This project will plan a powerful research capacity. The research will be centered on data divide and transportation services. It will also plan development of a solution to infrastructure inequality. It will take advantage of strong, existing relationships between the University of Tennessee and its community partners. The planning project will occur in Knoxville, Tennessee. Knoxville is a low-density mid-size city in the southeast United States. The project is a collaboration among three institutions. (1) University of Tennessee is the state’s flagship and land grant university. (2) Knoxville Community Development Corporation builds and maintains affordable housing in Knox County. (3) United Way of Greater Knoxville funds and coordinates many poverty fighting initiatives. Knoxville is an ideal natural laboratory for designing and implementing innovative solutions based in the community. Knoxville deals with social and technological challenges. These challenges drive racial and ethnic health and wealth inequality. These challenges have been made worse by COVID-19. Racial and ethnic income inequality is high in Knoxville. Knoxville faces geographical and economic barriers to infrastructure development and maintenance. These have created a transportation system dominated by automobiles. There is a clear digital divide based on race, income, and rural vs. urban. The project will engage traditionally underrepresented populations. It will create a collaborative team structure and develop and deploy a working prototype. The overall project investigates the viability of convergent systems for transportation and information technology infrastructure. The capacity for communities to use intelligent systems to bridge spatial and technical mismatches in the built environment and expand equitable access to resources is predicated on the ability to coordinate data systems efficiently and share information securely and easily. Moreover, this proposed planning project will demonstrate a process of engaging the community at the front-end and throughout such that a broader group of stakeholders is invested, and multiple perspectives are considered in the development, deployment, and scaling up of any prototype. Such methods increase likelihood of acceptance, adoption, and transferability of technologies and altered planning and service systems. This project will identify key components necessary to develop community-driven intelligent transportation systems. Replicated across other communities, this will lead to development of more relevant intelligent systems and successful uptake among communities. Over time, this will lead to greater technical capacity across communities which they can leverage emerging transportation data to make smarter, more resilient, and adaptable transportation and communications infrastructure-planning decisions. with equitable access to economic opportunities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本项目将规划强大的科研能力。研究将以数据分割和运输服务为中心。它还将制定解决基础设施不平等问题的方案。它将利用田纳西大学与其社区合作伙伴之间牢固的现有关系。规划项目将在田纳西州的诺克斯维尔进行。诺克斯维尔是美国东南部一个低密度的中型城市。该项目是三家机构的合作项目。田纳西大学是该州的旗舰大学和赠地大学。(2)诺克斯维尔社区发展公司在诺克斯县建造和维护经济适用房。(3)大诺克斯维尔联合之路资助和协调许多消除贫困的倡议。诺克斯维尔是设计和实施基于社区的创新解决方案的理想天然实验室。诺克斯维尔处理社会和技术挑战。这些挑战助长了种族和民族健康和财富不平等。COVID-19使这些挑战更加严峻。诺克斯维尔的种族和民族收入差距很大。诺克斯维尔在基础设施开发和维护方面面临地理和经济障碍。这些都创造了一个以汽车为主导的交通系统。基于种族、收入和农村与城市，存在着明显的数字鸿沟。该项目将吸引传统上代表性不足的人口。它将创建一个协作团队结构，并开发和部署一个工作原型。整个项目调查了交通和信息技术基础设施融合系统的可行性。社区使用智能系统弥合建筑环境中的空间和技术不匹配并扩大公平获取资源的能力取决于有效协调数据系统和安全轻松地共享信息的能力。此外，这个拟议的规划项目将展示一个在前端和整个过程中参与社区的过程，这样就可以投资更广泛的利益相关者群体，并且在任何原型的开发、部署和扩展中考虑多个观点。这种方法增加了接受、采用和转让技术的可能性，并改变了规划和服务系统。该项目将确定开发社区驱动的智能交通系统所需的关键组件。在其他社区复制，这将导致更相关的智能系统的发展和社区之间的成功吸收。随着时间的推移，这将提高社区的技术能力，使他们能够利用新兴的交通数据做出更智能、更有弹性和适应性的交通和通信基础设施规划决策。公平地获得经济机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
