Abstract

In order to grasp the influence of the running of autonomous vehicles on road, we conducted an experiment reproducing a situation of autonomous vehicles and general transportation vehicles sharing roundabout and straight section of the Tomakomai Test Track, and gathered basic data concerning the running performance and a subjective evaluation. Ten regular drivers took part as subjects in this experiment and enabled the obtaining of results indicating that constant safety was secured for the running of an autonomous vehicle at the roundabout and straight section. In addition, road structure and management considering the road hierarchy and self-driving system level were examined. According to the road hierarchy, the adoption of roundabout as a connection method was also proposed.
