Many challenges remain before autonomous trucking can effectively penetrate rural areas in northern regions, which will require year-round operations over two-lane rural roads. These challenges include (1) operating and remotely monitoring autonomous trucks that must travel on two-lane rural roads and under extreme weather conditions; (2) the impacts of extreme cold on sensors and ADSs; (3) the implications of extreme winter conditions for safety inspections; and (4) change detection of operational conditions and appropriate responses. This session will highlight these and other challenges, existing and potential solutions, and ongoing research questions that will support expansion of autonomous trucking into rural and northern regions.
