• Abstract:
  Professional development and training are essential to the incorporation of connected/automated vehicles (C/AV) into the ; transportation planning process. In order to guarantee a successful deployment, transportation planning agencies and their ; stakeholders must understand these technologies well enough to support both planning and operations functions. The objective of ; this task is to assess and describe how professional development and training programs should be designed to impart the required ; knowledge and skills. ; This Technical Memorandum summarizes the results of the work conducted in Skills and Expertise Required to Incorporate ; Connected Vehicles into Transportation Planning, and documents the results of the following four activities: ; 1. Benchmark Existing Training Programs—C/AV training programs are defined and categorized including a comprehensive ; table that summarizes available C/AV training such as courses (in person and online), webinars, workshops, presentations, and ; special event training (e.g., “hackathons”). Public and private sector programs are identified along with academic/NGO programs. ; 2. Conduct Interviews—Interviews conducted with representatives of the public and private sectors, as well as academic and NGO ; personnel are documented. ; 3. Synthesize Interview Findings—Interview findings are synthesized and organized according to the four discussion topics. ; 4. Provide Recommendations and Potential Strategy—Recommendations for C/AV training for the planning community are ; summarized, organized by training content, audiences, and delivery approaches, and describes a potential strategic approach to ; developing a training program, along with a range of expected costs, and recommended frequency for delivery.
