Abstract:The connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies will bring unprecedented changes in the landscape of transportation systems for areas like operations, management, and infrastructure needs. To assure a safe, reliable, and trustworthy connected and automated transportation system, it is important to have a clear CAV implementation pathway that includes operational guidelines, expected benefits, and deployment standards, which will allow all stakeholders (general public, infrastructure owner operators, departments of transportation, cities, metropolitan planning organizations, technology developers) to work holistically. To support the foundational CAV implementation pathways for the state of Kansas, this research aims to synthesize the existing CAV regulation and policies, ongoing and planned deployments of CAV technologies, and workforce development and educational outreach efforts. This will help build a functional knowledge base and allow us to learn from ongoing efforts to transition to the CAV environment. Our synthesis study also examines the CAV readiness of the different states using the survey data collected by the U.S. Intelligent Transportation System Joint Program Office. This report summarizes the strategic priorities of these states and the steps that these different states have undertaken for expanding educational outreach, focusing on the stakeholder, specifically the general public, transportation agencies, policymakers, and technology developers. This study can be used as a resource to compare and contrast the policies, laws, and guidelines that other progressive states are following (e.g., license for testing AVs on roads, vehicle registration procedures); what steps the states have taken to educate their citizens about these emerging technologies (e.g., webinars, training programs); how much the states are ready to accommodate these technologies in the future (e.g., infrastructure development, managing funding resources); and what types of pilot projects have been undertaken and are currently ongoing (e.g., automated shuttles, delivery services).
