- © 2020, Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature.The characterization of urban circuits for autonomous navigation is a crucial task for a fast integration of this technology in the near future. The purpose of this article is to present a proposal, that includes a sensor system that can acquire the necessary information to create an interactive redesign of an urban circuit for autonomous and electric vehicles. This proposal specifically consists in the instrumentation of a vehicle with a sensor system (Electronic and Computer Vision) that allows measurements on asphalt quality, quantity and type of signs, quality of communications systems, lane lines, vehicle dynamics, detection of other vehicles and any other element that helps to properly characterize a Smart Electromobility route. Once the information is captured, an analysis and mapping of the route is carried out to evaluate and redesign improvements in the route that allows the implementation of a Smart Electromobility circuit (for electric and autonomous vehicles). The system is developed and evaluated in an urban test route of Mexico City and the initial results are presented in this work.
