Performance Measurement from the New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot

The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) will host a webinar to share the performance measurement from the New York City (NYC) Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, December 15, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM (ET).

The NYC CV Pilot has deployed over 450 roadside units and 3,000 aftermarket safety devices in vehicles running 13 vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure applications focused on safety. The webinar will provide an overview of the performance evaluation of the deployed CV applications in NYC’s urban canyon environment. The webinar will also cover NYC’s plans for the next phase of the project after completion of the CV Pilot’s Phase III operations.

Sponsored by the U.S. DOT Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO), the CV Pilot Deployment Program is a national effort to enable multiple connected vehicle applications and deploy, test, and operationalize cutting-edge mobile and roadside technologies. These innovative technologies and applications have the potential for immediate beneficial impacts—such as saving lives, improving personal mobility, enhancing economic productivity, reducing negative environmental impacts, and transforming public agency operations.

The U.S. DOT selected three agencies as CV Pilot deployment sites: the Wyoming Department of Transportation, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority. Each site prepared a comprehensive deployment concept to ensure a rapid and efficient connected vehicle capability roll-out. The sites then worked to design, build, and test these deployments of integrated wireless in-vehicle, mobile device, and roadside technologies. The NYC CV Pilot is nearing the completion of the operational phase, where the tested system was operated and maintained in good working order over a period of 12 months and monitored on a set of key performance metrics to measure its impact.
