M.Eng.(Melit.) ; The latest advancements in vehicle technology offer new solutions to the arising challenges to human drivers and road safety through autonomous vehicles (AV). Shortly, AVs will share the road with human driven vehicles forming a mixed traffic environment with different automation levels. Although an ecosystem of stakeholders is interested in the development of AV technology, improving road infrastructure is more crucial. This paper examines the physical and digital infrastructure changes required to facilitate automated driving. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing international research on the digitalisation of road infrastructure. Qualitative interviews were also conducted with road authorities, technology companies, and researchers to assess Malta's preparedness for digitalisation. Although financial and technological limitations exist, the study suggests that connected infrastructure can provide safer driving and reduced traffic congestion. The study concludes by proposing a work plan focusing on three main development criteria: connected infrastructure, transition period, and digitalisation of road transport systems. ; N/A
