An Online Safety Guard For Intelligent Transportation Systems

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) become more and more sophisticated. They get equipped with different sensors to observe environmental as well as traffic conditions targeting to increase traffic flow and to improve roadway safety. At the same time, automated driving systems are hitting the road and their safety concepts become more and more mature. This raises the idea of what it would take to transfer advanced in-vehicle safety approaches into the roadside. In this paper, we discuss how Responsibility-Sensitive Safety can be applied as a safety guard within the infrastructure and show the incremental benefits for the ITS.
