Abstract:This report provides a summary of the Transit Safety Retrofit Package (TRP) Development project and its results. The
report documents results of each project phase, and provides recommended next steps as well as a vision for a next
generation TRP.
The objectives of this project included developing, testing, installing, deploying, and maintaining TRPs on three
University of Michigan transit buses, including installation of three Basic Safety Applications – Emergency Electronic
Brake Lights (EEBL), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Curve Speed Warning (CSW), and development of two
new Transit-Specific Safety Applications – Pedestrian in Signalized Crosswalk Warning (PCW) and Vehicle Turning
Right in Front of Bus Warning (VTRW); participating in the USDOT’s Safety Pilot Model Deployment; and collecting and
providing data from the TRP-equipped buses to the Volpe Center for an independent evaluation of results. Within the
Model Deployment Connected Vehicle (CV) architecture, TRP employed Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technologies based on Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), to ultimately determine if
these technologies could be combined with the on-board transit safety applications to provide real-time alerting to the
transit driver.
