MnDOT is researching and piloting connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology that will help the state prepare for future transportation needs in Minnesota.The below list highlights some of the top projects completed by the MnDOT CAV team in the last few years. Each project has a link to a separate project page that includes detailed project information and a project summary document.
Project Description: The Community Driven CAV project piloted a process to start with the community to identify transportation challenges and then work together to identify potential CAV solutions to those challenges. This work resulted in potential demonstration concepts for the Creative Enterprise Zone and a Community-Driven Planning Framework, which can be used by others looking to do community led planning.
Project Completion Date: June 2024
Project Description: The Fiber Optic Feasibility and Partnership Study aimed to develop a strategic plan for future fiber connectivity by utilizing public-private partnerships.
Project Completion Date: February 2022
Project Description: Automated vehicles (AVs) rely heavily on roadway infrastructure to function. This project used technology-equipped research vehicles to drive over 1,000 miles of Minnesota roadways to gain a better understanding of potential infrastructure issues that would inhibit the operations of AVs.
Project Completion Date: January 2023
