Benefits Estimation Model for Automated Vehicle Operations: Phase 2 Final Report

Automated vehicles have the potential to bring about transformative safety, mobility, energy, and environmental benefits to the surface transportation system. They are also being introduced into a complex transportation system, where second-order impacts, such as the possibility of increased vehicle-miles traveled, are of significant concern. Given the complexity of the impacts, a modeling framework is needed to ensure that they are adequately captured. This report updates the Framework from the August 2015 report and the June 2016 interim report, and summarizes the safety, mobility, energy/emissions, and travel behavior (user response) modeling that has been performed during FY 2017.
