TRB Providing Policy Advice

Informing Policy-Makers on Research Needs

Connected/Automated Vehicles: What Have We Learned?

Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies Source: Gartner, Inc.

Automated Vehicles: When?

Connected or Autonomous? Something everywhere vs. everything somewhere

Safety Outlook?

Congestion?

Energy & Environment Impacts? +200% Potential Impact of Automated Vehicles on Energy Consumption & Emissions by 2050 (U.S. DOE – July 2016) -90%

Traffic Control Devices?

Growing Number of States Using UAVs (Drones) AASHTO March 2016 Survey 17 State DOTs researched and/or use drones Bridge inspections Surveying & aerial photography Mitigating landslide risks Benefits: Better data Save time, reduced costs, increased safety, reduced congestion
