5.3.3 Innovation
We are entering a time when advanced computing, sensors, and
telecommunications technology are transforming automobile and
road-based surface transportation. With these advancements come
important policy, legal, investment, and research decisions that
governments must consider. As connected and automated vehicle
(CAV) advancements expand daily and are introduced into existing
transportation systems, certain questions become increasingly
pertinent: Is Alabama ready? Can we address safety regulations while
simultaneously leveraging opportunity? Can we prepare our
workforce, the legal community, and the public for shifts in how the
transportation network is used and how mobility is supplied? It is
critical that these changes are diligent to protect the safety of the
public while maintaining a certain level of flexibility that allows Example of connected vehicle technology
innovation and business growth for Alabama. Safety should remain Source: U.S. Department of Transportation
paramount in these discussions. It is critical that ALDOT continue to
protect the safety of the public while maintaining a certain level of
flexibility to allow transportation innovation and business growth for Alabama.
In addition to CAV, emerging technology advancements are imminent in Smart City and Internet of Things
applications, Big Data processing and automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and others.
It is expected that all these innovations will offer significant opportunities to improve and change the way
we travel.
