Summary of "Autonomous Vehicles" Draft #1


In this article “Singapore revs up engines for autonomous vehicles race” Noble (2019) states that a temporary national standard called “Technical Reference 68(TR 68)” plays an important role in developing autonomous vehicles (AVs), which advocates the safety of fully deplorable AVs. Noble also states that TR68 was implemented to deal with "four key areas of AV deployment including vehicles behaviour, vehicle functional safety, cybersecurity, and data formats". Noble also wrote about a statement made by Loh Ngai Seng, chairman of the Committee on Autonomous Road Transport for Singapore (CARTS) “in the early 2020s, we hope that TR 68 will guide AV industry players in the safe and effective deployment of AVs in Singapore”. As stated by Fitch Ratings, with the implementation of TR68, it will improve Singapore establishment and acceptance of AVs. In addition, it will entice overseas “autonomous technology” organization to Singapore. In order for Singapore to have a safe execution on autonomous vehicles, setting up TR 68 is required.

The purpose of this email is to introduce myself so that you could know me better. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a D iploma in Biomedical Engineering in 2017 and I am currently studying Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (SIE - Land).   I gained an interest in engineering during my polytechnic days, as I love problem-solving and I am also interested in the transport system in Singapore. Therefore, I decided to pursue this degree in  the Singapore Institute of Technology(SIT). I love to sing during my free time. Singing is a type of performing arts and a type of communication. For example, by singing a birthday song, it tells the person you care about them to even remember their birth date. The tone of the song is cheerful, this shows that it is an import

Introduction 1.1 Background Land Transport Authority (LTA), released a yearly vehicle statistic in 2018 regarding the motor vehicle population in Singapore along with the types of fuel used by the vehicles as shown in Figure 1. The statistics showed clearly that over the past 10 years, there is only a slight increase in the electric vehicles(EVs) population while petroleum, diesel and petrol-electric operated cars increased largely. With the growing amount of fuel consuming vehicles, the consumption of oil in Singapore has also increased greatly over the past 10 years. According to Census and Economic Information Center(CEIC) data, it was reported that Singapore’s Oil consumption was 1,448.792 Barrel/Day in December 2018 which is 2.1 percent more than that in Dec 2017 as shown in Figure 2. Singapore’s Oil Consumption data was updated annually, with an average of 457.718 Barrel/Day from Dec 1965 to 2018. This means that a vehicle is consuming at least 166,805 Barrels/Year. Howev
