The 324 US Department of Transportation is hosting a webinar on 22 August at 1500-1600 EDT, Insights, Challenges and Lessons Learned from the Concept Development Phase - New York City (NYCDOT) Pilot Site.

The New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot is part of a national effort to advance connected vehicle technologies through deployment, testing, and demonstration, as well as sharing lessons learned for future connected vehicle providers. The pilot, which is anticipated to be the largest connected vehicle deployment to date, is being deployed in hopes of helping New York City attain its Vision Zero initiative that seeks to completely eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024. With the support of a team of federal experts, NYCDOT has spent 11 months preparing a comprehensive deployment concept to ensure a rapid and efficient connected vehicle capability roll-out.
 
The pilot calls for fitting approximately 8,000 vehicles that frequent the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn (including taxis, buses, commercial fleet delivery trucks, and other city vehicles) with connected vehicle technology. The city also plans to implement the technology on approximately 310 signalized intersections in the area, where the connected vehicle applications will help enforce the 25 mph city-wide speed limit. Additional connected vehicle infrastructure will be deployed along the higher-speed Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive and its ramps, where current challenges include short-radius curves, a weight limit, and a minimum bridge clearance.
 
In September 2016, NYCDOT will embark on the next phase of activity to design, build, and test this complex and extensive deployment of integrated wireless in-vehicle, mobile device, and roadside technologies.

Hear about the site insights, challenges and lessons learned from Jonathan Walker, 5590 New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) Pilot Site COR, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Mohamad Talas, NYCDOT Pilot Site Program Manager, NYCDOT.
