• Abstract:
  In this report, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has developed a Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Readiness Action Plan to guide the implementation, operation, and maintenance of CAV technologies at traffic signals and along roadways across the state. Through this action plan, TDOT aims to position Tennessee as a leader in CAV deployment ensuring safe and efficient transportation for all road users. Strong leadership support within TDOT will be essential to the success of this initiative. Building on TDOT’s previous investments and lessons learned from peer agencies, this plan outlines strategic and actionable recommendations (over a proposed 5-year period) to incorporate CAV technology into TDOT’s standard operations, and considers key industry priorities, such as delivering immediate benefits and achieving interoperability at scale. Recommended actions center around five areas: planning, policy, funding, engagement, and deployment. These recommendations aim to strengthen internal capabilities and foster collaboration with local agencies that are critical for CAV deployment efforts. Recognizing potential resource and expertise limitations of local agencies, the plan proposes models for TDOT’s support in assisting with CAV infrastructure deployment, operations, and maintenance. Successful implementation of this plan will establish CAV as a core component of TDOT’s standard operations and will position TDOT for continued investment and expansion.
