Challenges to CV and AV Applications in Truck Freight Operations

This report documents one of a suite of research projects addressing outstanding issues around connected and automated vehicle (CV/AV) technologies, with particular emphasis on the research, planning and resolutions at state and local transportation agencies needed to evaluate and, where applicable, facilitate successful deployments. This particular project had a modal focus on heavy trucking. The report identifies existing and emerging freight regulatory, planning, policy, and operational environments and challenges for connected and autonomous truck technologies. The report examines barriers and opportunities that the public and private sector may face when implementing these technologies in freight operations. In addition, the report explores next steps for addressing the challenges for deployment and adoption.
