With the new $10 million funding, the team aims to build on its groundbreaking work to improve safety on Nashville's roads.
The goal of Phase II is to improve the safety of vulnerable road users along the Nolensville Pike corridor and continue enhancing safety along the Stage I corridor. The project will deploy sensing, analytics, and interventions piloted in Phase I at a larger scale. Prioritized locations include pedestrian and cyclist safety along the High Injury Network (HIN) as outlined in Nashville’s Vision Zero Action Plan. Key components of Phase II include:
- Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies to collect and evaluate "near-miss" data.
- Continuous recording and analysis of safety data to assess intervention effectiveness.
- Expanding the system's reach to the Nolensville Pike community and maintaining engagement with North Nashville communities.
