Abstract:This project looked to create a foundation for deploying connected vehicle infrastructure and facilitating connected vehicle research for the NITC UTC. Connected Vehicle (CV) technology and the associated data have the potential to help better understand vehicle, streetcar, and transit performance as well as improve safety for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Specifically, this project piloted the Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System (MMITSS), a Dynamic Mobility Application that provides traffic signal priority for multiple modes of travelers developed at the University of Arizona. Data from the MMITSS platform was integrated into the PORTAL data archive. The connected vehicle deployment began with one Portland Streetcar vehicle and included three intersections along the “Art Museum Corridor.” This pilot project was a top-to-bottom implementation of a foundational platform for connected vehicle research in hopes to provide lessons learned of an applied application of CV technology in an urban transit environment. Unfortunately, the project didn’t achieve the goal of achieving an operational system that could be analyzed, evaluated, and an expansion planned, but City of Portland staff did learn about CV technologies, implementation of advanced traffic management systems, and the challenges of emerging technologies.
