A Bibliometric Analysis of Trends and Collaborations in Autonomous Driving Research (2002-2024)
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Through the deployment of bibliometric techniques and network visualizations, this analysis synthesizes the evolution and trajectories of autonomous driving research from 2002 to May 2024, as captured in the Scopus database encompassing 342 scholarly documents. This study was conducted to delineate the developmental contours, thematic emphases, and the expansive growth trajectory within this field, particularly noting a surge in scholarly outputs since 2017. Such growth has been primarily facilitated by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and sensor technologies, along with burgeoning interdisciplinary collaborations and escalating academic and industrial investments. A meticulous examination of publication trends, document types, subject areas, and geographic distributions elucidates the multidisciplinary and international nature of this burgeoning field. Key thematic clusters identified—comprising foundational technologies, environmental sustainability, safety measures, regulatory frameworks, user experience, connectivity, and technological innovations—underscore the prevailing research directions and emerging focal areas poised to shape future autonomous mobility solutions. Notably, increased emphasis on environmental sustainability and regulatory frameworks has been observed, highlighting their critical roles in advancing and integrating autonomous driving systems. This study provides pivotal insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, fostering a nuanced understanding of the field’s dynamics and facilitating strategic alignments and innovations in autonomous mobility. The emergent research domains and collaborative networks revealed herein not only map the current landscape but also guide future scholarly endeavors in autonomous driving systems globally.
