Stress Test — Routing AI Sends Truck into Weight-Restricted Bridge

2. Stress Test — Routing AI Sends Truck into Weight-Restricted Bridge

Scenario

A routing system assigns a delivery path to a heavy freight truck. The route includes a bridge with weight restrictions not reflected in the system’s dataset.

Stress Test Question

How should routing AI validate infrastructure constraints before dispatching a vehicle?

Expected Behavior

• Cross-check route with infrastructure databases
• Flag restriction conflicts before dispatch
• Provide alternate compliant routes
• Require human confirmation if uncertainty exists

3. Stress Test — Autonomous Truck Encounters Disabled Vehicle on Shoulder

Scenario

A disabled vehicle is partially in the right lane. The autonomous truck must decide whether to:

• change lanes
• slow down
• or maintain course

Traffic is moderate.

Stress Test Question

How should the system balance traffic flow with hazard avoidance in partial-lane obstruction scenarios?

Expected Behavior

• Identify obstruction classification
• Safely merge if possible
• Reduce speed if merge not immediately safe
• Maintain safe clearance distance

4. Stress Test — AI Dispatch Ignores Rapid Weather Escalation

Scenario

A truck is dispatched on a route where weather conditions deteriorate rapidly (heavy rain, reduced visibility), but the routing AI does not update the route.

Stress Test Question

Should routing AI dynamically reroute based on real-time weather risk?

Expected Behavior

• Continuously monitor weather data
• Trigger rerouting thresholds
• Alert driver/operator
• Adjust ETA and safety profile
