Abstract:As connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies rapidly advance from concept to in-vehicle testing, real-world testbeds equipped with the appropriate technologies to support testing of these vehicles is a requirement. Testing must occur on multiple fronts, including communications and safety, to fully explore and vet the non-traditional methods these vehicles will use for communication, as well as to understand the potential benefits of these approaches. While the testbed must be equipped with traditional Intelligent Transportation System monitoring equipment and the new infrastructure elements to support CAV applications, it should also be designed as a flexible and extensible environment to support future needs. Within such a testbed, research questions concerning system design and safety application development issues can be addressed. This research project was intended to define the needs and requirements for a CAV testbed plan. The project was successful in defining needs and requirements, establishing a plan that was approved by all operating agencies, and securing initial funding. Ultimately, the testbed was not constructed due primarily to challenges of COVID-19, including supply chain procurements and cost increases.
