Automated Vehicles Symposium
As autonomous vehicle (AV) technology advances closer to our everyday reality, transportation planning organizations across the US are collecting data about residentsā attitudes toward these new technologies to inform long-range planning. The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (Jacksonville, FL region) conducted two surveys in 2017-2018 that collected attitudinal AV data from a combined 10,121 respondents.Ā RSG's Michelle Lee and Abigail Rosenson will share the results of those findings, particularly as they relate to resident demographics, at the Automated Vehicles Symposium, from July 15-18 in Orlando, Florida.
The event convenes industry, government, and academia from around the world to address complex technology, operations, and policy issues. Sponsored by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Automated Vehicles Symposium is the largest dedicated automated vehicles meeting in the world.
