EmergingTech

Smart Columbus is always looking over the horizon and finding new innovations to help us better meet our city’s evolving challenges and further establish Columbus as a city of the future.

Our mission is ongoing. Today’s technology won’t solve tomorrow’s challenges, so we’re laying the foundation for what will come next by establishing an ecosystem of forward-thinking partners and creating a smarter, more effective path to finding and utilizing emerging technologies.

We’re always exploring the most innovate technologies out there for our city, including:

Connected Vehicle Environment

A connected vehicle environment will allow vehicles and traffic signals to “talk” to each other, alerting drivers to potential hazards, allowing emergency vehicles to move through intersections quicker, and enabling traffic managers to adjust operations.

Emerging Tech Mobility

Self-Driving Shuttles

We will educate our community on autonomous vehicle technology and use self-driving shuttles to connect residents to jobs and community resources to help them live their best lives.
