A Roadmap for the Future
IAM is pioneering what is becoming the national playbook for a safe and scalable transition to automated vehicles. The consortium brings together experts from the private industry, government and academia. With a strategic, forward-thinking roadmap, IAM provides the technical guidance and coordination to deploy automation to significantly increase safety and efficiency.
Arizona:
A Statewide, Real World Laboratory
Arizona is globally recognized as a hub for innovation and emerging technology. IAM members collaborate to drive the research and development of automated mobility in Arizona and beyond.
Featured Projects
DRIVE ArizonaThe DRIVE Arizona project aims to build on the successful ADOT-MAG-Verizon Pilot to determine the viability of cellular technology to increase safety for the local community.
Working with the transportation community and municipalities, IAM has defined metrics for operational safety assessment and is constructing cost efficient methodologies for measurement.
Enabled by artificial intelligence, IAM is exploring how to use the state’s traffic camera network to broadly monitor the introduction of automated vehicles to roadways and provide key safety and operational insights to traffic management officials.
