PROJECT MOTIVATION CV/AV technologies continue to

advance towards introduction Open questions and issues remain for

state and local agencies Develop a roadmap of research and

related activities to close gaps

PROJECT OVERVIEW Develop a catalog of open issues and

research needs Prioritize issues in catalog and consolidate

into research projects Develop a roadmap of research activities Develop a structure for maintenance of the

roadmap Summarize project for dissemination

5

UNRESOLVED ISSUES FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES Over 100 research questions

PlanningInfrastructurePolicy Modal Apps

6

PANEL VOTING ON IMPORTANCE OF ISSUES Topics in infrastructure operations were most

consistently rated “critical” Limited consensus: votes of both “critical” and “not

important” on many topics

7

INSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY Business models for infrastructure deployment Public policy actions to facilitate implementation Implications of AV for motor vehicle codes Harmonization of state goals and regulations Fed/state/local responsibilities Lessons learned from Safety Pilot and CV Pilots Lessons learned from other tech rollouts (e.g.

511, Next Gen air traffic control)

INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN/OPERATIONS Road infrastructure design Tools for CV/AV impact

assessment CV/AV maintenance fleet

apps Relationships of CV to AV Traffic control strategies

Dedicated lanes for CV/AV Roadway geometric design Cybersecurity for states and

locals Workforce capability

strategies Management of “Big” Data

9

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AVs and regional long-term planning

models Assessing impacts of CV/AV (applying

tools to test cases) Modeling effects of AV/CV on land use

and travel demand

MODAL APPLICATIONS Impacts of transit regulations on AV/CV

tech introduction Next steps for AV/CV applications to

long-haul freight Benefit/cost analysis of AV transit

systems

Step 1 2 3 4 5 6WHAT Review AV/CV roadmap

RNS/RPS and new ideasMaintain priority rankings, sort new RPS from Step 1

Draft new/modified RPS to advance to SCOR / DOT / CVPFS

Review and prioritize AV/CV RPS; advocate and coordinate funding agency

Submit RPS, RFP, task order descriptions

Track previous, on-going, and scheduled research; identify new ideas and issues

WHO 20-102 panel; oversight from FHWA, DOT, V2I coalition liaisons as appropriate

20-102 panel, in consultation with other funding partners

20-102 panel with support from AV/CV subcommittee of TSM&O research task force

20-102 panel with support from AV/CV subcommittee of TSM&O research task force

20-102 panel 20-102 panel; oversight from FHWA, DOT, V2I coalition liaisons as appropriate

WHEN TRB Annual Meeting Mid-February 1 month prior to TRB/AUVSI Automated Vehicles Symposium

TRB/AUVSI Automated Vehicles Symposium

By Sept 15 of each year (for 20-102 projects), other funding agencies have different schedules

November each year

HOW Face to face meeting including existing contractors

Webinar Champions for each RPS lead creation of draft, committee review

Formal component of summer meeting agenda; 20-102 panel finalize RPSs for task orders, coordinated with CVPFS and DOT ID/IQ managers, for complementary funding sources

Formal submission process of updating task orders / extending existing 20-102

Presentations by current research teams and entities at webinar or face-to-face meeting of TSM&O research task force, DOT, JPO, CVPFS

16

NEXT STEPS NCHRP 20-102 RFP released,

responses due 1/29/15 Selection of multiple teams available for

task orders 20-102 panel formed, prioritizing first

$1 M allocation Summer 2015 task orders begin
