Overview
Early research and deployment in connected and automated vehicle (CAV) systems can provide a variety of benefits. Such efforts are taking place throughout the world (especially in the United States, Europe, and Asia). This study highlights major CAV deployment efforts throughout the world and evaluates important factors for successful deployment. Using information gathered from interviews and electronic searches, the authors determined common and contrasting themes, drivers of success, types of technology tested or deployed, and other factors to document lessons learned. By examining how CAV technology is being developed, tested, and deployed around the world, the authors identify best practices that will allow transportation agencies to strengthen their own CAV programs.
