Abstract:The goal of this project was to lay the groundwork for Oregon to be prepared to lead in the
implementation of a connected vehicle/cooperative systems transportation portfolio, and/or to avoid being caught
by surprise as developments in this area evolve quickly. The project assessed ODOT’s internal mechanisms for
addressing connected vehicle/cooperative systems, scanned, reviewed and assessed the technical maturity of
potential connected vehicle/cooperative system applications, developed preliminary goals, linked to prospective
connected vehicle/cooperative systems applications, and refined/ranked/prioritized those that fit with potential
ODOT role in advancing/leading these initiatives. The project identified opportunities for linking ODOT’s
current programs with national and international connected vehicle/cooperative system research, testing and
deployment initiatives, and recommended a final shared vision and “road map” for Oregon's priority connected
vehicle/cooperative system applications. This volume summarizes the results of a detailed internal-only
assessment and inventory of current technical and “cultural” status of ODOT activities and gain sense of interest
and readiness for potential alignment with potential applications and the future of connected and automated
vehicles. A survey was distributed to agency staff in order to gauge perception of connected and automated
vehicle technology. The empirical results of the survey are described in detail. In general, most respondents had
heard of these technologies and were in favor of their application. However, many had concerns about cyber
security and system failure having catastrophic consequences. Likewise, many voiced concerns about ODOT’s
preparedness for connected or automated vehicles. ODOT and other agencies can use these findings to help
prepare for a better future of connected and automated vehicles.
