Abstract

INDOT will soon be embarking on infrastructure planning to accommodate autonomous vehicles. This new technology affords the ability to impact economic value creation across the supply chain in Indiana, as well as foster economic development in Indiana to support these emerging technologies. This proposal will be a first cut towards exploring the development of a strategy to realize this potential. Our proposal will consist of two phases.

Phase 1: A focus on industry choices and plans that can inform INDOT choices.

Phase 2: A focus on INDOT’s internal decision making, risk tolerance, and choices regarding infrastructure projects.
