1  Definition

Road Attributes is a Data Type describing the structural, regulatory, and usage‑related characteristics of a Road Segment as required by the Autonomous Motion Subsystem (AMS) for Motion Planning, Risk Assessment, and Trajectory Feasibility analysis.

2  Functional Requirements

The Road Attributes include, at minimum, the following:

  • NumberOfLanes – the count of physically designated lanes.
  • Length – linear extent of the road segment.
  • Width – nominal road or lane width.
  • MaxSpeed – maximum regulated speed.
  • MinSpeed – minimum regulated speed when applicable.
  • MaxHeight – maximum clearance allowed.
  • MaxWeight – maximum permitted vehicle gross weight.
  • LaneUsage – direction of travel allowed (e.g., forward, backward).
  • Category – functional classification (e.g., oneway, toll, link).
  • Types – structural road type (e.g., highway, street, avenue, boulevard, lane).

The AMS may use Road Attributes for Road State integration, route feasibility assessment, safe trajectory generation, and for verifying regulatory constraints such as lane direction, speed limits, and vehicle admissibility based on height or weight.
