Vision Narrative
Our task is to provide a technical narrative of Oakland's proposed vision and goals for a Smart City Challenge. Our “Vision” document will include a high-level summary of the following:
1. Vision of Smart Oakland. Describe your city’s challenges and how the proposed elements of this proposed project can be used to address those challenges. The vision should define your approach for implementing and operating the demonstration project, including your program management approach.
2. Describe the population characteristics of your city and show how it aligns with the USDOT’s characteristics for a Smart City, including:
- Mid-size city with population between approximately 200,000 and 850,000 people in the city limits;
- Dense urban population; and
- Represents a significant portion (preferably more than 15%) of the population of your local urbanized area.
Your city’s 2010 CDP and UZA population can be viewed using the 2010 Urban Area to Place Relationship File at: https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/ua_rel_download.html
Your city’s density should be calculated using its 2010 CDP population divided by its 2010 land area in square miles, as provided by the US Census Bureau.
3. Describe other characteristics of your city and show how it aligns with the USDOT’s characteristics for a Smart City, including:
- Existing public transportation system;
- Environment that is conducive to demonstrating proposed strategies;
- Continuity of committed leadership and capacity to carry out the demonstration throughout the period of performance;
- A commitment to integrating with the sharing economy; and
- A clear commitment to making open, machine-readable data accessible, discoverable and usable by the public to fuel entrepreneurship and innovation.
5. Describe how your holistic, integrated approach aligns to the twelve USDOT vision elements described in this solicitation. For each vision element, describe your approach including the technology solutions proposed. Illustrate how the proposed technology solutions can synergistically combine to create measurable impact while reducing costs associated with both deployment and operations.
6. Identify and rate key technical, policy, and institutional risks associated with the deployment vision and discuss plans for mitigating those risks.
7. Outline team partners, key stakeholders, and demonstration governance processes. Describe existing and future public and/or private partnerships, including university research partnerships.
8. Describe existing transportation infrastructure and system features in your city, including:
- Arterial miles
- Freeway miles
- Transit services
- Shared-use mobility services
- Information and communication technology (ICT)
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) including transportation management centers and field equipment
- Smart Grid Infrastructure including electric vehicle charging infrastructure
9. Define the data your city currently collects. Describe how these data, along with new data to be collected and shared during the demonstration may be used by the lead agency, project partners, other agencies and stakeholders to further address city challenges. Describe how transportation data could integrate with other functions or services in a city (such as public safety, human services, transit, and public works) to improve the management and operations of the city. Likewise, describe how other data could be integrated with transportation data to improve transportation operations. Describe any existing policies and identify their sources (local executive order or policy, local ordinance or state legislation, etc.) applicable to the proposed data to be collected and shared as part of the proposed project. Submissions describing cross-cutting partnerships to advance smart city technologies, related programs and policies are encouraged, but not required. If you plan to partner with outside organizations (nonprofits, universities, corporations, etc.) you should address whether and specify how (e.g., limitation on sharing or use) data from those organizations or interests will be collected, managed, and shared across sectors or with the public, if appropriate. Identify candidate data that is expected to be shared, used, and used for other purposes by the participating project partners or with the public. Describe the terms and conditions that exist or will be established and managed in partnership agreements, data or information sharing agreements, agency specific policies and operating procedures to establish and maintain the systems and interfaces to maintain the integrity of the data and share the information identified in the proposal.
10. Describe your approach for using existing standards, architectures, and certification processes for ITS and connected vehicle based technologies and plans for documenting experiences and cooperating with architecture and standards developers to improve the quality of these products based on lessons learned in deployment.
11. Provide measurable goals and objectives for your vision and describe your approach for monitoring the impact of the demonstration on mobility, safety, efficiency, sustainability, and climate change.
Note: The selected city for the demonstration will be responsible for identifying a set of targeted performance measures that relate to the primary impact of their proposed deployment. The system deployed must be capable of generating the data needed to calculate these measures over time – that is, to show how well the system is performing with respect to these target measures. Independent evaluation will also be required to validate site system performance with respect to the targeted measures, to collect or infer contextual data that allows for the isolation and mitigation of confounding factors, and to provide supplementary evaluation with respect to a broader set of safety, environmental, mobility and public agency efficiency measures of interest to USDOT. Sites are responsible for supporting the independent evaluator’s access to the site and to site staff to conduct evaluation-related experiments, interviews, and surveys.
12. Provide evidence that establishes your capacity to take on a project of this magnitude, including executive commitment, workforce capacity, degree of infrastructure readiness, data and performance management capabilities.
13. Describe any opportunities to leverage Federal resources through cost share, in-kind donations, and partnering.
