... Pilot and Implementation Framework 79   problem identification and collaboration. Interviewers can gain a sense of what problems or needs are most urgent by identifying • Opportunities and challenges within a community, • Common characteristics and themes across agencies and stakeholders, and • Possible strategies for public agencies to develop and implement.

... 80 Shared Automated Vehicle Toolkit: Policies and Planning Considerations for Implementation The expert interview process and the problem statement process inform the next phase of this framework. In Phase 2, the top five problem statements are employed to define the CoP and the topics for MOD and AV deep dives (these serve as learning exchanges for public agencies)

... 82 Shared Automated Vehicle Toolkit: Policies and Planning Considerations for Implementation Step 2: Map Pilots Based on Implementation Scales As part of the MOD and AV project planning process, public agencies and private-sector stakeholders need to determine the type of pilot scale they are targeting. MOD and AV pilot projects can be organized by their scale of focus: • Neighborhood: Local needs and contexts.

... Pilot and Implementation Framework 83   goals for this pilot could include reducing collisions around transit stations, improving the geographic distribution of traveler origins and destinations, and reducing overall travel times. Figure 26 illustrates how Steps 3 through 7 of Phase 3 would treat these goals separately.
From page 84...
... 84 Shared Automated Vehicle Toolkit: Policies and Planning Considerations for Implementation Due to the multidisciplinary nature of MOD and AV projects, this toolkit cannot identify all metrics across all MOD and AV impact areas required for performance monitoring. Performance metrics that are comparable with other MOD and AV pilots can help facilitate multidisciplinary comparisons across MOD and AV projects.

... Pilot and Implementation Framework 85   • User activity data, • Vehicle activity data, and • VMT estimates for regions, states, and the nation. Step 7: Define Methods of Analysis This step defines the methodologies that will guide data analysis.
From page 86...
... 86 Shared Automated Vehicle Toolkit: Policies and Planning Considerations for Implementation Data Standards, Privacy, and Management (Continued) Because AVs and MOD generate a lot of technical and user data, data management is also becoming increasingly important.

... Pilot and Implementation Framework 87   Key Takeaways • This framework for MOD and AV pilot planning, implementation, and evaluation can help public agencies – Identify and understand community problems, – Engage and collaborate with stakeholders, and – Experiment with pilot strategies. • The framework consists of three phases: – Phase 1 includes an initial assessment with stakeholders, application of design thinking to problems, and problem statement development to understand community concerns.
