Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電機工程學研究所 === 107 === Safe driving is a relatively new concept that focuses on solving the responsibility attribution problem for autonomous vehicles (AVs) claiming that once the AVs follow a series of pre-defined safe driving policies, it''s free from liability even when any accident happens. In this work, we propose safe driving policies for traffic configurations including straight road, intersection, and Manhattan-like city. Base on the defined safe driving policies, we propose a new concept named safe driving efficiencies that include both safe driving capacity (SDC) and safe driving throughput (SDT) to measure the maximum AVs a traffic configuration could accommodate or handle in space and time domain respectively. The values obtained are the fundamental limits of the traffic efficiencies for liability-free AVs under the defined conditions. This work also provide thourough explanations, implications, limitations, and trade-offs on the design philosophy and the resulted safe efficiencies.
