The rapid deployment of automated vehicles presents both opportunities and challenges, especially for first responders tasked with ensuring public safety during emergencies. This research project, led by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, in partnership with the Texas A&M Engineering Extension, addressed critical needs and strategies for interactions between first responders and automated vehicles. This report details work that led to the development of a first responder guide to automated vehicle interactions and an automated vehicle recognition guide and identifies gaps in knowledge, operational challenges, and policy deficiencies for first responder interactions with automated vehicles. This report is useful for state and federal regulators, automated vehicle developers, first responders, traffic management organizations, local communities, homeland security personnel, and elected officials in the conduct of their duties.
