Introduction
The traffic system in the Netherlands will change over the duration of the next couple of years due to the change in the autonomy of the vehicles as well as the amount of completely autonomous vehicles that will be put into use in traffic. This report will look into the changes that might happen to the traffic systems such as traffic lights or even new road systems specifically designed for the autonomous vehicles.

Assignment
To review the changes that might happen in the traffic over the upcoming years, we will focus on making a research report.
Due to the changes in the traffic, there will need to be changes in respect to the traffic system to make the traffic flow more efficient as well as reduce the chance of accidents. The focus lies in a traffic system with a part human driven cars and a part autonomous cars.
We will divide the future into certain timestamps: 5 years, 10 yrs, 20 yrs, etc.
We will also divide traffic up into different situations in order to be able to look into different aspects: - the highway (lots of cars driving at high speed); - in the city (crossing and interaction with people); - countryside (not a lot of traffic).
Research plan / goal
Assumptions
In order to solve our main problem we need to make some assumptions. these assumptions help us to better address our problem statement. It also helps to break down the problem in its core problems and solutions. By simplifying the problem you make your problem more understandable. So our assumptions we made are the following.
We assume that the current traffic system is suboptimal in terms of: - Waiting in line for the traffic lights. As well as in terms of safety. - The current traffic system is also suboptimal in in terms of CO2 emission. - We also assume that self driving car will be fully autonomous in 20 years from now . - Robots make less errors than persons.
