Reduce transportation costs by 44 percent or AED 900 million, saving AED 1.5 billion through reduction of environmental pollution, and AED 18 billion through raising efficiency of the transport sector by 20 percent.

The Dubai World Challenge for self-driving transport will be the largest international tender for companies and research and development centres to implement scenarios and applications of this technology on Dubai roads.

A Vision for the Future of Transport

- His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai

By 2030, 25 percent of all transportation TRIPS in Dubai will be smart and

driverless. The strategy is projected to generate economic revenues and savings

of up to AED 22 billion a year.“

AUTOMATED VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY READINESS FOR TRANSIT APPLICATIONS

9

Level 2 Vehicle (today)

• Sense lane markings on known roads (roads in GPS database)

• Signal driver “OK to autodrive”

• Driver accepts autodrive• Drive in same lane at

driver’s requested speed and car-following distance

• Some have lane changing as instructed by driver with turn signal (no auto-passing)

10

Level 3 Vehicle (soon)

• Possibly some understanding of traffic signals and signs and ability to make left turns

• Warn driver 20-30s in advance of end of AV-compatible route

• Remind driver to put hands on wheel periodically, if not some slow to stop (pull over to shoulder)

11

Level 4 Vehicle

• Drive “AV compatible” roads in known routes

• No driver• Possibly some

understanding of traffic signals and signs and negotiation of intersections

• Obstacle in path causes vehicle to stop

• No interaction with pedestrians, cyclists, or other drivers via body-language / eye-contact

• Remote control via human supervisor for unusual circumstances

Action Plan

High-Priority Applications

Enabling Actions Connected Vehicle Communications Cloud

InstitutionalFramework

(roles and responsibilities)

19

• Complement automated vehicle operations, primarily transit

• Mitigate weather conditions (e.g., sandstorms)

• Improve safety in work zones• Contribute significantly to increasing

citizen happiness and safety

The focus will be on applications that

20

• Roadside Equipment (RSEs)

• On-board Equipment (OBEs)

• Communications protocols and bandwidth

• Security

• Applications– Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) broadcast– Work zone details– Weather conditions– Incident and crash details

• Back-end software and hardware systems
