Abstract

Carnegie Mellon and its University Transportation Center partner institutions (Community College of Allegheny County, The Ohio State University, and the University of Pennsylvania) have a variety of research projects underway or completed on a diverse set of topics.  Individual researchers publish research results and transfer technology for their individual projects.
This research project is intended to track disruptive technologies impacting transportation, assess a variety of policy alternatives and to synthesis research results from the full range of CMU and partner research efforts to inform smart mobility policy.  It is also intended to identify new research opportunities for smart mobility work.      
Description
The research work is conducted through a variety of activities:
•	Meetings with civic and business leaders and government policy makers to discuss transportation challenges and advise on applicable smart mobility policies.  These meetings include southwestern Pennsylvania, state, regional, national and international leaders and policy makers.   
•	Presentations and publications providing policy analyses of smart mobility alternatives, such as connected and automated vehicle policies or multi-modal operational policies.
•	Active participation in policy-making groups such as the Pennsylvania Autonomous Vehicle Policy Task Force, Smart Belt Coalition, The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure and the Oakland Task Force.
•	Interaction with researchers at Carnegie Mellon and elsewhere to identify new opportunities for research and transportation policy improvement.  Included in this activity is participation in national organizations such as Transportation Research Board Executive Committee and the Leadership Circle of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America.
•	Research national and international disruptive transportation technology trends and associated policies.  Synthesize and disseminate this information through the Traffic21/UTC blog, social media and industry recognized Smart Transportation Dispatch weekly email newsletter.  Provide quotes and articles related to this research to national social and traditional media outlets.  
Timeline
Continuous research from July 2019 through June 2020

Deployment Plan
See detailed description above.
Expected Outcomes/Impacts
Metrics of meetings with stakeholders will be tracked as well as data from distribution of research synthesis results through event and social and traditional media sources.  Impacts of policy adoption as a direct result of research synthesis will also be tracked, recorded and disseminated on the UTC website.
