• Abstract:
  The principal objective of this project, “Connected Vehicle Impacts on Transportation Planning,” is to comprehensively assess how connected vehicles ; should be considered across the range of transportation planning processes and products developed by states, Metropolitan Planning Organizations ; (MPOs), and local agencies throughout the country. The purpose of this memorandum is to identify the need generated by Connected and Automated ; vehicle (C/AV) technology for new or enhanced tools, techniques, and data to support various C/AV planning activities and approaches for how to ; meet those needs. It focuses on identifying enhancements to existing transportation analysis data and tools used in transportation planning that will be ; needed to extend those tools to accommodate C/AV impacts and outcomes in the future. This report also considers the need for the development of ; entirely new tools and datasets when the existing ones cannot feasibly be enhanced or extended to enable C/AV analyses. This report follows four ; major themes, the first of which is a summary of existing data, tools and products currently used in transportation planning processes. The next area ; includes an evaluation and comparison of existing tools and their suitability for C/AV analysis with respect to input/output interfaces, usability, modeling ; features and calibration requirements. Following is a gap analysis that identifies the limitations of existing tools and data for use in analysis of C/AV ; technologies. The results show that data and analysis tools used in traditional long-term transportation planning would potentially be modified or ; overhauled to accommodate analyses of connected vehicle applications and technology. Finally a roadmap is provided that identifies 19 research ; topics to target these needs and gaps, identifies which agency would be best suited for addressing these needs, establishes priority levels for each ; topic, and discusses the expected availability of potential data sources to inform those topics.
