The Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) is committed to identifying safety incidents outside traditional crash reports, implementing targeted safety measures, and evaluating these measures in Downtown Nashville’s complex multimodal environment under the city’s Vision Zero Implementation Plan. Through the installation of LiDAR and video camera technologies at key intersections and mid-block segments, we will collect and evaluate “near-miss” data that would not be identified using traditional evaluation methods, enabling us to further protect our transportation network’s most vulnerable individuals. NDOT is joined by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Vanderbilt University, and Tennessee State University in this initiative.
