Share This:Construction began this week on Michigan’s “first-of-its-kind” corridor for connected and autonomous vehicles, which is expected to improve roadway safety as sophistication grows among both vehicles and surrounding infrastructure.\nPoles equipped with radar sensors, cameras, and wireless radio equipment will be used to transmit data.\nAs part of the undertaking, the state is planning to repurpose an existing travel lane into a tech-enabled express lane in each direction, pending environmental reviews.\n“A technology-enabled express lane uses physical and digital infrastructure to simplify operations for vehicles and to provide important information about the road ahead,” said the state’s transportation department.\nCAV construction is underway as progress is made at the federal level to advance connected infrastructure.
