The future holds a surprise for all of mankind, depending on how we strive to move towards a more sustainable and safer road environment. The inclusion of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) into the traffic streams of many developed countries has led to higher levels of road safety and driver satisfaction. India, with a booming vehicle ownership rate and heterogenous traffic system, needs to give the connected autonomous vehicles inclusion a serious thought to help make roads safer and efficient. This paper aims to describe the development of CAV testbed at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) and the challenges faced in planned controllable environment setting for the developing world traffic. The testbed facility provides a well-developed infrastructure to aid the testing of unmanned terrestrial and aerial vehicles in a controlled environment. The testbed is equipped with a road network consisting of multiple road type combinations such as single-lane, two-lane, multi-lane roads with both bituminous and concrete road surfaces which will be further integrated with IITH campus roads. Additionally, the added infra capabilities include signalized, unsignalized intersections, rotary intersection, parking facility, bus stops with and without bus bays, pedestrian crossing facilities, ITS-enabled traffic signals, roadside unit (RSU), smart poles with sprinkler pipes for rain simulation, and variable message signs (VMS) for dynamic speed and route guiding, etc. The CAV use cases discussed in the paper are of great significance, as they emulate naturalistic conditions under which the CAVs are expected to perform and improve traffic safety and efficiency.
