26、s of automated vehicles in Australia were released in May 2017 to support nationally consistent conditions for automated vehicle trials in Australia. The guidelines were intended to: provide certainty and clarity to industry regarding expectations when trialling in Australia help agencies manage tri

27、als in their own jurisdictions as well as across state borders establish minimum standards of safety help assure the public that roads are being used safely help raise awareness and acceptance of automated vehicles in the community. Transport and infrastructure ministers directed that the guidelines

28、 should be reviewed every two years. We began this review of the guidelines in 2019 and it is the first to take place since they were published. The purpose of this discussion paper is to assess how well the guidelines are working in practice and to seek broader stakeholder views on any required cha

29、nges. Context Since the guidelines were published in May 2017 there have been a number of developments in trialling and the development of regulatory frameworks for automated vehicles: Trials have now taken place in every Australian state and territory, and trialling organisations and road transport

30、 agencies can share their experience of the application, approval and operation of trials. There has been further development of the regulatory framework for the commercial deployment of automated vehicles, which will eventually succeed the trials framework. International guidance has further evolve

31、d. The objectives of the review are to identify: whether the guidelines have assisted governments and trialling organisations challenges faced by governments and trialling organisations using the guidelines or in applying for, approving, operating and evaluating trials additional requirements govern

32、ments have placed on trialling organisations whether the guidelines should be updated to ensure a nationally consistent and safe approach to automated vehicle trials in Australia. Consultation topics In late 2019 the NTC undertook targeted consultation and a review of international guidance to infor

33、m this discussion paper. Through this consultation we have learned that trialling organisations and road transport agencies have found the guidelines useful, particularly as a starting point to guide trialling organisations as they prepare their trial applications. We have also learned that the guid

34、elines could provide further detail to assist trialling organisations Review of Guidelines for trials of automated vehicles in Australia: Discussion paper May 2020 8 and to provide some consistency in applications for road transport agencies. As well, we have learned that there are a number of diffe

35、rences in trial requirements and application processes across states and territories, which has led to differing experiences in gaining approvals for trials. Consultation topics in this discussion paper fall under five broad categories: content and level of detail in the current guidelines (chapter

36、3) application of the guidelines (chapter 4) administrative processes and harmonisation (chapter 5) other automated vehicle trial issues outside the scope of the guidelines (chapter 6). There could be a number of updates to the guidelines that will benefit both trialling organisations and road trans

37、port agencies. These include further detail about safety, traffic management and data and information requirements; further alignment with future safety requirements for commercial deployment; clarifying the application of the guidelines to other technologies, operating domains and types of trials;

38、and improving the efficiency of administrative processes at the point of application. We are seeking views from stakeholders on the potential updates discussed in this paper and on any other useful changes. We want to ensure the guidelines support safe and innovative trials in Australia. This will h

39、elp Australia gain the safety and productivity benefits of this technology. Next steps We are seeking written submissions and feedback through other methods by Friday 3 July 2020. During the consultation period we will also undertake broader consultation with stakeholders through meetings. Following

40、 this we will develop a policy paper and updated guidelines for the approval of transport and infrastructure ministers in November 2020.
