In this study, The University of Arizona team will assess the potential of the CV technology to facilitate emergency response services and enhance traffic safety, particularly for vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and bicyclists. The project will focus on the careful selection of study sites, experimental design, performance measures, and, subsequently, measuring the impact of RSU deployment on improving incident response and traffic safety.
