Fig. 1. Problems of implementing autonomous control.
There are three trends in the evolution of vehicle control systems:
1. Adaptation.
2. Automation.
3. Synthesis.
Historically, they occurred in this precise order.
Two adaptation trends can be distinguished:
1. Technical.
2. Anthropogenic.
Anthropogenic adaptation includes legal and social aspects.
Technical adaptation was the primary reason for new systems and devices to occur in vehicles. As soon as by the
1930s the modern design of vehicles had been formed, a desire was there to simplify the control process and
facilitate the driver's work, which can be achieved in engineering through automation. Implementing microprocessor
technologies in the 1970s promoted the development of active safety systems which further evolved through
synthesis.
Occurrence of vehicles late in the 19th century required the legal system to respond with a code of laws, standards
and rules regulating all related processes — manufacturing, maintenance, repair, inspection, driving on public roads,
etc. Implementation of autonomous control requires thorough revision of all international legal acts and this process
is already underway. Such organizations as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, European
Committee for Standardization (CEN), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), as well as
such national technical committees as TK 57 established at the premises of the Moscow Automobile and Road
Construction State Technical University (MADI), are involved in this process.

2. Anthropogenic adaptation to vehicles
In 130 years of history, several stages of development in vehicle/driver relations can be distinguished.
1. The first automobiles of the 19th century required having a unique set of knowledge as those vehicles could be
controlled only by those who designed them, constantly seeking for elegant engineering solutions. Not only
mechanisms, but also controls were not unified among different models.
The first half of the 20th century was characterized by a more complicated design. Only rather well-off people or
state structures, including the army, could afford owning a vehicle; therefore, a category of such professionals as
driver mechanics was formed, who not only controlled cars but also could fix their malfunctions on the road.
3. In the middle of the 20th century, vehicles became more widely spread (at a different pace in different
countries), and controls simplified which was promoted by an invention of a hydraulic and pneumatic braking drive
with a single-pedal control, an automated and automatic transmission, and a steering hydraulic booster (Gorobtsov et
al., 2017; Maksimychev et al.,2016; Ostroukh et al., 2016). It became obvious that it was much simpler and less
costly to have a courier mastering driving a vehicle than provide a driver mechanic for each courier. The mechanic
and driver jobs got split since it was impossible to teach couriers to repair the equipment that grew more
complicated. It is only the army where driver mechanics are still present.
4. Implementing active safety systems (the first one to be an anti-lock braking system in 1978 (Ivanov et al.,
2017)) increased safety of driving, but also provoked an increased number of driver mistakes and efforts to
overshoot the limit of system actuation. If road accidents had been previously associated with complex controls, now
they were caused by insufficient driver skills, since it became simpler to control vehicles: this is an inverse effect of
implementing active safety systems.
5. The beginning of the 21st century saw a breakthrough in the areas of computer technologies and mobile
communications. Almost everyone gained an access to a pocket-size gadget having computer capabilities. The
popularity of gadgets (at least, in developed and developing countries) shadowed television, Beatlemania, and even
drug addiction, alcoholism, and smoking. The automobile market capitalized on the trend and now almost every
driver is occupied with a mobile or vehicle-integrated gadget instead of staying focused on driving (both in traffic
jams and while driving). The denser is the flow and the longer is the red interval of traffic lights, the keener drivers
are occupied with their gadgets. As a consequence, the response time to the green light grows longer, the street-and-
road network traffic capacity decreases, and the number of small accidents increases due to the lack of attention. The
theories of flow movements and traffic signalization developed by Babkov, Silyanov, Kremenets and others did not
take this factor into account (Chubukov et al., 2017a; Kotov and Pospelov, 2017).
6. The second decade of the 21st century became pivotal in the area of intelligent transportation systems (ITS): the
first real models appeared, which brought about the approach to vehicles to a new level (Vlasov et al., 2017;
Zhankaziev, 2017; Zhankaziev et al., 2017a, 2017b). First of all, this allowed implementing automated systems of
vehicle renting, so called car-sharing, which is understood as something similar to internet-cafés. Modern models of
sustainable urban development suggest drifting from individual vehicles towards collective ones through, for
instance, setting up automobile clubs (Akimov et al., 2017; Donchenko et al., 2016; May et al., 2010; Trofimenko et
al., 2017). Secondly, a specific potential barrier has been overcome that allowed implementing rather successful
projects in partial autonomous vehicle control for specific scenarios or traffic modes (parking, driving along a
highway or in a traffic jam, following a leader in the column) (Akimov et al., 2016; Shadrin and Ivanov, 2016a,
2016b; Shadrin et al., 2016, 2017).
3. Modern trends of ITS development
The revised ITS development concept is intended to reshape people's opinion of freight transportation
management in general and control over individual vehicles in particular (Figure 2).
Mikhail Malinovsky et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 36 (2018) 480–486 483

Fig. 2. General vector of ITS development.
At the current stage of development, the ITS consists of various subsystems (automated traffic management
systems, systems to monitor road and road infrastructure conditions, road-user information systems, active driver
assistance systems, etc.) operating in the autonomous mode and providing one-way communication between the
infrastructure and the vehicle. It is the main disadvantage of this stage. In other words, in the best-case scenario,
ITSs are forced to predict response, and in the worst-case scenario, they simply do not take it into account. This
disadvantage significantly limits ITS functions and does not allow using the entire potential of the street-and-road
network traffic capacity. It makes no sense to consider the level of individual ITS subsystems as they can be
observed in everyday life. However, the next levels of the ITS concept are of great interest. Currently, actives studies
are conducted and prototypes are tested in this field.
Design of cooperative intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS) represents an intermediate but undistinguished
stage of the ITS development. It mainly includes the development of various communication channels providing
feedback from the vehicle to the infrastructure as well as intervehicular communication. This can result in an
increase of the ITS efficiency and, consequently, in an increase of the road network use efficiency.
Full-scale implementation of such technologies imposes rather strict requirements to vehicle-borne equipment. At
the present time, C-ITS technologies are extensively tested. The following C-ITS prototypes can be provided as an
example:
a vehicle weigh-in-motion subsystem;
a road accident information subsystem;
a subsystem of coordinated traffic lights control;
a weather information system.

Mikhail Malinovsky, Andrey Vorobyev/ Transportation Research Procedia 00 (2018) 000000 5
With the use of the science and technology infrastructure of the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction
State Technical University (MADI), a Smart Road ITS pilot section was constructed. Here, C-ITS engineering
solutions are being developed and tested (Figure 3).
Fig. 3. Smart Road ITS.
It should be noted that it would be perfect for the ITS not only to analyze response to control actions and vehicle
behavior in the road network but to efficiently plan routes and manage traffic flows. This aspect led to the next stage
of ITS development: design and implementation of autonomous vehicles and coordinated autonomous vehicle
control. Within the framework of the concept described, an individual vehicle does not represent an independent
unit, i.e. movement is carried out in a single information field providing various interaction between vehicles, driver,
road infrastructure and other road users.
4. Social aspect of implementing autonomous vehicles
There are two approaches to driving:
1. Hedonistic.
2. Utilitarian.
Adepts of the first approach find it joyful to control a vehicle and they will hardly deprive themselves voluntarily
of the luxury. Some run to extremes buying a modern vehicle and illegally switching off active safety systems.
Transition of adepts of the hedonistic approach to autonomous control will require reshaping their mindset.
Most drivers are between two extremes using a combined approach: they like driving a vehicle on a highway, but
in a traffic jam they would prefer switching on the autonomous control mode. In long trips when fatigue is growing,
attention is declining and the accident probability increases, it is also practical to switch to autonomous control
(Malinovsky et al., 2017).
For those advocating the second approach, a vehicle is just a means to reach the destination. They are growing in
numbers: they sit at the wheel nuzzling into gadgets, paying little attention to the road. While it has been previously
believed that the reason behind this behavior is traffic jams where people have nothing to occupy themselves with,
Mikhail Malinovsky et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 36 (2018) 480–486 485
6 Mikhail Malinovsky, Andrey Vorobyev/ Transportation Research Procedia 00 (2018) 000000
now it is getting clearer that the phenomenon is not that simple. These drivers do not try to perfect their driving skills
and are not very well aware of the road traffic regulations. In Russia, the average level of driver training has been
falling down, despite the driving education reform, but the major thing is that there is no desire to master the art of
driving.
People belonging to this category would prefer handing over control over the vehicle. And this has several
positive aspects. First of all, it would be safer for the wider public (Nikolaev et al., 2016a, 2016b, 2017; Chubukov et
al., 2017b). Secondly, it would improve the vehicle efficiency. Thirdly, this would decrease the negative
environmental impact.
Modern vehicles have become rather reliable and easy to operate. Young people’s attitude towards vehicles is not
the same as that of their fathers and grandfathers who spent hours and days in garages repairing cars. Thanks to the
fuel injection and automated engine control system, we have no fear of starting engines in winter at -25ºC
(Golubchik et al., 2016). A modern young man wants just to reach the destination instead of taking care of the
vehicle every day. The generation is growing up in whom authorities instill that a vehicle is just another gadget.
First of all, it is reasonable to apply autonomous control for the following categories of risk:
1. Taxi drivers. Earlier they were professional drivers who knew Moscow by heart. Now any amateur can become
a taxi driver who looks for new orders while driving, getting bearings using a smart phone navigator. According to
the mayor of Moscow, more than 60,000 taxis are registered in the city for 12,380,664 people at the population
density of 4,834.31 people/sq. m. For comparison: in Tokyo, there are only 50,000 taxis serving 13,735,582 citizens
at the density of 6,279.11 people/sq. km.
2. Car sharing. Vehicles of this service can be easily equipped with advanced active safety systems but operators
do not do it for money-saving purposes. The driving style of users is below average: first of all, there is no constant
practice; secondly, people driving these cars do not take care of borrowed vehicles. No one is testing the knowledge
of road traffic regulations before the trip. This also applies to bicycle sharing which has become very popular in
Moscow (Rozenblat, 2016; Trofimenko and Shashina, 2017).
5. Problem-solving Procedure
Many problems go beyond the above aspects:
1. Cyber-security, including protection against hacker attacks (as a social issue).
2. The budget will be deprived of one of the main income items, since fines for violating road traffic regulations
will become history.
3. Standardization issues.
4. Psychophysiology of interaction between the human and the autonomous driving system (in particular, the
issue of control transfer).
5. Training drivers will require a fundamentally new approach.
6. Drivers have different thresholds for nervous breakdown when waiting in traffic jams and at traffic lights as
well as different tolerance levels to errors made by other drivers. However, do not expect that autonomous control
will solve this issue. After the initial excitement, passengers will get angry that the vehicle goes too slowly, since,
with the fifth paradigm, overtaking will become irrelevant, for everyone will drive along highways with the same
maximum permitted speed as train cars. This will provide an inverse effect of implementing autonomous vehicles.
6. Conclusions
In principle, neither of the problems is of antagonistic nature. But their solution will require much time, probably
several decades. At the early stage of implementation, autonomous vehicles will pose risk for the wider public. On
the contrary, at later stages, vehicles with traditional control will be hazardous for autonomous vehicles.

The paper proposes a method for determining the longitudinal coefficient of adhesion of a studded tire on road surface, depending on the relative slip of the wheel (the φ-S diagram). The method for determining the coefficient is based on the analysis of vehicle deceleration and the relative slip of its braking wheels. The advantages and disadvantages of the developed method are indicated. Tests of the adhesion properties on ice of winter studded and non-studded tires were carried out according to the developed method. The tests were a series of braking the car Ford Focus with rear axle brakes. A set of measuring and recording equipment necessary for testing is described, and the test results are shown. The displacement of the φ-S diagram maximum of the studded tire to the area of large relative slip is determined. It was suggested that the effectiveness of electronic active safety systems can be reduced when the tire tread is studded.

This article describes some technical issues regarding the adaptation of a production car to a platform for the development and testing of autonomous driving technologies. A universal approach to performing the reverse engineering of electric power steering (EPS) for the purpose of external control is also presented. The primary objective of the related study was to solve the problem associated with the precise prediction of the dynamic trajectory of an autonomous vehicle. This was accomplished by deriving a new equation for determining the lateral tire forces and adjusting some of the vehicle parameters under road test conductions. A Mivar expert system was also integrated into the control system of the experimental autonomous vehicle. The expert system was made more flexible and effective for the present application by the introduction of hybrid artificial intelligence with logical reasoning. The innovation offers a solution to the major problem of liability in the event of an autonomous transport vehicle being involved in a collision.

The notion of qualitative correspondence matrixes is defined and revealed in this article. They are considered to be one of the key elements of the technology of indirect traffic (transportation) flows control and regulation and provide the basic source data not only on the level of designing and constructing the systems of indirect control and regulation of transport (traffic) flows, but also at the stage of their operation and functioning. This article also identified dependency of reliability of qualitative correspondence matrixes on the accuracy on the accuracy of the equipment and the method of its placement on the street-road (highway-road) network and the areas of application of the obtained relationships (dependencies) were identified. The aim of the research is to develop the method of defining accuracy of qualitative correspondence matrixes for an indirect control and regulation of traffic flows within the framework of an indirect control and regulation of traffic flows. Aiming at identification of transport means, the method of graphic recognition of state registration plates (signs) with a help of the road infrastructure was used, by doing so, accuracy of identifying the route of transport means (vehicles) can be found and identified with a help of Bernoulli’s formula. The obtained results can be used for feasibility (techno-economic) study of introduction of the systems of indirect traffic flows regulation during performing of the tasks of design and assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of system operation and functioning.

The article is devoted to a scientific substantiation of the optimum combination of equipment accuracy and principles of its placement on the highway-road network (urban transportation network) within the framework of indirect traffic flows control and regulation. Moreover, the minimum necessary accuracy of identification of the routes of vehicles (transport means) movement for the most efficient operation of the system of indirect traffic flows control and regulation is defined in the article. The major method of this research is the simulation modelling of traffic flow distribution, based on the recalculation of qualitative correspondence matrixes. The article describes the methodology of formation and redistribution of traffic flows, depicts street-road networks models (urban transportation network models), their main features and the results of the comparative analysis of the results of the experiments. The developed principle of adjusting and correcting the accuracy of qualitative correspondence matrixes allows us to reduce the minimum necessary accuracy of identification of routes of vehicles movement from 90% to 60% without significant losses in efficiency of indirect control and regulation of transport means.

The paper deals with development of smart technologies applied for providing the automatic movement of a motorcade of unmanned freight vehicles (autorobots) following the leading manned vehicle. While developing the control system of a robotic motorcade, it is necessary to represent the process of robot locomotion in the motorcade, as if they moved under control of this system in reality. One of the approaches that can solve this problem is simulation modeling applied in the paper in order to describe processes of robot locomotion in a motorcade in terms of an extreme and non-stationary environment. In the paper, results of developing the function and the structure of the simulation model of robot locomotion in a motorcade in terms of an extreme and non-stationary environment are presented. As to input parameters of the simulation model, the tasks are assigned and the requirements are defined. The research of approaches to formation of the simulation model is introduced. The agent-based approach is chosen. The types of agents for both handling the controlling command of autorobots and making a decision for controlling the entire motorcade by means of smart methods on the basis of agent-based providing information about the set of situation parameters are substantiated.
