Project team members from Utah and Colorado will share an honest account of what Phase 1 of this multi-state Connecting the West V2X initiative delivered, including lessons learned and next steps. Since receiving a $20 million federal grant in June 2024, UDOT has been leading a large-scale V2X deployment effort alongside the Colorado and Wyoming Departments of Transportation. During Phase 1, the project team designed, built, and tested connected transportation infrastructure across a 1,200-mile corridor, deploying applications including LiDAR detection, snowplow signal preemption, and Traveler Information Messages. This session will cover the Systems Engineering process that guided deployment, real-world performance insights from the field, key lessons learned, and what comes next heading into Phase 2. This webinar is open to transportation professionals, technology partners, researchers, and anyone with an interest in connected and automated transportation.
