1. Connected & Automated Vehicle Executive Leadership Team (CAV ELT)
US – France bilateral session
January 8, 2017

2. CAV-ELT Meeting since 2005, Original Focus:
Provide strategic guidance,
Recommend policies and national deployment approaches,
Provide critical program reviews,
Assess the risks associated with deployment,
Commit the resources of their organizations,
Educate their organizations and supporting institutions

3. CAV-ELT April Meeting Results
April 22, 2016 CAV-ELT meeting in Detroit
Members invited other stakeholders including private sector, Academia, other associations and others
Identified 7 high priority policy perspectives
National Guidelines
Early-Stage Risks
Interoperability
Industry-Government Information Exchange
Data Access Provisions
Public Outreach and Education
Planning Scenarios.

4. Policy Perspective (1): National Guidelines
Nature and Scope of Issue
Articulate the roles & responsibilities of all levels of government
Federal, state, regional, county & city
Based on AV use cases for wide deployment of mobility services
Infrastructure planning, design, operation & maintenance for AV use
Standards for AV-friendly infrastructure
This policy perspective is being pursued as a NCHRP (20-24) research project

5. Policy Perspective (2): Early-Stage Risks
Nature and Scope of Issue
FCC allowing unlicensed uses within the 5.9 GHz band reserved for safety
Less spectrum or lower-quality spectrum
Need for re-testing
Security and privacy of networks used for CV, AV and CAV
The stakes are raised with AV

6. Policy Perspective (3): Interoperability
Nature and Scope of Issue
Availability of CV best practices to all levels of government and deployment consortia
Peer-to-peer and best practice exchanges
Public sector roles in communication and data support for AVs
By use case and operating environment
Potential needs for roadway classification
Early – Stage Risks and Interoperability policy perspectives are being combined and a “white paper” is prepared to be pursued for research

7. Policy Perspective (4): Industry-Government Information Exchange
Nature and Scope of Issue
Voluntary industry-government data exchange to support the rollout of AV
Feasibility study of the potential content and method of information exchange
Potential role of industry associations and independent organizations

8. Policy Perspective (5): Data Access Provisions
Nature and Scope of Issue
Data streams generated by CV, AV and CAV will have high value
Transparency and early risk detection, and management of the network.
Safety related data and data exchange for V2V,V2I, and V2X
Privacy, security, and liability matters related to data
Non-safety related data(i.e. traffic operations and signals)
Data Processing, backhaul, communication interfaces, standards, and protocols

9. Policy Perspective (6): Public Outreach and Education
Nature and Scope of Issue
Strong public-private agreement on advancing CAV
Urgent need for development of a comprehensive public outreach and education program for CAV.
Should include travelers, elected officials and public and private entities in the CAV ecosystem.

10. Policy Perspective (7): Planning Scenarios
Nature and Scope of Issue
Need for set of planning assumptions, scenarios and tools to include CAV in long-term planning and budgetary issues.
The wide-range deployment of CAV will profoundly influence agency planning activities

11. 2017 CAV-ELT proposed activities
Conduct 2-3 webinars throughout the year
Updates on high Priority policies
Update on NCHRP CAV activities and solicit guidance
1-2 face to face meetings
Update on overall State-of-the activities in CAV
States activity updates
Specific project and program updates
