Brian Watson, Director of Business Development and Innovative Programs, American Traffic Safety Services Administration (ATSSA) Shane McKenzie, Transportation Engineer Specialist, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Paul Carlson, Chief Technology Officer, Road Infrastructure Inc., Jose Herrera-Alonso, 3M Shawn Brovolds, Market Development Manager – Connected Roads, 3M Sandra Larson, Stanley Consultants Gaia Borgias, Program Manager, Mobility Innovation Center CoMotion at University of Washington Bruce Haldors, CEO, Transpo Group Ryan Snyder, Principle, Transpo Group Session Description Public Sector Infrastructure Owner Operators (IOOs) face many challenges and barriers to implementing roadway automation. At the same time, the private sector (OEMs, Tier 1 and Infrastructure Suppliers), consultants and academia are moving at a scale and pace that significantly exceed IOO’s readiness to engage and capacity to adapt. This creates roadblocks for innovation. The objective of this breakout session is to create a better, mutual understanding of IOO’s and private sector assumptions and needs. The focus will be on finding workable solutions to overcome roadblocks and institutional barriers. This will support effective partnerships between private and public partners and help IOOs adopt and implement the automated and connected technologies that are currently being developed at a rapid pace. Goals/Objectives/Outputs • Candid conversations to facilitate open and tangible dialogue on how to support near term investment and deployment opportunities between IOOs and private sector • Better private sector understanding of IOOs and how to engage State DOTs / IOOs. • Identify real, near-term partnership opportunities: between State DOTs / IOOs and the Private Sector. Discuss where DOTs are planning to invest and what specific things are needed prior to making investment commitments • Facilitate learning and identify a conceptual framework for sharing information and learning from the pilots, demonstrations and initial deployments. • Summary of institutional barriers and actionable steps to address barriers • Tangible prioritized next steps oriented roundtable discussions to facilitate continued partnership conversations following the breakout for all participants. • Overall, increased State DOT participation and engagement 1:30 PM – 1:40 PM Welcome and Introductions Setting the stage for candid conversations • Ted Bailey, Cooperative Automated Transportation (CAT) Program Manager, WSDOT 1:40 PM – 3:15 PM What does the partnership journey look like in the real-world? Description: Opening Panel Panelists will provide succinct, transparent and thought-provoking remarks based on personal experiences relative to the identified focus areas. This will prepare workshop participants for the interactive and facilitated Q&A and mini-breakout sessions that follow. 3:15 PM – 3:30 PM Break 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM: Interactive Discussions: Identify Barriers and Solutions /Opportunities Description: Interactive, mini-breakouts to reflect on opening panel. Identify barriers and possible opportunities to overcome barriers. 4:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Reviewing Opportunities to Overcome Barriers / Prioritized Voting Description: Participants in the room will have the opportunity to review the Top 10 barriers and possible opportunities to overcome those barriers based on the mini-breakout group discussions. 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM Session Title: Moving Forward (Conclusion) • Ted Bailey, Cooperative Automated Transportation (CAT) Program Manager, WSDOT Description: Each Break-out Facilitator shares the Top 1 or 2 opportunities to overcome the primary barriers discussed. What follow-up actions should be brought to a sponsoring group (e.g. TRB Committee) and/or others decision making forum for action. Ethical Algorithms in Autonomous Vehicles – Part 1 Room: Crystal K/L Organizers Nicholas G. Evans, University of Massachusetts Lowell Pamela Robinson, University of Massachusetts Lowell/Australian National University Session Description We bring together internationally recognized and emerging scholars in ethics and policy to present new work in machine ethics and the ethics of autonomous vehicles. The two days of programming will feature discussions and conceptual innovation in the ethics of autonomous vehicles, followed by an open forum to identify emerging issues and develop collaborations for future work. NEW for 2019: We’ll discuss how trust and uncertainty figure in the ethics of autonomous vehicles, and we’ll consider the effects of autonomous vehicles on society. Objectives Identify emerging ethical challenges in future transport systems Build networks of researchers to advance solutions to these problems Engage in a forum to promote the next generation of leadership in the ethical deployment of autonomous vehicles. Agenda – Day One 1:30 PM - 1:45 PM Opening Remarks • Nicholas Evans, Assistant Professor in Philosophy, University of Massachusetts Lowell • 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM Modelling the Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles Using Model of Resource and Time-Based Triage (MORTT) We present work from a collaboration between Gryphon Scientific, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Manhattan College, and CalPoly San Luis Obispo to model traffic interactions concerning autonomous vehicles, using MORTT. • Rocco Casagrande, Principal, Gryphon Scientific 2:45 PM – 3:00 PM Break 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM Presentation: How much should an AV know? • Katherine Evans, Ph.D. Candidate in Philosophy, Sorbonne University, VEDECOM 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Panel: Ethical Algorithms for Autonomous Vehicles Panelists discuss the challenges we face in designing ethical autonomous vehicles or autonomous vehicles that behave in line with our values.

Topics cover policy, planning, regulations, economics, and of course technology. The sharks highlight issues that may have been overlooked or that would benefit from a frank debate. All modes are covered. Formal speeches are kept to a minimum. A group of commentators (the sharks) ask provocative questions and may engage in debate among themselves as well as with the presenter and the audience. Ample time is allowed for comments and questions from the audience. A sense of humor is encouraged. Goals/Objectives/Outputs Considerable controversy exists regarding how AVs will affect society – and whether these impacts are positive or negative. Even when no consensus can
