Description
This project focuses on developing a sensor-connected “smart” corridor in Portland where transit data, traffic signalization, and air quality sensing are made available in a data portal with data visualization and analytics to improve transportation options, public health, economic development and civic engagement.
Challenges
Challenges for public transportation include getting people to the transit stop or Park and Ride. By providing the circulator, customers would use their vehicles less, spend less money on gas, and help to curb CO2 emissions that are detrimental to the environment.
Major Requirements
- Step 1: Outlining the model
- Step 2: Bringing together stakeholders
- Step 3: Identifying facilities to store vehicles during “off hours”.
- Step 4: Identifying staff, training and providing support.
- Step 5: Implementation.
Performance Targets
| Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) | Measurement Methods |
|---|---|
|
Provider will gather data statistics on ridership and time. Public Transportation system staff will provide public transport use for comparison. |
Standards/Interoperability
- Project entails several partners working together to deploy.
- Project would provide a standard for first/last mile solutions that can be implemented in a fairly quick and seamless connection with public transportation.
Replicability, Scalability, and Sustainability
The project targets small areas within neighborhoods that can be replicated easily and scaled, as demand grows. Partnerships with vehicle manufacturers remove obstacles to scale and sustain the project.
Cybersecurity and Privacy
The dispatch software used for the demand-responsive, dynamic routes is secured with a 128bit SSL security. The software maintains security through use of passwords for both the user and driver interfaces and information is kept secure by the administrator. Only two company administrators have access to all customer and driver information, keeping their own logon information secure.
Impacts
- Project provides jobs for drivers and maintenance techs.
- Environment is impacted with use of fully electric, emission-free, vehicles.
- Provides rides to ADA customers unable to walk distances impacted by service.
Demonstration/Deployment
|
Phase I Pilot/Demonstration June 2016 |
Phase II Deployment June 2017 |
|---|---|
| The project has been piloted in a business complex (Domain NORTHSIDE) in Austin, Texas (Electric Cab HQ), from 12/2016 through present. The model is being replicated in St. Louis, MO as the MX Circulator, providing the stadium crowds access to shopping and dining in the adjacent MX shops without having to use their cars. | Project is in planning stages for deployment in the CORTEX complex in St. Louis, MO, as well as SLU-Law School.
