Florida DOT Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Initiative

Recognizing the industry is moving beyond testing and development and into full scale deployment, the Florida Department of Transportation is prioritizing the safety and mobility potential of connected and automated vehicles. FDOT is working on planning, development and deployment activities across all modes, including passenger vehicle, transit, freight, bicycle and pedestrians.

Efforts include the delivery of a CAV Business Plan to help fund project development and implementation. Realizing the value of harnessed data, HNTB is helping facilitate collaboration on integration of CAV into the fabric of all departments within FDOT as well as local agencies. Activities include the management of research projects associated with policy implications as well as mobility applications for aging populations.

HNTB also led pilot projects associated with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and development of projects involving attenuator trucks for improved work zone safety, smart truck parking, truck platooning, public outreach and education and performance monitoring applications.
