Abstract:Smart-driving technologies are evolving quickly and cover a wide range of capabilities. This report describes various test data, demonstrations, and transceivers created and used during the demonstration phase of Project 0-6838. Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and UT Austin’s Center for Transportation Research (CTR) demonstrated the connected-vehicle (CV) applications detailed in this publication utilizing state-of-the-art dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) radios, which were loaded with SwRI-built custom application software in compliance with the USDOT’s Connected Vehicle Program and applicable standards. They also demonstrated roadside equipment (RSE) performance along Loop 410. This equipment along Loop 410 had been installed previously by the TxDOT San Antonio District and SwRI to develop and demonstrate advanced signage systems, and was used here to help highlight the capability of the system to support multiple parallel applications simultaneously. The demonstrations performed at the J.J. Pickle Research Center show the portability of the system and ease of configuration and installation in new locations. The CV demonstrations were presented with the context of how they could be utilized by TxDOT and integrated into their existing traffic management centers and standard operations. The CTR researchers investigated the possibility of using inexpensive CV retrofits for traffic monitoring without relying on traditional GPS systems.
