Global City Teams Challenge September 29-30, 2014 Rickenbacker Awesome Project (RAP)

Project Scope Description – The Rickenbacker area is key to Columbus, OH’s economic competitive advantage, containing the Rickenbacker International Airport, Inland Port, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. – Addressing traffic management, safety, and emissions in this important area will position Columbus to meet its sustainability goals while maintaining its economic advantage.

Project Scope Partnerships Required – Transport industry – Sensor/device manufacturers – Traffic control agencies – Businesses located in Rickenback area – Mayor’s Office – GIS Support System Developers – Data scientists and engineers – Application developers – Interface developers (secondary consumers)

Project Scope Domains/Sectors – Traffic management – Health – Safety – Environment – Business Efficiency

Project Action Plan Major Tasks – Baseline traffic & safety issues to determine target deployment area – Design – consider alternatives for generating broadband capability, sensor types and measurements, platform for collecting/managing data – Potential user forum to identify who will be in the pilot, which actors and use cases matter, etc. – Deploy Targets – Number of adaptive techniques identified – Miles of infrastructure with all user counts (vehicle, cyclist, pedestrian)

Impacts/Benefits Reduced congestion in the Rickenbacker area Reduced emissions in the Rickenbacker area Improved safety in the Rickenbacker area

Demonstration Demonstration scenario – Install the required network (wireless, or wired) to properly deploy sensors that measure vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian. – Consider the use of LED street lighting as a method to deploy these sensors. – Forward this data in to big data storage where analysis and adaptive traffic control concepts can be created. – Possible connection to smart cars and trucks. – Provide this data to all city, state and business stakeholders
