Abstract:

CAV technologies offer potentially transformative societal impacts—including significant mobility, safety, and environmental benefits. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has led the development, research, and standards-making of these technologies, and is currently developing deployment approaches and guidance. ; Deploying CAV applications require transportation agencies to quantify effectively and fully the impacts of such implementations, and to identify which application best addresses their unique transportation problem. However, current traffic analysis and planning tools are not well suited for evaluating CAV applications because of their inability to incorporate vehicle connectivity and automated features. It is necessary to adapt and re-engineer the existing set of tools available to agencies, validate these models/ tools, and provide a mechanism to share these models/tools with public agencies. ; To this end, FHWA initiated an effort to develop AMS tools for CAV applications and to conduct realistic case studies with these tools to help inform implementation and estimation of benefits.
