Abstract

ABSTRACT Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are rapidly emerging in United States cities, leaving urban and regional planning institutions unsure how to plan and develop policies. This paper analyzes how regional transportation plans (RTPs) developed by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are approaching the risks and opportunities presented by AVs. Among 52 MPOs, a majority only mention key issues and emphasize high levels of uncertainty. Twelve MPOs develop policies on infrastructure, safety, partnerships, data-sharing, and multimodal transportation. Despite a positive trend, many recently adopted RTPs do not incorporate AVs. To plan for uncertain mobility futures, MPOs must develop more flexible approaches to long-term infrastructure investment.

美国都市规划组织(mpo)自动驾驶汽车的规划和政策方向

自动驾驶汽车(AVs)在美国城市迅速兴起，城市和区域规划机构不确定如何规划和制定政策。本文分析了城市规划组织(mpo)制定的区域交通规划(rtp)如何接近自动驾驶汽车带来的风险和机遇。在52个mpo中，大多数只提到关键问题，并强调高度的不确定性。12个mpo制定了有关基础设施、安全、伙伴关系、数据共享和多式联运的政策。尽管这是一个积极的趋势，但许多最近采用的rtp并不包含自动驾驶。为了规划不确定的移动出行未来，mpo必须制定更灵活的长期基础设施投资方法。

The journal"s mission is to open a conversation between specialists and non-specialists (or among practitioners of different specialities) and is designed for both scholars and a general audience whose businesses, occupations, professions, or studies require that they become aware of the effects of new technologies on urban environments.
