About drive-road collaboration
In the context of road traffic environment, what truly needs to be coordinated is enabling drivers of vehicles (whether human or automated) to detect or discern road conditions from a longer distance under all weather conditions. This can be defined as "road-driving coordination." Constructing roads that are more user-friendly and possess enhanced intelligent perception capabilities facilitates effortless driving experiences. The array of technologies such as communication, connectivity, sensing, data, and positioning developed by humans actually heralds a revolution of "predictive realization," transforming many unknown moments into knowable ones. All traffic accidents occurring on roads stem from our lack of knowledge about the next moment or location, leading to suggestions from traffic designers for roads to be as straight and transparent as possible.
Textual graphics that preemptively warn of impending changes ahead signify limited, static representations of imminent but unknown risks. The danger, if it truly materializes, often catches us entirely unaware. Empowering textual graphics associated with roads with intelligence, connectivity, and digitization ensures that whenever the "wolf" (dangerous or challenging situation) appears, there is real-time feedback, notification, dispatch, and control.
