SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
1. Abstract
This research has focused on situational awareness in autonomous vehicle. Both external and
internal environment situations in the autonomous vehicles have been discussed. Issues in the
autonomous vehicles have been discussed in the research. The aim of the research has been
focused on analyzing data fusion and external situational awareness in autonomous vehicles. The
research will use a mixed approach including qualitative and quantitative approach. Mixed
approach helps in gathering data from both primary and secondary method of data collection.
Data will be collected using both primary and secondary method of data collection. Data will be
analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative data analysis method. Data will be secured under
Data Protection Act 1998.
2. Introduction
Autonomous vehicles have been helping in reducing number of accidents on roads. It
helps in improving road safety as most of the road accidents occur due to human error. This also
contribute in minimizing the usage of fuel and reduce emission with increase efficiency of land
use (Litman 2017). The current automated systems function as a supportive automation with
other advanced systems allows driver to get out of loop and help in monitoring environment and
control part of driving task. The interaction between driver and autonomous driving system need
to be considered with fully automated vehicle (Boesch, Ciari and Axhausen 2016). However,
vigilance of driver has been a key component in the automated driving systems that are
developed by three authorities including the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the United
States National Highway traffic Safety Administration, the German Federal Highway Research
