Prepping Cities for
Vehicle Autonomy

Deployment of new V2I technology and upgrades to existing
roadway infrastructure can assist AVs and improve safety for
all road users.
Although automated vehicles (AVs) use existing
streets, highways, traffic lights and signage for guidance,
they interact with roadway infrastructure much differently
than human drivers. Because AVs are driven by
machines instead of people, they have the advantage of
communicating with other machines that are already
in place and are starting to be deployed as part of smart
infrastructure. Ranging from traffic cameras to sensors,
collaborative infrastructure can help AVs navigate a tricky
intersection or even detect and prepare for a potentially
dangerous situation ahead, such as a pedestrian walking
into traffic or a vehicle speeding through a red light.
Most AVs don't have to rely on machine-to-machine
communication, also known as vehicle-to-infrastructure
communication (V2I), but the technology
not only aids AVs but improves safety for all roadway
users. " It would be wonderful to have infrastructure
available to enable automated driving, " said Kay
Stepper, senior VP of driver assistance and automated
driving for Bosch. " But at this point, it's augmentation.
Once we have infrastructure, we'll embrace it with
open arms, " Stepper continued. " We want stationary
objects and moving objects to communicate. But at
this point, we don't have the penetration in the field. "
Using existing traffic cameras
But the situation is quickly changing. In many instances,
the hardware is already in place, including thousands

of traffic cameras. " Cameras have been used for traffic
management for decades, " added Frank Sgambati, a
director of business development at Bosch, who specializes
in smart city solutions. " For years, people have been
waking up and checking traffic cameras to see how their
morning commute will be, " he adds.
" Now we're using video as a sensor to classify
vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists at intersections, "
Sgambati said. " Bosch cameras can now provide
metadata and analytics in addition to images and we're
