Corridor Technology
To plan and prepare for the future and in anticipation of the CO 7 Corridor’s growth, the corridor team is planning to develop a Smart Technology plan to identify design details and treatments to be included in the preliminary engineering considering emerging autonomous and connected vehicle (AV/CV) technologies, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and communications infrastructure.
Recommendations focus on:
- Technology for Quick & Timely Design and Implementation
- High Return on Investment
- Direction to Project Design
Increase Transit Reliability
- Transit signal priority enabled traffic signals
- Queue jump enabled traffic signals
- Transit support technologies
- Increase intermodal connectivity
- Implement fiber communications network for existing lines and in the future
- EV charging stations at mobility hubs and BRT stations
- Smart park-and-ride system
- Develop corridor Intelligent Transportation System Plan
Increase pedestrian and bicycle safety
- Bicycle and pedestrian detection at signals
Increase synergy and communication with data driven insights
- Data sharing platform
- Performance monitoring
- Cameras at signals
- Signals on system
Next steps:
- Opportunities with transit start-up operations
- Initiate IGAs
- Leverage technology opportunities
- Leverage joint development opportunities
