SPR-4123: Strategic and Tactical Guidance for the Connected and Autonomous Vehcicle Future Project Details Duration 01/2017 - 06/2018 Sponsor INDOT - Indiana Department of Transportation Investigator(s) Satish Ukkusuri, Purdue University (Principal Investigator) Summary Automated vehicle (AV) and Connected vehicle (CV) technologies are rapidly maturing and the timeline for their wider deployment is currently uncertain. The objectives of this research are: (1) Synthesize the existing state of practice and how other state agencies are addressing the pending transition to AV/CV environment; (2) Estimate the impacts of AV/CV environment within the context of (i) traffic operations – impact of headway distribution and traffic signal coordination; (ii) Traffic control devices and (iii) roadway safety in terms of intersection crashes and (3) provide a strategic roadmap for INDOT in preparing for and responding to potential issues. |
