Planning for the Advent of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles in Champaign-Urbana Using Scenario Planning

This project attempts to create a descriptive Scenario Planning framework for addressing the advent of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in the Champaign-Urbana region. This project aims to provide narratives of and recommendations for four distinctive scenarios that can occur because of internal responses by stakeholders to exogenous forces associated with the adoption and proliferation of CAV technologies in the region in the future. It delivers a starting point for a subject-oriented addition of CAVs to the planning efforts underway to develop the Long-Range Transportation Plan for 2045 by the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission.Champaign County Regional Planning CommissionOpe
