Title:

Safety in the Connected and Automated Vehicle Era: A U.S. Perspective on Research Needs

Accession Number:

01697802

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

With crashes costing the U.S. nearly $1 trillion in death, injury, and property damage annually, transportation safety is of profound concern to planners, engineers, and public health professionals. The benefits promised by champions of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) include enhanced safety and dramatically lower incidence of crashes, effected primarily through reduction or elimination of the human driving errors that contribute to over 90% of crashes. The authors discuss dominant transportation safety concepts in light of the approaching transition to CAVs, first reviewing the literature, then performing text analysis on research papers in the CAVs/safety realm, to articulate research questions that merit consideration, and advance debate and research on safety impacts of CAV technologies.
