Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Technology: Determining the Impact on State DOT Maintenance Programs
Traffic control devices,
markings, signals, guardrail, computing systems, communications infrastructure, and other permanent
and temporary devices will likely each be affected by the operation of
connected and
autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology. State departments of transportation (DOTs) need to identify
gaps in knowledge and skills and prepare for the challenges of CAV implementation while maintaining
the existing roadway system at an acceptable level of service.
NCHRP Research Report 1084: Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Technology: Determining the Impact on
State DOT Maintenance Programs,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
provides an overview of how the implementation of CAV technology will likely impact the state of
practice for maintenance
programs within state DOTs.
Supplemental to the report are an
Implementation Memo and a
PowerPoint Presentation.
