Abstract:

Automated warning systems are not a new concept within the transportation community. There are several projects on the state highway that use the concept of a roadway sensor initiating some type of motorist warning. To date, all of these systems are unique implementations that use one-of-a-kind software for control. The system controller is a custom device which can only be used with that particular project's physical and electrical layout. The department has benefited from a standardized approach to individual field elements such as CMS, EMS and detection loops. A standardized automated warning system controller, which controls standardized field elements in a system environment, has not been developed to date. WTI proposed to conduct research to develop an "Automated Safety Warning System Controller" that will interface with roadside devices such as sensors and signs. The controller will allow for automated data collection and application of best practice algorithms to analyze sensor data and to actuate related warning messages and signals. For instance, wind warning messages might be actuated on a changeable message sign (CMS) when wind speed, as read from a sensor, exceeds a given threshold.
