Vision
• Develop an environmentally conscious multimodal design for future rural, suburban and urban corridors that can be applied throughout the state as new construction or as a retrofit.–We designed this project to be
implemented on any corridor in the state of Florida.

Complete Streets
• Streets that are designed to accommodate all users

Innovative Technologies
• Permeable pavement with cisterns to collect water• Interactive lighting• Glow in the dark lines• Solar Powered street lights• Electric inductive charging• Roads that collect solar energy• Piezoelectric lanes (energy collected through
vibration in the road)• Dynamic paint (the road can illustrate the
conditions)• Intelligent Networked Highways
8
• Glow in the dark indicators of roadway conditions

9
Interactive Roadway Lighting
• Roadway interacts with traffic
• Streetlights can turn on and off as vehicles require
• Piezoelectric generators incorporated into the road surface
10
Inductive Charging
Inductive charging available for in route charging of vehicles could be implemented on the “Slow lane” of the highway. The power for the inductive charging can be supplemented by the piezoelectric properties of the roadway. Vehicles can also be inductively charged while parked.

11
Inductive Charging• The city of Gumi, South Korea has debuted a wirelessly
charged electric bus• The charge plates under the road generally take up only
between 5 and 15 percent of the total route, and remain switched off until an induction-capable bus approaches.
12
Benefits of Incorporating Innovative Technologies and Strategies
• Additional revenue can be generated to offset the costs of constructing highways with this advanced technology
• Users would be required to pay a fee for inductive charging
• The energy necessary for inductive charging can be provided from piezoelectric energy roads and the remaining energy can be sold to the power company– This strategy adds an additional, renewable energy
source helping to protect the environment

HOV/HOT/Express Lanes
• Proven effective in the case of theI-95/I-595 Express Lanes• In combination with movable medians, this
strategy reduces the number of lanes that are required
18
“Zipper” BarrierMichigan has used the movable barrier wall on 4 or 5 projects in work zones. Safety record was perfect.
The barriers are safer than barrels or cones because of the ability to absorb energy.
Michigan DOT also believes that the drivers are safer because the semi-permanent barrier makes drivers focus more.

These barriers are used as a delineation for the separation of traffic.
Any of the red highlighted lanes are able to be used as HOT or GP lanes to achieve desirable LOS conditions.
Contra-flow conditions can also be implemented in the rural and suburban areas as well as construction zones.
RURAL SUBURBAN URBAN
“Zipper” Barrier Usage
20
Contra flow in a work zone. Capacity can be adjusted. 8 miles of barrier can easily be moved in 45 minutes.
The ability of this system to provide the capacity as needed where it is needed in limited space is desirable. Urban arterials can be adjusted to meet traffic flow requirements.

Present ideas for cross sections of a roadway with HOT Lanes
One HOT Lane
Two HOT Lanes
22
…2 northbound lanes and 3 southbound lanes to handle traffic flow while maintaining an optimal LOS. At the appropriate time HOT lanes can be converted to connected vehicle lanes
With the use of a zipper barrier, 3 northbound lanes and 2 southbound lanes can easily by changed to…

Benefit of Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to
Infrastructure (V2I) Application• Safety
• Control Loss Warning• Driver Log• Blind Spot Warning
Driver receives warning when showing intent to change lanes
Normal driving – advisory indicator of car in blind spot
24
Future ideas for cross sections of a fully automated roadway with inductive charging lanes
Roadway surface Piezoelectric layer Inductive charging lanes Sensors/Heater
Roadway surface includes solar charging (PV Cells), Piezoelectric layer provides electricity to power infrastructure, Inductive charging lanes charge electric vehicles in motion, Sensors and heater locate traffic and keep roadway ice/snow free during freezing weather (Cold Climates)

25
You will notice that this roadway has no designated lanes!! The infrastructure will have a virtual barrier that can update itself and allocate space for vehicles
to travel according to demand and upcoming imminent demand. Flow of traffic can be very close
in proximity and at higher speeds.

PLANNING DEFECIENCIES
Current Suburban development
� Time taken to drive between two houses which share a boundary wall –
20mins; 9.3 miles.
� Separation of residential, commercial, and education areas – discouraging
mixed land use – private car oriented planning.

MODAL ALTERNATIVES
• PLURALITY
– Duality in mode choices with
different modes of
transportation for the seamless
movement of people.
– Overall reduction in transfer
and waiting times, vehicle
miles traveled.
– NEW MODES
– OPTIMIZATION OF EXISTING
MODES.
– Inducing mode shift
– Reducing capacity bottlenecks.

MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
• Respecting the autonomy of the individual while easing the flow of
the masses.

MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
• Focusing on the movement of people, rather than the mathematical movement of vehicles.

MASS TRANSITThe efficient movement of people will require the use of non-personal
vehicles, especially in urban areas and inter-urban commute.

NEW MODES
• Passenger rail transport operating between the extents of the future transportation corridor.
• Operating speed range: 40mph to 80mph; Pricing regime: Zonal pricing.
• Incremental investment on rail infrastructure – building tracks capable of taking high speed rails, starting with express train services with an option to upgrade. (demand responsive)
EXPRESS TRAIN SERVICE
(INTERSTATE CORRIDORS)

12
NEW MODES
• Bus based mass rapid system plying on
dedicated right of way along the exterior
lanes.
• Operating speed range: 20mph to 30mph.
• Pricing regime: Zonal pricing.
• Frequency: 2-3 mins, so right turning
movements are unaffected – signalized –
BRT has priority & power to ensure its
smooth flow. (fully actuated signal systems)
BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM
(STATE HIGHWAY CORRIDORS)
Cities for People, 2010
• BRT operating as the connectors
between suburban and urban, also
internal urban routes.
• Operating speed range: 35 mph-
45mph; Pricing regime: Zonal pricing.
• Immediate investment in fleet, minimal
investment on infrastructure.
• Can operate on existing roads, with
updated stations serving population
centres.

OPTIMIZING OF EXISTING MODES
• Planning for transport in relation
to the demand anticipated –
dynamic with respect to day, time
and economic activity.
• Planning based on cultural events
– information extraction (from
web sources) and GPS data
monitoring to study dynamism in
demand.
• Optimal scheduling based on the
schedules of the new mode
(modal integration) – reducing
travel/ transfer (waiting) times. EPFL, 2013
