Integration of the active mobility into the digitalised traffic system
Description
Based on existing research work, in particular from the FEDRO research package ‘Effects of automated driving’, as well as interviews with experts, scenarios for technological development are outlined. The focus is on digitalisation (in particular the automation of road vehicles and their networking with other vehicles and other road users as well as with the infrastructure).
Based on these scenarios, variants of the design of the interaction between active mobility users and motorised vehicles at different levels of automation as well as the environment, including infrastructure, are designed. The variants address aspects such as the situations and locations (road design, traffic regime) where such interactions will take place, or the heterogeneity of active mobility.
The variants are discussed along the following themes:
- Necessary technical requirements and framework conditions.
- Effects on the functionality of the transport system
- Safety and redundancy of the systems
- Assessment of user acceptance / attractiveness for active mobility users
- Legal aspects
Finally, an assessment is made as to whether the variants are applicable in view of the existing infrastructure and other framework conditions in Switzerland or whether and which adjustments are necessary.
When designing the variants, attention is paid to compatibility with international measures.
