• 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.
