smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles
DESCRIPTION
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how autonomous vehicles are becoming economic feasible. They are becoming economically feasible because the cost of lasers, ICs, MEMS, and other electronic components are falling at 25 to 40% per year. If the cost of autonomous vehicles fall 25% a year, the cost of the electronics associated with autonomous vehicles will fall 90% in 10 years. Dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles is necessary to achieve the most benefits from autonomous vehicles. While using autonomous vehicles in combination with conventional vehicles can free drivers for other activities, dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles can dramatically reduce congestion, increase speeds, and thus increase the number of cars per area of the road. They can also reduce accidents, insurance, and the number of traffic police. These slide discuss the use of wireless technologies for the control and coordination of autonomous vehicles. Improvements in bandwidth, speed, and latency (delays) along with improvements in computer processing are occurring and these improvements are making dedicated roads for autonomous vehicles economically feasible.TRANSCRIPT

Path to Technology Convergence (AVs + Roads)
•Can we achieve a safe, self-driving vehicle on the dedicated roads/ infrastructure?
• Yes. Google and other automakers had done it before… but on the Vehicle Technology only..
• What’s missing?
• The convergence of technologies (Combined Infrastructure)

Autonomous Vehicles are conceived to adapt to current road
![Page 10: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
but we can also imagine specific highways entirely dedicated to these vehicles
![Page 11: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are the features needed?
![Page 12: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We need then:
1. Adapted to higher speed limit (less curves..)
2. Less need of parking slots (cars can just drop off users)
3. Reduction of physical road signage, replace it by
wireless communication

4. Centralized motion planning that communicate
with all the sensors and all the vehicles
5. Decentralized solution

Autonomy Solution
● Every single car does its own trajectory calculation in
function of the cars surrounding it.
● Roads transmit them the entire informations regarding
the road map.
![Page 16: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Autonomy Solution
The roads only need communication to system: Car/Road
● Continuous communication
● Cover all the road
● Fast enough (<1s)
![Page 17: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Communication system Car/Road

● Cellular data services: good latency (5ms)
● Mobile Satellite Communication: bad latency (650ms)
![Page 18: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Expected rate of improvement
10% improvement each year
![Page 19: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sensor Limitation
To improve safety we need to accumulate the number of
sensors wich increase cost and vulnerabilities because of the
complexity
Cooperation systems can be a solution
![Page 20: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Autonomous solution: easier to propose but...
...Cooperation system advantages are interesting:
● Lower prices (less sensors)
● Current and planned actions (better flows)
● Identification of hazards
● Earlier and safer responses possible

What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
The goal of Vinci wouldn’t be to manufacture autonomous vehicles, but to coordinate all vehicles on the roads.
![Page 33: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
It is very difficult and expensive to construct new roads. It is much easier to adapt
current roads to autonomous vehicle:
The first step is to connect every car to the network
➔ Cellular data services on roads, free connection of every car to the
network
➔ Differential GPS for every car
![Page 34: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
The second step is to analyse all these datas
➔ Data center : collect data from every car and centralize it
➔ Big data algorithms to take the best decision in real time for every car
![Page 35: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
The third step is to send all the individual answers to every car
➔ Cellular data services on roads, free connection of every car to the
network
➔ The car doesn’t only “see” what is around, but sees what is 100km
forehead too.
![Page 36: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
Other costs for Vinci :
➔ Need higher surfacing quality (for higher speed)
➔ Need less curves and less differences in high
➔ Need infrastructure to secure the network (pirating risk must
be 0)
![Page 37: Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558c6febd8b42aa76a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What could Vinci do to construct autonomous roads?
Earnings for Vinci
➔ More cars/second on roads
➔ Less accidents
➔ Dominant design

Enterpreneurial Opportunities for Smart
Infrastructure

manufacturers who automatically join the fray when Autonomous
Vehicles become the future, we shall discuss how the businesses
which contribute to the dedicated/ smart roads for the AVs stand to
gain in this process.
