Overview

The focus of this research is on what is technically required for the deployment of automated and connected vehicles in New Zealand. This includes, but is not limited to, an investigation of the requirements for and current state of:

• Digital mapping of New Zealand’s land transport network, including road characteristics, speed limits, etc

• New Zealand’s roads and roadside infrastructure as relevant to automated vehicles, including lane markings, traffic signal broadcasting, interface with existing intelligent transport systems, etc

• GNSS coverage and reliability, including the need for augmentation (note the link to actions 19 and 20 in the Intelligent Transport Systems Action Plan 2014-18 – see below)

• New Zealand direct short range communication (DSRC) and cellular network communication systems and issues, including range, security, etc.



The research output is intended to provide a detailed assessment of New Zealand’s overall technical readiness for level three and four automated and connected vehicles. This should include the identification of any technical problems and issues, but should not go into recommendations – though possible technical solutions should be noted where these are identified in the course of the research.
