Abstract:The Northeast Autonomous and Connected Vehicle Summit was hosted by the Connecticut Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration on June 12-13, 2018, at the Windsor Hartford Marriott. The event provided an open forum for stakeholders in the Northeast to network, share and discuss a wide range of topics related to the future of transportation and infrastructure. Through 30 different speakers, the summit provided direct access to both public and private experts who are currently developing, testing and studying various autonomous vehicle (AV), connected vehicle (CV) and connected and autonomous (CAV) technologies. The overall takeaways from the summit can be summarized as: (1) Collaboration is key to successful and efficient deployment, testing and knowledge transfer. As a collective whole, much more can be learned and achieved than if each state is working independently. States should be active, engaged and willing to participate in collaborative efforts as the scope and impacts are too large to go it alone. (2) Autonomous and connected vehicle needs must be integrated into a long-range plan, and technology capabilities are just one of many elements. (3) States should not ignore education to foster user acceptance and integration of these technologies into our transportation culture. (4) Highly specialized and focused discussions across state agencies and strategic partners must continue, and these partnerships need to be fostered. (5) States should start by developing strategic plans with a clear vision for the future. Plans must be living documents that will need to be flexible, adaptable and updated on a regular basis. (6) Technologies and policies are evolving too rapidly to create a document that is presumed to be static.
