Connected Vehicle
Communicates with nearby
vehicles and infrastructure
Autonomous Vehicle
Operates in isolation from other
vehicles using internal sensors

Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)
Vehicles communicating with each other
Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I)
Vehicles communicating with infrastructure
Vehicle to Everything Technology (V2X)
Vehicles communicating to all technologies
Connected Automated Vehicle
Leverages autonomous and connected
vehicle capabilities

CAV Benefits
7
Improves overall quality of life for our communities
Safety
• Human error accounts for 90% of motor vehicle accidents
• 33,000 fatalities; 2 million injuries = $300 billion human capital
• CAV could save approximately 1.3 million crashes, $202 billion annually
Environmental
• Cars use about 2 billion barrels of oil each year
• Automation reduces or eliminates inefficient human driving habits
• Fuel economy improvements of 50%+
• Lower vehicle carbon emissions by 90%+
• “Platooning” vehicles reduce air resistance, improves fuel efficiency
Mobility
• Average American spends 40 hours stuck in traffic per year
• Urban congestion costs $121 billion each year
• Enable elderly people with disabilities to easily commute or rideshare

The Role of ITS
11
© Arcadis 2015
Smaller Road Footprint
Vehicles may travel closer together
Roads can have narrower lanes
Traffic to be spread across more roads for efficiency
Costs of road maintenance may decline
12
Consideration: Will usage of roads increase?
© Arcadis 2015
CAV and Marking, Signal & Striping
Less need for dynamic message signs, traffic sensors,
closed circuit cameras or even conventional signage
New systems will communicate through dedicated short
range communications (DSRC) or cellular networks
13
Consideration: What happens if network failures occur?
© Arcadis 2015
Parking Structure & Lots
14
Minimal need for parking structures and lots
Open up 5.7 billion square meters for land development
New wave of adaptive reuse of land
Lots to be built underground
Consideration: Will people want to own cars?
© Arcadis 2015
No Driver Zones
15
Re-planning road use for driverless-only routes
• Ongoing pilots in Tampa and NYC
Consideration: How will cities roll-out zones at the same time?
© Arcadis 2015
Transit
16
Authorities may save on long-term operating costs
Impact on ridership; increase vs decrease
• Improved first mile and last mile commuting
Shift in how Uber and Lyft could be used
Consideration: Will communities still use buses, rail?
© Arcadis 2015
Consideration: Cyber security measures to be priority.
17
Information Highway
Big data will sky-rocket
Improved data can help transportation planners
Models can be developed to reduce bottlenecks
and hazards
Need for more fiber and cell networks, 5G
Developing the Roadmap
© Arcadis 2015
Proactive Planning is Imperative
19
Why should DOTs care about this now?
Put policies, regulations in
place to protect the
safety of our citizens
Balance current
infrastructure challenges with future
needs
Provide improved
mobility for our people
Determine economic
impact of CAV on cities
Stay up-to-date on
technology – don’t get left
behind

Federal Automated Vehicles Policy
20
Published by US DOT & NHTSA – September 2016
Accelerate adoption of AV, ensure safety:
Vehicle Performance Guidance for
Automated Vehicles
Safe pre-deployment design, development and testing of HAVs
prior to commercial sale or operation on public roads
Model State Policy
States retain traditional
responsibilities for vehicle licensing and registration, traffic laws and enforcement, insurance and
liability
NHTSA’s Current Regulatory Tools
NHTSA has the authority to identify safety defects, and can recall vehicles or equipment that
pose unreasonable safety risks
New Tools and Authorities
Potential tools for authorities to aid in
the safe and appropriately expeditious
deployment of new technologies
© Arcadis 2015
Future Policies
21
U.S. DOT establishing Advisory Committee on Automation in Transportation to help frame federal policy on AV deployment
• Committee is currently seeking 15 individuals to serve on the Committee to serve 2-year terms
Rule pending at the Office of Management and Budget on a
vehicle-to-vehicle communications standard
