Enabling Technologies Sample Clauses

Enabling Technologies. 2.2.2.2.1 Connected Vehicle Environment There are corridors and intersections in Columbus that have high crash numbers with vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. In addition, there are several corridors that are congested that result in poor mobility conditions for emergency vehicles, freight and transit buses. The CVE corridors were selected based on regional crash data, enhanced transit services, recent infrastructure investments and relationship to other projects. For example, the CVE corridors have 17 intersections in the top 100 regional high-crash intersections. The anticipated outcomes of the CVE project are to enhance safety and mobility throughout the city's transportation system utilizing CV technologies and applications with an emphasis on congested and high crash intersections and corridors. Safety applications are intended to be installed on multiple vehicle types including transit buses, first responder vehicles, city and partner fleet vehicles and private vehicles. Applications will be deployed to ensure emergency vehicles and the Central Ohio Transit Agency (▇▇▇▇) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fleet can utilize signal prioritization when needed to ensure safety and efficiency. While the CV applications the city plans to deploy will be identified as part of the planning phase of the systems engineering process, examples of strategies include: • Enhanced emergency vehicle pre-emption that reduces delays at signalized intersections for emergency vehicles responding to incidents and other emergencies • Transit signal priority that reduces delays at signalized intersections for transit vehicles helping to improve transit operations • Red-light safety applications for improved safety of pedestrians and drivers of vehicles at signalized intersections • School zone warnings that increase school zone visibility and alert drivers of posted speeds, helping to improve safety The Performance Measurement Plan establishes the measures and methods through which the goals and objectives of the CVE project will be evaluated to determine the project’s effectiveness of meeting the Smart Columbus vision and mission. The City of Columbus has identified the following preliminary objectives to evaluate the measurable impact the CVE project is intended to provide: • Reduce emergency response times • Improve motorist’s adherence to red lights • Improve adherence to speed limits in school zones • Improve reliability of transit vehicle schedule adherence • Reduce truck wait...
