Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated the Testing and Pilot Design, Development, and Evaluation Framework project with the objective of developing a framework that enables collaboration among Automated Driving System (ADS) developers and Infrastructure Owners and Operators (IOO) for research, testing, and development activities. This Framework report is based upon feedback FHWA received through extensive engagement and input from ADS developer and roadway stakeholders, including automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, technology companies, and State, and regional government entities. The intent is for the Framework to advance each of the stakeholder’s valuable knowledge and information towards the realization of a safe system approach. The findings contained in the Framework support that research and development tests need to be collaborative and thoughtfully structured with regards to goals, design, monitoring mechanisms, and evaluation schemes to advance the state of knowledge gained through these engagements. Additionally, this Framework provides collaboration elements and considerations that apply throughout the research and development testing phases, including aids and checklists, collaboration opportunities, and real-world examples from across the country. While the focus of this Framework is primarily directed toward ADS development and roadway testing—benefits of utilizing the collaboration Framework for higher levels of driving automation can be realized and also extend to development of other types of transportation technologies as well.
