AASHTO CV/AV RESEARCH ROADMAP NCHRP 20-24 (98) 1

PROJECT OVERVIEW CV/AV technologies continue to advance towards adoption Open questions on CV/AV remain for state and local agencies Develop a prioritized list of issues and research needs Develop a roadmap of research activities and a plan for maintenance 2 2

UNRESOLVED ISSUES FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES Over 100 research questions Policy Infrastructure Planning Modal Apps 3 3

INSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY Business models for infrastructure deployment Public policy actions to facilitate implementation Implications of AV for motor vehicle codes Harmonization of state goals and regulations Fed/state/local responsibilities Lessons learned from Safety Pilot and CV Pilots Lessons learned from other tech rollouts (e.g. 511, Next Gen air traffic control) 4 4

INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN/OPERATIONS Road infrastructure design Tools for CV/AV impact assessment CV/AV maintenance fleet apps Relationships of CV to AV Traffic control strategies Dedicated lanes for CV/AV Roadway geometric design Cybersecurity for states and locals Workforce capability strategies Management of “Big” Data 5 5

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AVs and regional long-term planning models Assessing impacts of CV/AV (applying tools to test cases) Modeling effects of AV/CV on land use and travel demand 6 6

MODAL APPLICATIONS Impacts of transit regulations on AV/CV tech introduction Next steps for AV/CV applications to long-haul freight Benefit/cost analysis of AV transit systems 7 7
