Broadcasting V2X information from our signalized intersections is not enough; the automotive recipients of this information need to know that the data we send from these “connected intersections” is accurate, consistent, reliable, and secure. Developing tools to verify those conditions is the goal of this project.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) hosted the “Utah Connected Webinar Series” to foster collaboration and promote information sharing among its partners July 2023 through October 2023. The webinar series highlighted six successful deployments across Utah, including significant deployments with connected vehicles that have helped to improve mobility, safety, and quality of life.

UDOT is working towards implementing a statewide system for collecting, monitoring, using and protecting connected vehicles (CV) data to develop the most advanced transportation data network in the nation.

The Transit Signal Priority (TSP) project uses connected vehicle (CV) technology to enable conditional priority of transit vehicles at traffic signals, with the objective of improving the reliability of Utah Transit Authority bus service while optimising available green time at intersections.

UDOT, in partnership with the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), has deployed the Automated Shuttle Pilot in Utah. This pilot project gave the public its first interaction with a completely automated vehicle (AV).
