AECOM has developed a process and digital tool to assess the deployment readiness of roadways for automated vehicles, which has been applied to over 8,000 miles across the United States, Canada, and Asia. This tool, named AV-Readi(TM), was used to assess two corridors in Detroit (Jefferson and Livernois Avenues) to understand the locations, type, and severity of challenges in deploying AVs. This process discretizes a proposed route into separate segments, which are defined by changes in the environment that are likely to require an ADS to evaluate a change in its behavior.
The tool has also been used to analyze roads before they were built. For a client in an urban environment in Asia, we analyzed new roads to see if they are well suited for supporting the use of automated buses to promote transit near airports. This presentation will walk through the tool/analysis and present the case studies of several uses of AV-Readi(TM).
