Todays new vehicles come with basic automation features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-Keep Assist. Are our roads ready to support these capabilities and others that will be added to future vehicles? UDOT performed a Readiness Study to provide insight into that question, specifically focused on the adequacy of our pavement stripes.

In Partnership with 

UDOT, in partnership with Panasonic, is working towards implementing a statewide system for collecting, monitoring, using and protecting connected vehicles (CV) data to develop the most advanced transportation data network in the nation.

The Utah Smart Transit Signal Priority (TSP) project uses connected vehicle (CV) technology to enable conditional priority of transit vehicles at traffic signals, with the objective of improving the reliability of Utah Transit Authority bus service while optimising available green time at intersections.

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has awarded UDOT a grant to gather real-time data from active work zones and publish that data to the public. Providing real-time information about dynamic roadway conditions – such as work zones – can help humans and vehicles under automated operation navigate work zones more safely and efficiently.

UDOT, in partnership with the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), has deployed the Automated Shuttle Pilot in Utah. This pilot project gave the public its first interaction with a completely automated vehicle (AV).
