Background

Customer needs :

● Obey State Traffic Laws● Help avoid human error● Assist with long drives

Levels of Autonomous Vehicles (AV)

Level 0: Functionality is completely controlled by the human driver

Level 1: Automation of 1 function (e.g cruise control)

Level 2: Simultaneous automation of more than 1 function (e.g., navigation anddeceleration); however, the human driver must remain engaged

Level 3: Functionality of the vehicle is satisfactorily automated to afford engagementof other activities by the driver.

Level 4: Complete automation, that is, there is no need for a human driver

Current State of the Art

Currently, many new vehicles have some level 1 & level 2 automation features such as:

1. Level 1a. Cruise Controlb. Obstruction warningc. Parallel parking

2. Level 2

● Automated lane guidance● Driver fatigue detection

Current State of the Art (cont.)

1. Level 3● Human emergency fail-safe

2. Level 4

● Full automation/No Driver needed

Alternative Option 1: Railroad City

Personal train cars on tracks running throughout the city

Reserved by each individual beforehand to transport them throughout the day

Central computer with timed entries for travel communicating to each train

Railroad City

Pros/Cons Option 1: Railroad City

Pros: Cons:

● System safely navigates all passengers throughout daily commute

● Complete termination of road accidents

● Finite number of train cars● Price of computers, motors

transmitters and receivers● Inconvenient travel times during

high traffic hours

Alternative Option 2: Line following RC Car
