• Abstract:
  The Smarter Intersections Pilot Project deployed and tested smart infrastructure technology in College Station, Texas to achieve two main goals: 1) Improve intersection safety and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and those using other mobility devices, including people with mobility and visual disabilities; and 2) Demonstrate that the technology functions as proposed. The project used Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) units at five intersections in tandem with on-board units (OBUs) in transit vehicles to alert pedestrians and bicyclists using crosswalks and bike lanes of turning buses through auditory and visual cues. It also incorporated that information into a Smart Phone application that blind/low-vision people can use to navigate an intersection. Further, the project simulates how the information can be communicated to an automated shuttle and an emergency vehicle approaching an intersection.
  
  The total size of the zip file is 30.8 MB. The .docx file is a Microsoft Word file, which can be opened with Word and other free word processor programs, such as Kingsoft Writer, OpenOffice Writer, Apache OpenOffice, and ONLYOFFICE. The Portable Document Format (PDF) file format was developed by Adobe Systems and represents two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. There are PDF readers available on many platforms, such as Xpdf, Foxit, and Adobe's own Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF readers/viewers or online services for basic functions are generally free (for more information on .pdf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/pdf-file-extension). A TAB file is a very simple textual data format which allows tabular data to be exchanged between applications that use different internal data formats. These files can be opened using open-source programs such as Notepad or other open source, tabular file readers. These files are more commonly known as .tsv files (for more information on .tab files, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/tab-file-extension-tab-separated-value). The .xlsx files are Microsoft Excel files, which can be opened with Excel, and other free available spreadsheet software, such as OpenRefine. The .txt file type is a common text file, which can be opened with a basic text editor. The most common software used to open .txt files are Microsoft Windows Notepad, Sublime Text, Atom, and TextEdit (for more information on .txt files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/txt-file-extension).
