To see the selected projects in Smart 50 Awards, including the ones by the UTC Center for Urban Informatics and Progress, go to: https:\/\/fall.smartcitiesconnect.org\/Smart50Awards\/<\/a><\/p>\n

For the third year in a row, innovative projects by the Center for Urban Informatics and Progress (CUIP) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga are being recognized as among the Top 50 in the world.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Smart 50 Awards, which select the best \u201cSmart Cities\u201d research projects around the globe, chose CUIP\u2019s research on predicting and reducing vehicle crashes at various intersections in Chattanooga and its project to improve pedestrian safety citywide, using East Martin Luther King Boulevard as a starting point.<\/p>\n

Smart City projects conduct research in such areas as energy, transportation, health care and education with the ultimate goals of, among others, improving quality of life, environmental sustainability and financial transparency in their city.<\/p>\n

In the Crash Prediction project, CUIP is working with the Chattanooga Department of Transportation and Hamilton County.\u00a0This is the third year in a row that the project has been chosen for the Smart 50 Awards.<\/p>\n

The Pedestrian Analysis project is a collaboration with Korea-based Seoul Robotics, Ouster\u2014a San Francisco manufacturer of the 3D-object detection technology known as LIDAR\u2014and the Chattanooga Department of Transportation. Together, the technology and MLK Smart Corridor sensors are being used to better understand how pedestrians and vehicles interact. This is the first year the Pedestrian Analysis project has won the Smart 50 award.<\/p>\n

No monetary prize comes with selections, but CUIP will be recognized in October at the Smart Cities Connect conference in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The Smart 50 Awards are selected through a partnership of the Smart Cities Connect Foundation and U.S. Ignite, , a National Science Foundation project that connects and helps find funding for public and private groups, including universities and cities, to encourage smart city initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
