Abstract:Massive employment growth at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC), with housing stock primarily in the Reno/Sparks area – and a constrained transportation corridor (I-80) connecting the two – is leading to significant congestion with the potential to slow desired economic development in the region. In addition to other strategies under consideration by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), such as shared mobility systems or widening of I-80 to accommodate existing and future commuter traffic, the objective of this study was to determine the potential ridership and design standard requirements of a dedicated AV facility (potentially a single lane or one lane in each direction with consideration of one-lane bridges as a cost savings measure) that would reduce construction costs by inhibiting heavy-duty truck or bus usage. The AV-only roadway is anticipated to incorporate technology from both AV and connected vehicle (CV) roadside technology to support optimized use, vehicle platooning and lane management functions.
