We Are Here…

Columbus, OH

4 Emerging Technologies

• Smart Columbus Operating System- web based data

management and open-data platform

• Columbus Connected Vehicle Environment (CVE)
• Enhanced Human Services (Hubs)
• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

$40M grant leveraged with $510M in additional funding

Columbus, OH

Smart Columbus Sandbox

• Open data made available through Sandbox
• Users can also upload their own data
• Data is broken down into degrees of privacy; some

requires “scrubbing”

Kansas City, MO

• 2.2- mile streetcar corridor
• $50M TIGER Grant & public/ private partnership with Cisco and

Sprint - $15.7M

• Cisco and Sprint receive exclusive access to data usage
• RFP to attract additional investors
• Partnered with Rockhurst University on open data portal (series
• f “How To” videos)
• Wiki format on what data is usable

Atlanta, GA

• 2.3- mile North Avenue Corridor
• Hundreds of sensors; video detection system for real-time traffic

management, adaptive signal timing, and framework for CV/AV

• Users can sign into app as driver, pedestrian, cyclist, transit users

to get real-time info

• Digital Mobility Center (City of Atlanta)

Atlanta, GA

• Partnership with Georgia Tech (GT can analyze data)
• North Ave project is $3M, funded thru Atlanta’s Smart City

Project ($250M bond)

• Additional ½ cent local options tax raised $300M for Atlanta

Smart City Project

• Looking to leverage PPP – City is establishing “backbone” with

public funds; draw private investment in technologies that utilize “backbone”

• Issued RFP for local investors

Applying SMART City Technologies to Main St

Smart Street Lights

Pedestrian Safety

Traffic/ Curbside/ Parking Management

• Real-Time and Dynamic
• Adaptive Signal Timing
• Everything is Connected
• Identification of Incidents
• Flex Zones

Complete Streets

• Street lights contain sensors that

detect bicyclists and trigger traffic signals to provide priority

• Can provide real time bicycling

conditions, counts, peak periods

Spragins Street Smart Cycle Track, Huntsville, AL

CV/ AV and MAAS

• Smart Street Lights lay the

foundation for additional components

• Communication Onboard and

Along the Street

• Mobility Hub

Pilot Universally Designed Intersection

• Use tactile and mobile technologies

to navigate intersections

• NYC pilot- 7th & 23rd
• Communication to mobile devices

Main Street & Summer St/ Best St

Energy & Utilities

• Smart Streetlights
• Utility and stormwater sensors
• Identifying peak demands
• EV charging
• WiFi and 5G (and beyond)

Applying SMART City Technologies to Main St

• Unified approach amongst stakeholders
• Main Street as pilot/ future proof
• Data Management could be housed in NITTEC
• Leverage initial investment with public/ private funding
• RFI’s
• Value in data/ information and infrastructure
• Use UB CV/AV pilot to establish policy for CV/AV and privacy
• Data Management Plan/ Data Privacy Plan
