LTD.10.18063/CEF.v4i4.1878ArticleThe Coordinated Development of Digital and Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure with Autonomous Driving Technologieshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/CEF/4/4/10.18063/CEF.v4i4.1878HeBowen2026442026-04-26With the approach to mass commercial application in the future, this paper discusses the coordinated development logic and routes between the intelligent transportation system and intelligent driving. Analyzes the limits of individual vehicle intelligence and makes a case for the need to coordinate vehicles with roads, and clarifies how roadside infrastructure may supplement the limitations in on-board sensing technologies; presents a “layered empowerment and progressive deployment” strategy, and discusses related issues; and finally provides some policy and industry recommendations for informing future smart transportation system development.Digital and intelligent transformation of transportation infrastructure, Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), Edge computing
