• Abstract:
  This Technical Report on Prototype Intelligent Network Flow Optimization (INFLO) Dynamic Speed Harmonization and ; Queue Warning is the final report for the project. It describes the prototyping, acceptance testing and small-scale ; demonstration of the INFLO Prototype Speed Harmonization (SPD-HARM) and Queue Warning (Q-WARN) ; applications. This report also describes the programmatic and technical accomplishments of the program wherein the ; Small-Scale Demonstration fully confirmed the functionality of the INFLO Prototype System in an operational highway ; traffic environment. The system was proven to reliably ;  Capture current location and telematics data from connected vehicles and vehicle speed data from ; infrastructure ;  Analyze the data to detect congestion and determine the beginning and end of congestion queues ;  Formulate speed harmonization recommendations ;  Communicate queue location and speed harmonization recommendations to drivers. ; The demonstration proved connected vehicle data capture and dissemination functionality using both cellular ; communications and DSRC communications. Furthermore, the Small-Scale Demonstration confirmed that the INFLO ; Prototype System has the latency and processing speed to support INFLO application functionality in an operational ; traffic environment.
