Simulating how will we share spaces with autonomous vehicles
In the future autonomous vehicles will have to interact with their surroundings in a separate way than manually driven vehicles. By using the digital twin, we can explore the interaction between Humans (avatars), Machines (vehicles) and Infrastructure.
The pilot CoExist2 has explored this challenge in a so-called shared space in central Gothenburg. The pilot also acts as a tool for discussion both within the public and private sector. Findings were continuously discussed with the design of the testbed and other pilots. We must learn how to design an infrastructure that supports a safe and sustainable introduction of autonomous vehicles.
