Signalized intersections in urban areas are complex shared spaces where crashes involving transit vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians can occur. This research explored the potential of automated and connected vehicle (AV/CV) technology to reduce or eliminate these crashes. In Phase III, the smart intersection developed and pilot-tested in Phase II was deployed at the George Bush Drive/Penberthy Boulevard intersection on the Texas A&M University campus. The system was operated, monitored, and evaluated over a 14-month period from April 2020 to June 2021.143
