Note: This NOI (originally published on October 17, 2023) was reissued by the responsible SDO on July 9, 2024. 

 

Note: As requested by the responsible SDO, this NOI being reissued as the standard was in the initial stages of development for more than 12 months. An additional comment period of October 17 to November 7, 2023 (originally published on September 28, 2021).

 

The Road Signs for Connected & Automated Vehicles (CAV) standard includes requirements for CAVs operating or intended to operate in both on-road and off-road environments.  The Road Signs standard is applicable in the physical infrastructure category. The physical infrastructure for road transportation serves the tangible needs of road traffic by providing roadways, bridges, tunnels, and junctions that facilitate safe and efficient travel using motorized vehicles of various weights and sizes. The standard is intended to primarily address issues related to public safety.

Examples of signs to be covered under this standard include, but are not limited to, standardize minimum technical requirements of sensors to reach road signs effectively, road signs for speed zone ahead or ending of a certain speed limit, and sign placement and maintenance.

Project need:

To support innovation and deployment in the field of connected and automated vehicles by providing infrastructure guidance for the installation and safe operations of CAVs and corresponding infrastructure in the North American context. This proposed standard is being developed at the request of industry and manufacturers. It will provide the industry with the technical requirements and standards of safe operation of CAVs.
