• Abstract:
  There is optimism that Automated Vehicles (AVs) can improve the safety of the transportation system, ; reduce congestion, increase reliability, offer improved mobility solutions to all segments of the population ; including the transportation-disadvantaged such as the elderly and disabled, and improve the quality of ; life of all people. The recently enacted HB 7061 stipulates that the Long Range Transportation Plans ; (LRTPs) in Florida consider the infrastructure changes needed to accommodate advanced vehicle ; technologies such as autonomous vehicles. This study reviewed current LRTPs of Florida MPOs with ; regards to AVs (About one-third of all MPOs include AV-related language in their current plans) and ; conducted a survey of MPOs to assess their opinions and needs. Overall, 23 of the 27 Metropolitan ; Planning Organizations (MPOs) had provided responses. The survey responses indicate that while ; MPOs are not skeptical of AV, there is much uncertainty in the anticipated impacts of this technology ; on attaining their planning goals. Further, the surveys clearly point to the MPOs need for information. ; This study undertook a synthesis of literature to address these issues, and this is included in the final ; report. Finally, a set of recommendations are developed for FDOT to assist MPOs incorporate AVs into ; their LRTPs. These recommendations are in line with the state’s vision to be a leader in the field of the ; new transformative technologies and are synergistic with the several initiatives the state is already ; undertaking.
