Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Stage 2

The goals of the project are the following:

• Expand the number of public sector agencies that use the CI validation tools developed in Stage 1 in conjunction with the SAE Connected Transportation Interoperability Committee (CTIC) to validate CIs and gain the trust from OEMs and SCMS Manager.
• Enhance and improve the validation tools and their user interface, based on feedback and lessons learned in Stage 1 and feedback the team expects to receive as additional intersections are tested for validation in Stage 2, and demonstrate automation of report collection and processing at scale.
• Address some additional challenges that were identified during Stage 1 and reported in the Implementation Plan submitted on July 15, 2024, such as unique aspects of how signal controllers maintain local time that vary by controller manufacturer.
