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
