VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING (V2X)
DAY ONE DEPLOYMENT DISCTRICT (DODD)

The V2X DODD will showcase a fully operational V2X environment deployed by Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) on live streets in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The V2X DODD is one of the largest permanent V2X deployments on live streets and shows that V2X applications are ready for widespread deployment today. The V2X DODD experience at World Congress will be an immersive real-world deployment to show how V2X can improve the safety and efficiency of how people move within a busy city. The V2X DODD will showcase that real-time connectivity can improve situational awareness between road users, vehicles, and infrastructure. 

The V2X DODD includes an experience station and ride alongs for World Congress attendees made possible through public-private partnerships. The experience station will allow you to interact with V2X deployers and see the V2X hardware up close in the World Congress outdoor demonstration area. The ride alongs with V2X deployers will allow you to see roadside units (RSUs) communicating with vehicle and road user onboard units (OBUs) in action throughout a one-mile ride along within the larger GDOT V2X deployment. For example, the Saxton Lab ride along will show how a V2X mobile device app displays the location of a pedestrian near an intersection to alert drivers in near-real time, even if the pedestrian are out of sight. The ride alongs will show 16 smart traffic signals, 15 RSUs, 6 LiDAR sensors, and other smart infrastructure in action!
