Self-Driving Vehicles
Autonomous car
» Cameras and sensors to detect
other vehicles and obstacles
▪ Scaled up from recently emerged
safety/driving technologies
▪ Leverages ultra-detailed maps
▪ Software learns from events
» Autonomous versus Driverless
Vehicles
▪ Also, in the future: VMT ≠ VMD
» Mixed Fleet in 2020s; moving
towards Dominant Fleet in the
2030-2040s (
potential requirements)

Connected Vehicles
Vehicles can communicate
with each other, roadside
devices, other users
» All equipped vehicles
» Intersections
» Pedestrians/cyclists
(smartphone)
NHTSA has published
multiple rules on CV (latest
was Sept 2017)
3 CV pilot projects
underway
» $42 million from FHWA

NHTSA/SAE Classification System for
Vehicle Levels of Automation

Connected and Self-Driving Vehicles
Possible Benefits
System -
When the majority of the fleet is
both connected and automated,
there will be significant decreases
in crashes, resulting in significant
increases in safety and reliability.
Vehicle spacing on roadways will
be safely reduced on a large scale,
reducing congestion and creating
more throughput
Benefits in all major areas: mobility
safety and environment

The Challenges Facing Transportation
Agencies
AV will impact almost everything across the
public agencies and the private sector,
including regional issues such as…
Transportation Planning
Traffic Engineering and Operations
Transportation Capital Investment
Public Transportation
Data Management and Security
Non-motorized Transportation
9
What Impacts Will AV have?
During the workshops, a few of
New data collection and
many impacts we heard:
scenario planning will be
needed to understand
Transportation
capacity impacts and
Planning impacts on mode choice
Need to address
modeling needs,
Modeling and
Need to plan for
data and adapt
Forecasting
‘mixed fleet’
assumptions
environments with
traditional cars and
Fleet Management

Potential for more sprawl or
Land Use more density, and potential
ROW reallocation
