This collection showcases USDOT-funded research and data concerning AVs. Bookmark this collection: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/collection_avs OR https://doi.org/10.21949/1x81-qs91.
This report describes a framework for establishing sample preliminary tests for Automated Driving Systems. The focus is on light duty vehicles exhibiting higher levels of automation, where the system is required to perform the full dynamic driving task, including lateral and longitudinal control, as well as object and event detection and response.
This report documents the work completed by the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners LLC (CAMP) Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Consortium during the fourth year of the “Development of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Applications (V2I) Program.” Participating companies in the V2I Consortium during this period were Ford, General Motors, Hyundai-Kia, Honda, Ma

Task 3-C in Phase 3 of the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program Cooperative Agreement calls for a Stakeholder Outreach activity that includes an interoperability activity showing successful interaction between the local Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment site and in-vehicle devices from one or more other Connected Vehicle Pilot site. The US D

This research project addresses a series of issues relating to autonomous vehicle adoption, the potential impact of temporal instability (with an application to vehicle safety), and the role of social learning processes as they relate to future travel behavior. The report of research results begins with a study of the effect shared autonomous vehic

This report describes the research effort to assess the functional safety of electric power steering (EPS) systems. This study also considers the additional active steering and four-wheel steering features, which are incorporated into some EPS systems. This study follows the Concept Phase process in the ISO 26262 standard and applies hazard and ope

This report describes the research assessing the functional safety of foundational steering systems, specifically, steer-by-wire (SbW) systems. This study also considers the additional active steering and four-wheel steering features, which could potentially be incorporated into some SbW systems. This study follows the Concept Phase process in the

This report describes research to assess the functional safety of a generic automated lane centering (ALC) system and three related foundational systems --electric power steering (EPS), steer-by-wire (SbW), and conventional hydraulic braking (CHB). ALC systems are a key technology that supports vehicle automation by providing continuous lateral con

$2.6 trillion (over 5% of global GDP) lost annually due to collusion, corruption, and fraud. Impacts: reduced funds for development; lower quality of life; increased poverty; erosion of trust social contract between societies and governments. The World Bank considers corruption as a main challenge to its institutional goals of ending extreme povert

The results and conclusions of an initial experiment that examined human-factors issues in the use of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and a hypothetical cooperative ACC (CACC) in which ACC supplemented with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications to extend ACC capabilities. In this driving simulator–based experiment, the CACC system was modeled to ac

This paper presents a mesoscopic stochastic model for the reconstruction of vehicle trajectories from data made available by subsets of (probe) vehicles. Long-range vehicle interactions are applied in a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process to capture information made available to connected and autonomous vehicles. The dynamics are represente

Drivers have poor conceptual understanding of new adaptive driver safety systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control (ACC). When using advanced safety systems, older drivers tend to be more open to learning through reading manuals, but also tend to struggle with learning the uses and limitations of a safety system. Different instructional format

To better prepare for the operations of an automated shuttle bus in mixed general traffic and in Minnesota cold weather climate conditions, MnDOT is conducting an Autonomous Bus Pilot project. The purpose of the proposed Minnesota Autonomous Bus Pilot project is to define an automated vehicle pilot and solicit technology partners to come to Minneso

This research sought to evaluate the broad impacts that automated and connected vehicle technologies can have on both the motor carrier and rail industries. Since the development and adoption of these technologies are likely to be gradual, three phases were posited and analyzed. Depending on the degree of autonomy that is available, the motor carri

This report describes the experiment on how to model impacts of connected and autonomous/automated vehicles (CAVs) and ride-hailing with an Activity-Based Model (ABM) and Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) in the context of Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA). EMA is a systematic approach to perform sensitivity analyses using models when users ca

Automobiles are increasingly equipped with autonomous and semi-autonomous technologies such as adaptive cruise control and automated lane-keeping. It is apparent that increasing numbers of these smart vehicles will have a dramatic impact on network-level mobility factors such as traffic congestion and travel times. By enabling platooning of groups
