StreetsAPI: A Connected-Vehicle Interface for Planning-Informed Street Management

One of the promises of connected vehicle (CV) technologies, such as vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X), is the ability to manage streets more nimbly using real-time and continuous data, changing street operating profiles based on data-informed conditions, a promise that, with few exceptions, has yet to be realized. Most streets remain static, using CV data only indirectly through traditional planning processes. StreetsAPI creates an interface and an extensible markup language (XML) for managing streets with real-time and long-run CV data. Building on empirically grounded models for street and mobility management, such as variable pricing of congestion or parking, it implements a system that uses CV data to inform parametrically modifiable street operating profiles. The resulting interface, the project’s primary distributable product, will enable localities, state departments of transportation (DOTs), and other stakeholders to establish parameters for how streets respond to CV-informed flows across a range of use cases.
