Abstract:Connected vehicle wireless data communications can enable safety applications that may reduce injuries and fatalities
suffered on our roads and highways, as well as enabling reductions in traffic congestion and effects on the
environment. As a critical part of achieving these goals, the USDOT contracted with a Team led by Battelle to integrate
and validate connected vehicle on-board equipment (OBE) and safety applications on selected Class 8 commercial
vehicles and to support those vehicles in research and testing activities that provide information and data needed to
assess their safety benefits and support regulatory decision processes.
This document describes the testing that was conducted to ensure that the prototype safety application hardware and
software components were integrated into the four tractors properly: that the systems power up, have electrical and
data connectivity, and that the individual elements operate as expected and data is exchanged and collected
successfully. The outcome of this activity is that the vehicle build process and basic functionality of four tractors was
confirmed.
