• Abstract:
  This research focuses on evaluating current CAV crash reporting practices across the United States, identifying inconsistencies and gaps, and proposing recommendations for standardized reporting and legislation to ensure safe and effective deployment of CAVs on public roads. Researchers assessed CAV crash reporting practices across the United States through a mixed methods approach. A questionnaire survey was distributed to state transportation officials to gather detailed information on current crash reporting practices. In parallel with the survey, an extensive review of existing state legislation and definitions related to CAVs was conducted, focusing on aspects such as reporting requirements, definitions of automation levels, and the role of manufacturers and operators.
