ATIS03-Autonomous Route Guidance (Market Package*)

Market Package Graphic       Transaction Set Diagram

Description

This market package relies on in-vehicle sensory, location determination, computational, map database, and interactive driver interface equipment to enable route planning and detailed route guidance based on static, stored information. No communication with the infrastructure is assumed or required. Identical capabilities are available to the traveler outside the vehicle by integrating a similar suite of equipment into portable devices.

Early Deployment

This market package has been identified as an early deployment due to a promising combination of low risk implementation characteristics, developing public or private markets for the package, and tangible system or user benefits. Basic autonomous implementations are enjoying preliminary market success, at least in niche markets such as rental fleets. These deployments are not predicated on further technology, institutional policy, or standards development. The in-vehicle equipment provides core position location and routing functions that may be applied to a host of more advanced packages.

Rural Development

For the Crash Prevention and Security Rural Development Track, this market package is highly applicable to rural user needs and suitable for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that provide route guidance based warnings to drivers (using static, stored information) about roadway hazards such as geometry. Can reduce driver uncertainty as an accident risk. Can be used to find alternate routes if a congested area is encountered and thereby reduce secondary accidents.

For the Rural Transit and Mobility Rural Development Track, this market package is highly applicable to rural user needs and suitable for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that provide en-route directions to transit drivers (based on static, stored information) that can be used to find rural locations or determine alternate routes.

For the Traffic Management Rural Development Track, this market package is applicable to a significant number of rural user needs, may require some augmentation for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that provide en-route directions to drivers (based on static, stored information) that can be used to find alternate routes if a congested area is encountered.

For the Tourism and Travel Rural Development Track, this market package is highly applicable to rural user needs and suitable for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Systems that provide route guidance (based on static, stored information) to tourists that may be unfamiliar with the area. Travelers can obtain information through equipment located in their vehicles or through portable devices.

For the Emergency Services Rural Development Track, this market package is highly applicable to rural user needs and suitable for the rural environment. It addresses the needs of the broad rural development track by the following: Provides en-route navigation services information to emergency vehicle drivers (based on static, stored information in the vehicle). Functionality to determine vehicle position must exist within the vehicle.
