Advancing Interoperable Connectivity Deployment: Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Results and Findings

DTFH6116F00019In September 2015, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO) awarded three deployment sites under the Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot Deployment Program to: the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT); the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA); and the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). Each site planned, built, tested, deployed, and operated a tailored suite of CV applications addressing stakeholder-identified transportation needs in diverse systems, ranging from dense urban grid networks to isolated high-plains interstates. Safety, mobility, environmental, and public agency efficiency impacts of CV applications were assessed by both the sites themselves and independent evaluators. All three sites overcame significant technical and non-technical challenges to integrate still-maturing CV technology within their deployed transportation systems. Due to the limitations of working with emerging technologies, impacts for many applications were reduced. Despite these challenges, the program achieved key goals related to interoperability, cybersecurity, and replicability and demonstrated that CV technologies and foundational standards can be utilized to mount multiple large-scale operational deployments. This report serves as an entry point for readers seeking to understand the objectives, successes, and insights gained from the CV Pilot Deployment Program

Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Lessons Learned Logbook Synthesis

DTFH61-11-D-00018The Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment (CVPD) Program seeks to spur innovation among early adopters of connected vehicle application concepts. In September 2015, Pilot deployment awards were made to three sites, New York City, Wyoming, and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) in Tampa, FL. The pilot sites were expected to integrate connected vehicle research concepts into practical and effective elements, enhancing current operational capabilities and safety. This report is intended to share useful solutions and lessons learned captured by the three CV sites in in their Lessons Learned Logbooks (LLLs), and to help the CV community avoid known pitfalls and expedite successful, cost-effective CV deployments. Information in the LLLs was analzyed across all sites to generate an initial list of lessons learned. Each site reviewed the initial lessons learned synthesis for accuracy and enhancement
