Abstract: Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) can have a profound influence on transport systems. However, most levels of automation and connectivity require support from the road infrastructure. Additional support such as Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) services can facilitate safe and efficient traffic, and alleviate the environmental impacts of road surface vehicles. However, due to the rapidly evolving technology, C-ITS service deployment requirements are not always clear. Furthermore, the costs and benefits of infrastructure investments are subject to tremendous uncertainty. This study articulates the requirements using a structured approach to propose a CAV-Readiness Framework (CRF). The main purpose of the CRF is allowing road authorities to assess their physical and digital infrastructure readiness, define requirements for C-ITS services, and identify future development paths to reach higher levels of readiness to support CAVs by enabling C-ITS services. The CRF is intended to guide and support road authorities' investment decisions on infrastructure.
