Impact of pavement friction decay on speed limits and autonomous vehicles: A theoretical and experimental study by Filippo Giammaria Praticò

“…Results demonstrate that: (1) a power law describes how the speed limits are affected by friction; (2) for speeds up to 170 ​km/h, due to the lower reaction time, AV reaction distance is lower, which benefits AV traffic (lower stopping distance); (3) on the contrary, for higher values of friction and higher speeds, under the hypothesis of having the same reaction time law for non-AV (NAV) (i.e., decreasing with the initial speed), AV speed limits become lower than NAV speed limits; (4) not only do comfort-based speed profiles for AVs bring higher braking distances, but also, in the median part (of the deceleration process), this could pose safety issues and reduce the distance between the available and the needed friction.…”
