Strategy for Connected & Automated Vehicles

 

About

The nature of transportation is evolving quickly. Practically every new vehicle sold in the US is equipped with one or more advanced driver assistance systems, such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warnings, and automatic emergency braking. Some vehicles partially automate driving tasks. Safely accommodating connected and automated vehicles (CAV) on the state’s roadways requires the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) to adopt a responsive and dynamic posture. The agency’s CAV Working Group — guided by the strategy presented here — engages Cabinet partners to develop and implement strategies that will prepare the state’s infrastructure for large-scale CAV deployment.
