Currently<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0self-driving car<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are steered\u00a0<\/span>using GPS, cameras<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and laser systems. All these systems\u00a0<\/span>enable<\/span>\u00a0self-<\/span><\/b>driving<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>some extent<\/span>, depending on\u00a0<\/span>environmental\u00a0<\/span>conditions, which can be improved\u00a0<\/span>by adding\u00a0<\/span>complementary systems capable of operating independent<\/span>ly<\/span>\u00a0of lighting and weather by adding effective\u00a0<\/span>communication with infrastructure<\/span><\/b>, which can be decisive\u00a0<\/span>in definitive\u00a0<\/span>development of\u00a0<\/span>this type of\u00a0<\/span>driving.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The boom in s<\/span>elf-driving car<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0requires\u00a0<\/span>thorough<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>safety systems\u00a0<\/span><\/b>that guarantee reliability, so communication with infrastructure is essential,\u00a0<\/span>as exemplified with\u00a0<\/span>smart<\/span>\u00a0pavement,\u00a0<\/span>which can\u00a0<\/span>provide\u00a0<\/span>a vehicle\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>relative positioning with respect to\u00a0<\/span>edges\u00a0<\/span>its traffic lane. The smart pavement devised by Ferrovial works as if it were the virtual rail of a wireless<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>“<\/span>Scalextric.<\/span>”\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>his solution<\/span>\u00a0involves\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>self-driving\u00a0<\/span>vehicle\u00a0<\/span>constantly\u00a0<\/span>collect<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0information that will allow it to know where it is\u00a0<\/span>within\u00a0<\/span>the track and\u00a0<\/span>provide\u00a0<\/span>the necessary information to the autonomous driving system to\u00a0<\/span>in order to\u00a0<\/span>correct the\u00a0<\/span>vehicle\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>trajectory if\u00a0<\/span>any\u00a0<\/span>deviation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>occurs<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Th<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0research is the result of several years of work\u00a0<\/span>involving\u00a0<\/span>extensive\u00a0<\/span>tech\u00a0<\/span>analysis, testing in\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0pavement\u00a0<\/span>lab<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>o<\/span>n\u00a0<\/span>a closed course,\u00a0<\/span>and recently,\u00a0<\/span>real\u00a0<\/span>tests\u00a0<\/span>on an operational\u00a0<\/span>stretch of highway.
