Abstract
Traffic infrastructures are one of the central elements of today’s mobility. They are crucial for road traffic and offer road users space and orientation for mobility to move within public space. Road infrastructure is currently designed for non-autonomous vehicles. To be able to support new technologies and services related to autonomous driving, adaptation and enhancement of the capability of current traffic infrastructures is necessary. An innovative solution is the digitization and virtualization of conventional traffic infrastructures. In this paper, the possibilities of digitization and virtualization of current traffic infrastructure elements are presented and discussed in the form of an implementation concept. The paper illustrates the most significative use cases, where digitization and virtualization may lead to the improvements in the efficiency of traffic flow and management. Part of this contribution is also an analysis and evaluation of the technical feasibility of single-use cases for digitizing and virtualizing traffic infrastructures.
