Abstract
This paper proposes an automatic driving of commercial vehicle by infrastructure design. Various automation technologies have been carried out in recent years. These include automatic car driving established with a number of sensors and actuators. This even enables to guide the vehicle to the destination by adding improvements to the infrastructure. Therefore, assuming the use for Park and Ride combined with valet parking, a concept of utilizing a simple automatic driving control by road infrastructure at places is introduced such as underneath the elevated railway tracks. Dynamic simulation model which can deal with the influence of road slope and free-steering is made. And dynamics of vehicle on slope is simulated for a fundamental consideration of dynamic characteristics of a vehicle. Finally, dynamics of vehicle was simulated with three road surface types of cross-section, and the possibility of automatic driving is shown by specially designed road shapes.
