Forum on Preparing for Automated Vehicles and Shared Mobility Services
From 2018 to 2023, the objective of this Forum was to bring together public, private, and research organizational partners to share perspectives on critical issues surrounding the deployment of automated vehicles and shared mobility. Members discussed, identified, and facilitated fact-based research needed to know how and when to deploy these technologies to best meet long-term goals. These goals include increasing safety, reducing congestion, enhancing accessibility, increasing environmental and energy sustainability, and encouraging economic development and equity. Starting in 2024, these activities and goals will be addressed as part of TRB’s ongoing conferences and standing technical committee activities.
