The population of Utah, USA is projected to nearly double by 2050. This projection presents a unique transportation challenge and stresses the need for innovation, collaboration, and long-range planning. In early 2017, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) created a transportation technology engineer position to focus solely on connected vehicles, automated vehicles, and other traffic management technology projects. Building on the success of this role and the projects undertaken, UDOT created an entirely new group, recently renamed the IntelliMoveUtah group, to continue deploying these technologies. UDOT believes that new technologies, including connected and automated vehicles, will help address population growth and leverage this transformation in transportation in safer and more efficient ways. |
