Abstract:

Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) technologies are evolving at a fast pace, and new developments are occurring on a daily basis. These technologies have potential to significantly change transportation and travel, to make them safer, more accessible, and more efficient than they are today. There are many issues that will have to be investigated, such as the pace and extent to which CAV technologies become pervasive, the socioeconomic impacts of CAVs, their implication on privacy and security; to what extent will these technologies replace human drivers, and the legal and regulatory responsibilities for the safe operation of CAVs. State departments of transportation (DOTs) will need to plan to prepare for and accommodate CAV technologies. The purpose of this study is to provide baseline information pertaining to strategic planning for CAV technologies in Massachusetts. This information may be used to assist the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to develop a strategic plan to accommodate the deployment of such technologies and for related infrastructure investment decisions.
