Impacts of Connected Vehicles and Automated Vehicles on State and Local Transportation Agencies--Task-Order Support. Preparing Transportation Agencies for Connected and Automated Vehicles in Work Zones

To help transportation agencies prepare for connected and automated vehicles in work zones, the objectives of this project were to: (1) Identify technical needs and potential impacts of CAVs in work zones; (2) Document deployed and planned practices for CAVs in work zones; (3) Evaluate the qualitative and quantitative benefits of these practices, e.g., return on investment and improved safety, mobility,anduser/workerawareness; (4) Identify research needed for addressing gaps in implementing various CAV practices; and (5) Educate stakeholders on research findings through webinars and other materials.
