Connected Transportation and Smart Infrastructure
Connected transportation, where vehicles, travelers, and infrastructure communicate with each other through digital data streams, is one of the primary interconnected systems in a smart/connected city.
In a complex, interdependent and multimodal environment, connected vehicles and connected transportation have the potential to enhance safety, mobility, sustainability, economic growth and quality of life. CSU is leading the research and education component of several intelligent vehicle projects for the City of Denver.
Denver Smart City Program - Advanced Transportation Congestion Management Technology Deployment Initiative
As an outgrowth of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Smart City Challenge, the City and County of Denver is advancing three Intelligent Vehicle (IV) Projects utilizing advanced traveler information systems; advanced transportation management technologies; transportation system performance data collection, analysis, and dissemination systems; and advanced safety systems to address issues and challenges in safety, mobility, and sustainability while building a foundation for future projects to improve economic vitality and air quality.
CSU, in partnership with the University of Colorado – Denver (UCD), is leading the Research and Education – Academic SMART component of the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Initiative. This research arm of the SMART Council is charged with bringing together multidisciplinary teams of researchers, educators, policymakers and stakeholders to conduct collaborative research that addresses the fundamental challenges of implementing Smart City technologies and informs decisions that lead to energy, economic, environmental, social and cultural sustainability. The Academic SMART Council is also focusing on education and workforce development to help develop the next generation of Smart City professionals, particularly women and underrepresented minorities in STEM fields. The committee will oversee a K-12 educational outreach program through partnerships with UCD, Colorado Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement and the Denver School of Science and Technology.
