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
