Project Description
While there are many claims of the benefits from autonomous vehicles, few of these are based on sound research evidence. It has also been argued that there may be negative safety implications relating to the interactions vehicle between new technologies and non-autonomous road users (e.g., vulnerable road users, and the non-autonomous fleet). This PhD will investigate the safety effects and regulatory challenges of the different levels of automation and assess the necessary steps that system operators will need to undertake to safely introduce these vehicle technologies.
