Summary Information

In September of 2015, USDOT selected New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) as the recipients of a combined $42 million in federal funding to pilot next-generation infrastructure and vehicle technology under the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program. The sites will conduct the pilots in three phases—Phase 1: Concept Development, Phase 2: Design/Build/Test, and Phase 3: Operations (with the operational period expected to last a minimum of 18 months).

The THEA Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot will deploy a variety of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) applications to relieve congestion, reduce collisions, and prevent wrong way entry at the Selmon Reversible Express Lanes (REL) exit. THEA also plans to use CV technology to enhance pedestrian safety, speed bus operations and reduce conflicts between street cars, pedestrians and passenger cars at locations with high volumes of mixed traffic.

The THEA Connected Vehicle Pilot will employ Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) to enable transmissions among cars, buses, trolleys, pedestrians with smartphone applications and roadside units along city streets. Estimated device numbers for the deployment are depicted in the table below.
