• Abstract:
  As a major ITS initiative, the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) program is to revolutionize ; transportation by creating an enabling communication infrastructure that will open up a wide range of ; safety applications. The road-condition warning system is a unique application of VII technology, which is ; to provide drivers with real-time information about unexpected roadway conditions ahead, such as ; accidents, speed reduction zones, hazardous weather conditions, etc. The safety effectiveness of the VIIbased ; warning systems needs to be investigated under various driving conditions. In this study, three ; different types of warning systems: Rural Highway Driver Warning System (RHDWS), Highway Lane ; Change Warning System (HLCWS) and Work Zone Driver Warning System (WZDWS), were designed ; and tested in the designed highway scenarios by driving simulator experiments. The experimental results ; show that all three systems can reduce the crashes in the designed environment. According to the survey ; result, the system is easy for the driver and helpful to them in driving safely under various driving ; conditions. The results of this research will be helpful for the decision making on the application of VII ; technology.
