• Abstract:
  This document describes the Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the Transit Safety Retrofit Package (TRP). The ; ConOps describes the current state of operations with respect to the integration of Connected Vehicle technology in ; transit buses, establishes the reasons for change, and describes the TRP in terms of its features and operations. ; To achieve the objective of the study, the TRP project includes developing, testing, installing, and maintaining retrofit ; packages on three transit buses drawn from the University of Michigan transit fleets; developing two new transit safety ; applications (Pedestrian Warning and Vehicle Turning Right in Front of a Transit Vehicle); and collecting and providing ; data from the equipped buses to the Volpe Center for an independent evaluation. ; The specific objective of the TRP project is to design and develop safety applications for transit vehicles that can ; communicate V2V as well as V2I for enhanced transit vehicle and pedestrian safety. Ultimately, it is of interest to ; determine if DSRC technologies can be combined with on-board applications to provide real-time alerting of ; pedestrians in crosswalks as well as right turning vehicles in front of the transit vehicle.
