Research Roadmap for Advancing Technologies in Transportation Infrastructure
"Developed by a panel of experts, this project focuses on identifying open issues and research needs in transportation infrastructure. Over 100 unresolved questions related to policy, planning, modal apps, and infrastructure were prioritized and consolidated into research projects to create a structured roadmap for future activities. Institutional and policy aspects, including business models and public policy actions, are also explored. The project aims to bridge gaps and provide valuable insights for state and local agencies in advancing technology deployment in transportation."

PROJECT MOTIVATION 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 2
Project Panel Members Project Panel Members John Corbin, FHWA Shelley Row, consultant Mark Kopko, Pennsylvania DOT Matthew Smith, Michigan DOT Melissa Lance, Virginia DOT Bob Arnold, USDOT Greg Larson, Caltrans Joe Peters, FHWA TFHRC Blaine Leonard, Utah DOT Kevin Dopart, USDOT Siva Narla, ITE Gummada Murthy, AASHTO Ryan Rice, Colorado DOT Jim Wright, AASHTO 3
PROJECT OVERVIEW 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 4
UNRESOLVED ISSUES FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES UNRESOLVED ISSUES FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES Over 100 research questions Policy Planning Modal Apps Infrastructure 5
PANEL VOTING ON IMPORTANCE OF ISSUES 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 6
INSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY 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) 7
INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN/OPERATIONS 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 8
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING 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 9
MODAL APPLICATIONS 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 10
FUNDING FUNDING $15 M+ projects identified $5 M NCHRP ($1 M 2015) Need to seek synergy with other programs USDOT ITS JPO FHWA Offices of Operations, Safety, Policy CV Pooled Fund Studies Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center AASHTO TSM&O Research and NOCoE Department of Energy (ARPA-e) TCRP, NCFRP 13
ROADMAP MAINTENANCE ROADMAP MAINTENANCE AV/CV technologies and issues evolving quickly Ownership: NCHRP 20-102 panel Allocation of projects to programs Collaboration and coordination of stakeholders Yearly process of review and adjustment Aligned with TRB Annual Meeting and summer TRB/AUVSI automation symposium 14
Step WHAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 Review AV/CV roadmap RNS/RPS and new ideas Maintain 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 ROADMAP MAINTENANCE ROADMAP MAINTENANCE WHO from FHWA, DOT, V2I coalition liaisons as appropriate 20-102 panel; oversight 20-102 panel, in consultation with other funding partners 20-102 panel with support from AV/CV subcommittee of 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 Impacts of transit regulations on AV/CV tech introduction TSM&O research task force WHEN TRB/AUVSI Automated Vehicles Symposium Impacts of AV/CV applications in long-haul freight TRB Annual Meeting Mid-February 1 month prior to TRB/AUVSI Automated Vehicles Symposium By Sept 15 of each year (for 20-102 projects), other funding agencies have different schedules November each year Benefit/cost analysis of AV transit systems 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 HOW 15
NEXT STEPS 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 16
