On the need to specify mandatory metrological requirements for measuring instruments to be installed on automated (autonomous) vehicles

Abstract The introduction of automated (autonomous) wheeled vehicles at the current stage of technology development is accompanied by the absence of mandatory requirements for new components of automotive equipment in the key regulatory legal acts of the states (for the Russian Federation - in the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union 018/2011). For the first time used on wheeled vehicles coordinate-temporal and line-angle measuring instruments, the ranges and measurement errors of both the measured quantities and all external influencing factors in which the measurement results should be obtained have not been established. At the same time, these measurement results will have a direct impact on traffic safety, protection of human life and health, property and environment. The article demonstrates a theoretical example of the use of automated (autonomous) transport, shows the need for testing measuring instruments planned for installation on transportation vehicles in the dynamic ranges of all influencing factors.
