Making CAV Deployments Compatible with Complete Streets Objectives
The primary question motivating this research effort is how to design and operate complete streets that accommodate both the requirement of flow efficiency achievable through connectivity, automation and shared autonomous mobility services with the aspirations for equitable access to micromobility and human-scale urban spaces. The main objectives include (1) develop component models that comprise the multi-dimensional interactions taking place in a Complete Street environment with added CAVs; (2) obtain data on the more vulnerable (and under-represented) user categories, especially bicycling and micromobility; and (3) integrate components in simulation framework and perform initial prototype testing.
