Successfully Providing Connectivity Through Automated / Connected Vehicles (P) (E) Room: Salon #1 (North Tower) Cities and agencies are faced with the challenge to increase public ridership post pandemic and to reach their full ridership potential, including underserved communities to unlock the opportunity of connectivity, education, employment, health care, and food resources. These challenges occur during a time when there is a driver shortage, and reduced ridership from pre-pandemic levels which have decreased fare box collections. The industry has seen an increase in the deployment of Automated Vehicles (AV) to support the above needs. The keys to deploying a successful AV deployment include understanding ridership needs; accessibility to all riders; key route or operational design domains (ODDs) that provide connections; the use of zero emission fleets; and vehicles that operate at roadway speeds with the ability to accommodate ADA passengers. Learn about local and national deployments and how best to use this knowledge to support the growth of AVs in the NY/NJ metropolitan area.

(P) (E) Room: Pageant (South Tower) In 2020, NJ DOT initiated its first “Connected Ready” project for final design and in 2021, the construction was started for Rte. 1 and I-278 project, and it is still progressing. NJ DOT staff, consultants, contractors, vendors and others involved in various phases had worked for many years through many different phases learning, testing and coordinating with pertinent subject matter experts. NJ DOT also concluded an extensive and detailed System Engineering Process (SE), to ensure the systems requirements were identified and included in the planning and design process. After the successful completion of the design and the initiation of the construction, there is enough information, knowledge, and experience available to share with others such as our local partners to help them understand the various phases of connected systems. This session will focus on simplifying the process and sharing all experiences related to planning, design, construction, and operation that were gained so that our local partners are able to decide and determine the best options of integrating Connected Technologies when upgrading their respective signal systems.

Demystifying Technology for the Locals: (P) (E) Room: Rolling Chair (South Tower) The network of roadways connecting our local Counties, Municipalities and Townships provides critical connectivity internally but is also the critical link in providing access to the State arterials and Interstate System. These links are extremely crucial for the safe and efficient mobility of traffic through any region. Due to the increased use of GPS and digital mapping, some of the generally less travelled roadways are now frequently identified as viable alternative routes and subjected to significantly increased traffic. Unfortunately, NJ is still lacking in having a robust and well connected ITS system on the local roadway network considering that the local network is carrying the majority of traffic. There is a significant gap in technology implementation for the locals when it comes to the latest trends as a tremendous burden falls on the local staff who manage the operation of the signals. This session is focused on addressing the needs of planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining ITS systems for local agencies and breaking it down to smaller simpler tasks that can be managed on modest budgets and with limited resources.

Zero Emission Transformation for Public Mobility (P) (E) Room: Seaside (South Tower) The transformation to zero emission transportation is as consequential for today’s world as was the transition from the horse to the internal combustion engine over 115 years ago. The focus back in the 1910’s was the vehicles – few recall the other ways the transformation of the world brought about by the introduction of everything from roadway paving to the creation of a massive industry around the delivery of the fuel the new mobility required, all enabled by change in human behavior. In this panel, we will a discuss the impacts beyond JUST the vehicles with a focus on public transportation. The investment that will be required in master planning, workforce development, program management. In facilities and the energy sourcing infrastructure, be it grid power or the application of the almost 9 Gigawatts of renewable off-shore wind power coming on line by 2040 will dwarf the cost of the vehicle fleets. In all, we will discuss the path forward to successfully implement change at this magnitude.

Battery and Hydrogen Propulsion Technology: Achieving Safe and Reliable Operation (P) (E) Room: Seaside (South Tower) In the quest of achieving zero emission goals for their vehicles, transportation operators have been converting their fleets to battery or hydrogen power. While these technologies are more widespread in light duty applications, their use in heavy duty applications, such as rail and but transport, and other heavy machinery is still in its infancy. Zero emission technologies in heavy duty applications present new challenges that must be understood and addressed to ensure successful fleet decarbonization.The panel discussion will focus of safety issues related to the operation and maintenance of zero-emissions vehicles. The discussion will outline some of the challenges that exist with the identification and mitigation of hazards associated with battery and hydrogen fuel cell systems in an environment where few standards and regulations exist to guide the design of these systems in heavy duty applications. This discussion will be supported with several examples of current projects will be presented to show how those challenges were addressed.

The Equity in Infrastructure (EIP) (P) Room: Salon #1 (North Tower) The EIP exists to improve public contracting practices by creating more opportunities for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) to build generational wealth by creating prime, joint venture and equity contracting opportunities for these firms. The EIP was founded to leverage the unprecedented transportation funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to increase generational wealth for the communities that have been historically left behind. To accomplish this goal, the partnership takes a holistic approach to government procurement as a means of redistributing wealth. The presentation will summarize approaches that the Partnership and the public agency pledge signatories have taken to enable equitable outcomes. EIP’s partners bring to life President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative Executive order to increase the share of diverse firms fulfilling not only federal contracts, but state and local contracts across multiple modes of transportation and infrastructure. Since the partnership’s founding, 24 public agencies have taken the Pledge to bring innovation to their own procurement processes to open pathways for opportunity with local agencies including NJDOT, NYSDOT, DelDOT, CTDOT, SEPTA, and City of Philadelphia. Come hear more about this topic and share your thoughts and experiences.

The Crossroads: Electrification as an Inflection Point for Modern Mobility (P) Room: Pageant (South Tower) The electrification of personal, transit, and commercial vehicles goes far beyond the simple purchase of a new bus, truck, or car. Instead of viewing this conversion through the lens of one-to-one replacement of ICE vehicles, we should seize this moment and reexamine the fundamental dimensions of our public and private transportation systems and behaviors. This panel will explore the potentially transformative facets of the electric conversion including increasing single car households, rethinking bus service and rolling stock needs, and facilitating last-mile and micro-mobility solutions.
