NCHRP Implementation Support Program. NCHRP 20-44(59) [RFP]. Using Information from CAVs To Enhance Freeway Operational Strategies

NCHRP Research Report 1080: Using Cooperative Automated Transportation Data for Freeway Operational Strategies, explores how the data exchange between transportation management systems (TMSs) and cooperative automated transportation (CAT) networks can optimize freeway operations. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of how TMSs can harness data from connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to enhance safety and efficiency. It evaluates key traffic management strategies that benefit from CAV data integration and offers practical guidance for state departments of transportation (DOTs), including assessment methodologies, implementation considerations, and technical documentation featuring algorithms and simulation models. This resource is invaluable for practitioners and researchers seeking to refine traffic management strategies using CAV data. With the transformative potential of this research, there is a critical opportunity to support the adoption of NCHRP Research Report 1080. Facilitating knowledge transfer, delivering actionable guidance, and empowering state DOTs to incorporate CAV data into freeway management strategies will be key to modernizing transportation systems and improving roadway performance. OBJECTIVE: The objective of NCHRP Project 20-44(59) is to accelerate the adoption of findings from NCHRP Research Report 1080 by conducting targeted engagement and supporting pilot state DOTs to implement strategies that leverage CAV data to enhance freeway operations.
