“…Level 4 AVs, in particular, hold the potential for transformative changes in transportation and urban landscapes [5], as they can operate autonomously in various scenarios and geographic areas while still offering the option for human control in exceptional circumstances [6]. Beyond automation, the connectivity aspect of vehicles plays a vital role [7, 8], enabling the exchange of safety and mobility information, overcoming limitations of onboard sensors and improving reliability in challenging conditions [9–11]. The integration of connectivity and automation, known as Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), offers unique advantages that cannot be achieved independently [12, 13].…”

The introduction of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has the potential to bring numerous advantages to urban mobility. However, many challenges for road infrastructure need to be overcome before those benefits can be achieved. This study addressed multiple dimensions of the implications of CAV deployment for road infrastructure through a comprehensive survey with 168 experts from different sectors and regions around the world. The issues are grouped into five categories: (1) key challenges of accommodating CAVs in existing urban transport networks; (2) infrastructure improvement required for shared CAV models; (3) maintenance aspects of infrastructure for CAVs; (4) implementation time of infrastructure support for CAVs; and (5) financing infrastructure upgrades to facilitate CAVs on the roads. The outcomes of the research show that there is still no consensus among the stakeholders on what should be considered to maximise CAV benefits for society as a whole. This indicates the necessity for cooperation between stakeholders to achieve the safe and efficient operation of CAVs. Overall, this study provides in‐depth insights for decision‐makers and transport planners to form policies, regulations, and guidelines regarding the future implementation of CAVs for roads before their commercialisation phase.
