projects which incorporate innovative design solutions, enhance the environment for <br />automated vehicles, or use technology to improve the detection, mitigation, and <br />documentation of safety risks. Innovative safety approaches may include, but are not <br />limited to: <br />• Conflict detection and mitigation technologies (e.g., intersection alerts and <br />signal prioritization); <br />• Dynamic signaling, smart traffic signals, or pricing systems to reduce <br />congestion; <br />• Traveler information systems, to include work zone data exchanges; <br />• Signage and design features that facilitate autonomous or semi- <br />autonomous vehicle technologies; <br />• Applications to automatically capture and report safety -related issues (e.g., <br />identifying and documenting near -miss incidents); and <br />• Cybersecurity elements to protect safety -critical systems. <br />For innovative safety proposals, the Department will evaluate safety benefits that <br />those approaches could produce and the broader applicability of the potential results. <br />DOT will also assess the extent to which the project uses innovative technology that <br />supports surface transportation to significantly enhance the operational performance of <br />the transportation system. <br />Innovative technologies include: broadband deployment and the installation of <br />high-speed networks concurrent with the project construction; connecting Intelligent <br />Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure; and providing direct fiber connections that <br />support surface transportation to public and private entities, which can provide a platform <br />PAGE 34 <br />
