Public-Private Framework for Successful AV Deployment
Public-private collaborations have the potential to maximize the benefits of automated vehicle (AV) deployment while reducing risks and improving the likelihood that the technology serves the needs of communities. Successful AV deployment can offer transformative opportunities to enhance safety, mobility, connectivity, and quality of life for communities, paving the way for a more sustainable and inclusive transportation future. The ITS America Standing Committee on Automated Vehicles developed this document to provide considerations for engaging in successful partnerships and collaboration to support all potential partners, including technology developers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), operators interested in deploying AVs on public roads, and public agencies seeking to research and deploy AVs, as well as the communities in which they deploy. This Framework provides an overview on considerations related to establishing public-private collaboration, defining AV deployment success, planning and implementation from concept to deployment, conducting effective outreach and engagement, and reviewing lessons learned.
