Title
New Brunswick Innovation Hub Smart Mobility Testing Ground (SMTG)
Abstract

In this project, the team led by Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT), in collaboration with Iteris, Econsult Solutions, Gannett Fleming, and MBO Engineering, completed the construction and application deployment of the New Brunswick Innovation Hub Smart Mobility Testing Ground (SMTG), now named DataCity SMTG. The project instrumented 12 roadside locations along the Route 27 and Route 18 corridors to provide complete coverage of the 2.1-mile testing ground with self-driving grade sensing, computing, and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technologies. The DataCity testing ground created a living laboratory environment to promote the research, development, and testing of smart mobility, Connected and Automated Vehicle technologies. DataCity provides four major services, including a technology proving ground for transportation agencies, a high-resolution smart mobility data hub, a digital twin platform to support early-stage research and development, open-road technology testing facilities, and community mobility applications for traffic safety application deployment and testing. DataCity is expected to promote the NJDOT’s “Commitment to Communities” initiative and the FHWA’s accelerated testing and deployment of V2X technologies.
