Abstract:The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) commissioned a one-year project, Connected and Autonomous
Vehicles 2040 Vision, with researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to assess the implications of connected and
autonomous vehicles on the management and operation of the state’s surface transportation system. This report explores the
impacts of connected and autonomous vehicles on design and investment decisions, communication devices investment, real-time
data usage, existing infrastructure, workforce training needs, driver licensing and freight flow as they relate to PennDOT. For each
of these areas, a set of recommendations has been provided. As connected and autonomous technologies are advancing, it is
recommended that PennDOT take these actions in a timely manner. A timeline for the recommended actions has been
provided to help PennDOT plan accordingly. The timelines are based on current available information and the time frames are
likely to change over time.
