Planning Multimodal Networks in a Connected and Automated Vehicle Future

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-19-0069
Project Abstract:

This project examines how current pedestrian and bicycle network planning and project development needs will change as connected vehicle (CV) and automated vehicle (AV) technologies are deployed. The contractor will produce a concise synthesis to help State departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, local transportation agencies, and the general public (including pedestrians, bicyclists, and people with disabilities) understand the potential benefits and impacts of CV and AV technologies on nonmotorized transportation. This report will also help inform future research on considerations for CV/AV integration with nonmotorized transportation, and describe possible scenarios for future multimodal network development. The basis for the study will be information from a literature review and interviews with experts that the contractor will conduct. A workshop will convene experts and stakeholders to discuss various deployment scenarios on CV/AV interaction with nonmotorized users.
