TRB Providing Policy Advice
Informing Policy-Makers on Research Needs
Connected/Automated Vehicles: What Have We Learned?
Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies Source: Gartner, Inc.
Automated Vehicles: When?
Connected or Autonomous? Something everywhere vs. everything somewhere
Safety Outlook?
Congestion?
Energy & Environment Impacts? +200% Potential Impact of Automated Vehicles on Energy Consumption & Emissions by 2050 (U. S. DOE – July 2016) -90%
Traffic Control Devices?
Growing Number of States Using UAVs (Drones) AASHTO March 2016 Survey • 17 State DOTs researched and/or use drones • Bridge inspections • Surveying & aerial photography • Mitigating landslide risks • Benefits: • Better data • Save time, reduced costs, increased safety, reduced congestion
More Questions Than Answers! Need Research!
NCHRP Projects: Connected/Automated Vehicles & Other Transformational Technologies
Impacts of CVs and AVs on State and Local Transportation Agencies [NCHRP 20 -102] • Project approved in Dec 2014 • $3. 5 M authorized to-date; additional $ hoped for in future years • Panel decides which tasks to pursue – Principally from a research roadmap developed in NCHRP Project 20 -24(98) • Contractors selected through limited, closed competition
Active Tasks for NCHRP 20 -102 • Implications of Automation for Motor Vehicle Codes • Providing Support to the Introduction of CV/AV Impacts into Regional Transportation Planning and Modeling Tools • Dedicating Lanes for Priority or Exclusive Use by CVs and AVs • Road Markings for Machine Vision
Active Tasks for NCHRP 20 -102 (cont. ) • Policy and Planning Actions to Internalize Societal Impacts of CV and AV Systems into Market Decisions • Impacts of Regulations and Policies on CV and AV Technology Introduction in Transit Operations • Challenges to CV and AV Applications in Truck Freight Operations
NEW Tasks for NCHRP 20 -102 (Approved July 22, 2016) • Cybersecurity implications for states & locals • Potential impacts on travel demand (synthesis of existing studies) • Business models to facilitate the deployment of CV infrastructure to support AV operations • Data management strategies for CAV applications for planning & operations
NCHRP 20 -113: Transformational Technologies Research Roadmaps & Partnerships • Develop research roadmaps for transformational technologies • Update research roadmap for connected/automated vehicles • Lay foundation for public/private/university partnerships for transformational technologies research
Transformational Technologies in Transportation Partners in Research Symposium October 31 -November 1 Detroit, Michigan Co-sponsored by Michigan DOT and NCHRP
