In March 2017, the Connected Vehicle Testbed along I-94 went live. The original project was sponsored by the Roadway Safety Institute and built on the Minnesota Traffic Observatory’s (MTO) existing field lab, also utilizing certain Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) infrastructure. The testbed originally consisted of seven stations, roo
