connected autonomous vehicles to be deployed in the AUTOCITS pilot in Portugal. AUTOCITS project - which stands for Regulation Study for Interoperability in the Adoption of Autonomous Driving in European Urban Nodes, has the main goal of contributing to the deployment of C-ITS in Europe, namely in Spain, France and Portugal, by carrying out pilots using connected and autonomous vehicles and by contributing to the regulations/legal framework on autonomous driving. The Lisbon Pilot will be conducted in a motorway (A-9) and in an urban node (in Lisbon city), where autonomous vehicles (AVs) and instrumented vehicles, all equipped with C-ITS instruments, will be evaluated according to three scenarios: dedicated lanes, shared lane and road without restrictions. In the first scenario, traffic control vehicles will also be present during the tests. In this paper we focus on the
Lisbon Pilot: the main technical challenges for infrastructure, test cases and scenarios, and the perspectives on the Portuguese legislation.
