• Abstract:
  Retrofit Safety Device (RSD) kits were developed and deployed on commercial vehicles as part of the U.S. DOT ; Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot to gain insight into the unique aspects of deploying connected vehicle technology in a ; commercial vehicle environment. These kits enable communication with other in-vehicle (commercial and passenger) ; and infrastructure DSRC devices via a Basic Safety Message (BSM) and multiple infrastructure-oriented messages, ; and various messages related to device security credential management. Implemented safety applications include ; Curve Speed Warnings (CSW), Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW). ; Each of the RSD kits includes a DSRC radio and antenna(s), GPS receiver and antenna, embedded gyroscope, J1939 ; Controller Area Network (CAN) interface, human machine interface (HMI), and interface to a Data Acquisition System ; (DAS). Some of these vehicles were also equipped with a DAS designed to record data from several sources including ; the DSRC radio and safety applications, GPS, the vehicle’s J1939 CAN bus, video cameras, and a forward-facing ; radar. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) was implemented as a 7-inch Android tablet mounted to the dash of the ; vehicle in such a way as to be easily visible to the driver but not impede or obstruct the driver’s view of the roadway. ; The interface is presents both auditory and visual warnings and serves as the interface for the driver to enter required ; configuration information. In order to prevent misuse of the tablet interface, interaction by the driver is limited while the ; vehicle is moving. The report includes recommendations for future development and deployment.
