The Smart Columbus Connected Vehicle Environment research study aims to improve driver safety and mobility in central Ohio. Study recruitment ended Dec 11, 2020. We equipped just over 300 residents’ vehicles with study equipment designed to provide in-car safety alerts which may help drivers make more informed decisions.
Study participants will participate in research through the end of the study on March 31, 2021. Two surveys will be distributed to study participants to share feedback on their driving experience in December 2020 and February 2021.
Eligible candidates for our study drive three or more times a week on the following streets:
As a participant, your vehicle will be collecting data and “talking” to other cars and traffic signals every time it’s in the designated area. You’ll even receive study-related safety alerts when interacting with other connected cars outside the corridor (but not alerts from school zones or traffic signals).
