• Abstract:
  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is investigating how emerging connected-vehicle (CV) and automated-vehicle (AV) technologies can address roadway-departure (RwD) crashes. The objective of this project was to develop a framework for FHWA regarding how the infrastructure components need to change to accommodate CV and AV technologies to help reduce the frequency and severity of RwD crashes. The project produced a list of initiatives that FHWA may use to support the deployments of CV and AV technologies in ways that will address RwD crashes. The initiatives were developed from a literature review and consultation with technology developers, vehicle manufacturers, State and local departments of transportation, infrastructure officials, and other stakeholders.
