AV Readiness Assessment

Technology is not only changing the way we move, but also how we think about moving. This shift brings uncertainty—communities are working to understand and prepare for the future of mobility. Central to this effort is gaining an understanding of how ready a community is to embrace and adopt smart mobility advancements.

Stantec and Vanderbilt University have developed the Smart Mobility Readiness Assessment Tool to help communities evaluate their level of readiness for an automated vehicle (AV) future. The tool evaluates several categories to determine a community’s smart mobility readiness or maturity including diversity, equity, safety, and the environment; system efficiencies; travel demand management and access to travel information; data sharing and privacy; interoperability and communications across and between modal networks and communities; and planning and governance.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to AV or smart mobility readiness—every community has its own needs and challenges. We’re here to help you figure out where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there.
