## Description

This project will enable National Highways to understand what features of the road network are included in Operational Design Domains set by A & S-D V manufacturers and OEMs and whether this impacts any of our standards and specifications - including maintenance standards\. For example, if road linings are planed out but may still be faintly visible in bright conditions, would this cause an issue for A & S-D Vehicles? This will give us a greater understanding as to how varying Automated and Self-Driving Vehicles will interact with our road environment\. If required, a program of works to update our standards and specifications for us to enable the optimum performance of A & S-D V \(and therefore providing the safest environment for A & S-D Vs to operate in\) will be developed\.
