• Abstract:
  Work zone fatalities have increased 61 percent since 2013. CDA can help decrease these fatalities and support safer automated vehicle (AV) operations with infrastructure-communicating work zone configurations and with restrictions to AVs before they reach the work zone. These strategies increase the AVs' situational awareness and plan their motion. Due to the implementation of temporary traffic controls, work zones pose a challenge for automated driving systems to navigate, as some of these systems may be using previously created maps of roads for their driving environment. Work zones often change lane configurations, disrupt lane markings, and obscure other vehicles and pedestrians, which can challenge AV perception and navigation systems.
