Project Objectives
The objectives of this project are to:
- Conduct a literature review of research focused on Automated Driving Systems (ADS);
- Analyze existing policy, legal, and regulatory issues to overcome anticipated barriers to multi-state ADS operations;
- Recommend coordinated steps for the NE States to take in consideration of the operations of vehicles on the roadway transitioning from human driven to ADS operated;
- Develop recommendations towards facilitating testing and deployment of ADS-equipped vehicles operating in multiple states or traveling across state lines; and
- Support the development of policy, legal, and regulatory approaches that inform national and other regional ADS efforts.
