TRB BRIEFING TO MINNESOTA GOVERNOR S ADVISORY COUNCIL ON CONNECTED AND AUTOMATED VEHICLES Connected and Automated Vehicles: Current and Future Issues for Consideration Neil Pedersen, TRB Executive Director May 30, 2018

Transportation Research Board Advise Convene Research Ad hoc consensus policy studies Since 1983 Future of the Interstate Highway System at Annual Meeting (13,700+) Webinars (25,000+) Conferences 220 standing technical committees Cooperative Research Programs (highways, transit, airports) Strategic research programs at Critical Issues: Transformational Technologies; Resilience, Public Health Dissemination: Bibliographic database; Peer reviewed journal, E-Newsletter

An automated vehicle is one that takes control of some or all aspects of driving tasks

Five Levels of Automation

Internal devices connect vehicles to other vehicles, to infrastructure, to the cloud, and to other road users Provides driver alerts but does not control the operation of the vehicle

Electric Vehicles (EV) Economics and GHG policies worldwide will increase the # of EVs dramatically Autonomous vehicles being developed on an EV platform

Shared Mobility Services Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft Other innovative shared mobility services including carsharing, bikesharing and microtransit

Shared Autonomous Vehicles (SAV) SAVs are ondemand selfdriving vehicles that operate as part of a privately or publicly managed fleet

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Almost all examples of MaaS include two elements: A single account that is used to access and pay for a range of public and private travel options across multiple modes, and A real time journey planner that provides information on what multi-modal travel options are available to go from origin to destination, so the traveler can choose which option best needs their travel time and cost requirements.

Other Types of AVs Driverless shuttles New campus designs First mile-last mile service Automated buses on separate transit ways Narrow right of way easier to fit in corridors Heavy truck platooning in dedicated lanes Cost savings Fuel/emissions reductions

Three Revolutions, Daniel Sperling Research-based insights and public policy discussion of the convergence of new shared mobility services with automated and electric vehicles

TRB Report on Policy Strategies NCHRP Report 845: Strategies to Advance Automated and Connected Vehicles: A Primer for State and Local Decision Makers

What Should State and Local Governments Do? State, regional and local governments use policy levers. to ensure safe and efficient operation of public roadways to foster equity across users of the system to mitigate negative effects of transportation For automated vehicles (AV),connected vehicles (CV), electric vehicles (EV), and shared vehicles, a range of policy levers could influence private choices toward outcomes that would benefit society Credit: NCHRP Report 845

USDOT Policy Guidance USDOT retains regulatory role for vehicles States retain traditional regulatory roles: Licensing drivers Registering /licensing vehicles Enacting and enforcing traffic laws Regulating insurance

Traffic Crashes Congestion Pollution Land Development Mobility Credit: NCHRP Report 845

DESIRED OUTCOMES Strategic Goals Mitigate safety risks. Encourage shared AV use. Address liability issues that may affect market development. Enhance safety, congestion and air quality benefits by influencing market demand Relevant Policy and Planning Strategies

OUTCOME: To mitigate safety risks through testing, training and public education Enact legislation to legalize AV testing Enact legislation to stimulate CV or AV testing Modify driver training standards and curricula Increase public awareness OUTCOME: To encourage shared AV use (and mitigate increased VMT and vehicle emissions): Subsidize SAV use Implement transit benefits Implement a parking cash-out strategy Implement location-efficient mortgages Implement land use policies and parking requirements Apply road use charging OUTCOME: To address liability issues that may impact market development: Implement a no-fault insurance approach Require motorists to carry more insurance OUTCOME: To enhance safety, congestion, and air quality benefits by influencing market demand: Subsidize CV- equipped vehicles Invest in CV infrastructure Grant AV- and CV-equipped vehicles privileged access to dedicated lanes Grant signal priority to AV- and CVequipped vehicles Grant parking access to AV- and CVequipped vehicles Implement new contractual mechanisms with private service providers Credit: NCHRP Report 845

Critical Considerations Cyber security Ethical considerations Liability Personal negligence? Product liability? Who owns? Business models: The shape of the market (buyers, sellers, suppliers) Supporting infrastructure investment Public understanding and acceptance Credit: Gary Euler 26

Land Use: sprawl or urbanization? Fewer Accidents Lower insurance rates? Lower medical costs? The Economy Lost jobs? Changing nature? The shape of the industry (Ford/Argo, Uber/Toyota) More disposable income? Licensing, enforcement and inspections Transportation funding Gas tax as a prime source Parking revenue Credit: Gary Euler

A Broad Range of Potential Outcomes U.S. DOE 30-Year Scenarios ( Transforming the Mobility Ecosystem, 2017)

Issues to Consider Based on Experience of Other States Legislation regarding testing vs. executive orders Testing at off-road proving grounds vs. on road testing Extent of regulatory requirements (safety driver, reporting requirements, data sharing) vs. laissez-faire approach Partnering with OEMs and tech companies

Issues to Consider Based on Experience of Other States Type of automation to focus on (automated cars, truck platooning, driverless transit) Preparing CV infrastructure (CV ready traffic signals, imbedded sensors) Changes to vehicle codes Insurance requirements Seeking federal funds for pilots

Issues to Consider Based on Experience of Other States Public education and managing public expectations Policies to encourage shared autonomous vehicles Policies to encourage electric vehicles Participate in national cooperative efforts (e.g. Cooperative Automated Transportation (CAT) Coalition)

Longer Term Issues to Consider Impacts on jobs that depend on human drivers (truck, taxi, and bus drivers) Equity issues (disabled, economically disadvantaged) Land use impacts Congestion management Mix of AVs and human driven vehicles Integrating SAVs with transit

SAEVs Have the Potential to Generate Social and Health Benefits if Smart Policies Are Adopted More mobility choices First-mile & last-mile solutions Access & independence for underserved populations More efficient than paratransit services Access to health care Reduce congestion & emissions Removing drunk drivers Reduce household transportation costs Opportunities to earn extra income *Shared Mobility Center

Connected Vehicle Pilots 5/29/2018 43

Public Perception on AV 1. Are U.S. drivers comfortable with the idea of riding in a selfdriving car? 2. Are U.S. drivers comfortable with the idea of sharing the road with a self-driving car? 3. Do U.S. drivers want semiautonomous technologies in their next vehicle? 44
