Outdoor lighting and renovation of a road / highway in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Conceptual plans call for outdoor lighting for a road / highway; and for the renovation of a road / highway.

Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Project Description This project will deploy real time adaptive traffic signals, pedestrian detection, vehicle to vehicle (V2V), and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technology along several key corridors or "Smart Spines." The core of the project is a decentralized approach to control traffic in a road network: each intersection allocates its green time independently based on actual incoming vehicle and pedestrian flows. Then, projected outflows are communicated to neighboring intersections to increase their visibility of future incoming traffic. Project Justification The project will improve mobility and enhance safety for users of all modes in our rights of way. The Smart Spine corridors connect Pittsburgh’s densest population centers to Downtown and Oakland - the second and third largest employment hubs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - where 50% of our region’s residents work. Operating Budget Impact Staff time will be needed to manage vendor contracts and review designs. As of April 19, 2021 this project is conceptual.
