Abstract

As a key breakthrough to promote the reform of the transportation industry, autonomous driving technology is leading the profound change of road design and traffic control mode. This paper starts with an overview of autonomous driving technology, analyzes the specific impact of this technology on road design and traffic control, and discusses how autonomous driving technology promotes the optimization of road design adaptability, intelligent upgrade of traffic signal control system, traffic flow management and safety improvement. At the same time, this paper discusses how autonomous driving technology drives the future development of road design and traffic control, and promotes innovation in traffic control strategies and the integration of multi-level traffic systems. The research results provide theoretical support for the progress of intelligent transportation system and the wide application of autonomous driving technology.
