 2018 FLORIDA AUTOMATED VEHICLES SUMMIT

The Florida Department of Transportation, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority,

and the USF Center for Urban Transportation Research
invite you to participate in the 2018 Florida Automated Vehicles (FAV) Summit
on November 27 and 28, 2018.

Florida’s leaders have been at the forefront of recognizing the profound impacts of automated vehicle
technologies on the existing transportation network and its supporting infrastructure. Political and governmental
support facilitates Florida as a proving ground for these emerging mobility solutions.

Nationally-recognized experts are being called upon to discuss the state of the industry, early implementation
opportunities, and challenges to be addressed to successfully integrate automated vehicles within the existing
transportation network and to proactively engage the industry and stakeholders in understanding the impacts that
these technologies will have in real-world conditions.

This year’s FAV Summit will focus on four areas of mobility: Automated, Connected, Electric, and Shared
vehicles.

Work Zone Site Location
Description of study site:
The work zone is located on I-44 between Antire Rd
and Lewis Rd, Missouri. There were no alternative
routes. A long-term work zone with one lane out of
three lanes closed in both directions. Only the east
bound traffic considered for the study.

The results obtained from the GEH formula was
desirable and less than five which showed that the
model was acceptable fit.
Modeling CAVs in VISSIM
The simulation of CAVs driver behaviors within
VISSIM was based on the assumptions from a
previous study(4). The VISSIM Wiedemann 99
driver parameters were adjusted to implement the
presence of CAVs in the model.

Travel Time Results Findings
Figure 2 1. Based on the representation of CAVs used in this
study, the result showed a positive effect of AV on
traffic performance. Drivers will experience
significant decrease in travel time when CAVs
account for a 10% to 90% the traffic.
2. Travel time improvement was considered for the
peak periods where demand was high. Figure 3 shows
that there was a constant improvement of travel time
till 70% CAV market penetration.
3. The analysis of the results showed that there is
effective improvement of traffic congestion when the
Figure 3
market penetrations of CAVs increase.
4. From 70% to 90% penetrations, the CAVs did not
further cause a reduction in travel time.
5. At the different market penetrations of CAVs, the
values for conflicts were lower as the market
penetration of CAV increased.
6. At 10% MPR, there was a 43% decrease in the total
number of conflicts, while at 20% MPR, the decrease
in total conflicts was about 70%.
7. There is an indication that the CAVs are safer than
the conventional vehicles when the traffic demand is
high, especially as the percentage of the CAVs

Future Research Agenda
1. Incorporate connections such as V2I and V2V for
both autonomous and conventional vehicles.
2.Consider using field data from different
construction work zones in Florida State.
3. Analyze more complex networks and a diversity of
work zone configurations.
4. Expand the scope of the network,
