Summary:

The intended activities of the project are to:

  • Conduct comprehensive review of the existing ITS system architecture and implementation in New Jersey
  • Document the best practices in ITS system architecture practices in the country, which support transition to connected  and electric vehicles
  • Identify gaps in New Jersey compared to these best practices
  • Develop a preliminary system architecture for New Jersey that supports connected and electric vehicle technologies
  • Identify critical infrastructure barriers and challenges in New Jersey to make the transition

The research outcome will lead to preliminary design plan of a test bed, a simulation model demonstrating scale up, and a preliminary system architecture.
