I-STREETTM Newsletter
Every week, we send you a free email unpacking the most important topics in tech for cities. You’ll understand how cities and technology companies are innovating their services, why they matter, and what it means for you.
Featured Pilot
Autonomous shuttles (AS) demonstration projects provide researchers with opportunities to collaborate with industry, community stakeholders, policy makers, local, state, and federal transit authorities. Pilots evaluated two AS implementations (Gainesville and Lake Nona in Florida) from three perspectives that examine the interactions of road users

Realtime Intersection Optimization
The Realtime Intersection Optimizer (RIO) obtains the vehicle arrival information through radar and cameras for both conventional vehicles and AVs as they enter the communication range. The two sources of arrival information are fused, and the resulting arrivals are entered into the algorithm for processing. Optimized signal timings are sent to the signal controller, while optimized trajectories are sent to the AVs and CVs.
Evaluation of Gainesville SPaT Trapezium
The overall goal of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) in improving efficiency and safety within a network of signalized intersections. This communication system is now being transitioned to CV2X frequency.
University of Florida Transportation Institute partners with Urban SDK to expand I-STREET program.
The University of Florida Transportation Institute (UFTI) has formed a strategic partnership with leading traffic solutions software company, Urban SDK to expand its I-STREET Program to enhance collaboration with local governments and technology startups. This initiative lets local governments improve transportation, mobility, safety, and infrastructure with unprecedented access to cutting-edge transportation technology, research, and solution validation.
