The Automotive Safety Council (ASC) and the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) won the Collaborative Partnership of the Year Award that recognizes two or more companies have undertaken a meaningful, non-commercial partnership with the objective of advancing the development and/or adoption of automotive technology between January 1, 2019 and February 19, 2020.
The Automotive Safety Council and the ATSSA trade associations collaborated to amend the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section on pavement markings for all 50 states. Machine vision equipped vehicles will be able to see the road direction from further away allowing directional certainty sooner and be able to follow intended roadway paths with better accuracy. The proposed changes will provide consistency in pavement markings from state to state that currently do not exist. Additionally, these new standardized markings will allow more roadways to be read successfully and more road miles used by ADAS equipped vehicles and future AV’s with a posted speed ≥55 mph.
