Abstract:Two applications of CV technology for improved multimodal winter travel are presented in the Concept of Operations chapter: 1) CV applications in winter transit operations--- mobile road weather-related data and traffic flow data will be collected from CV technology enabled city fleet vehicles, transit vehicles and private vehicles through CAN-Bus, automatic vehicle location (AVL), and sensors mounted on the vehicles. These route-specific data will be combined with point data from road weather information system (RWIS), traffic loop data, and traffic cameras. After data processing and analysis, road segment weather and traffic information will be analyzed by transit operators to provide real-time and forecast route information. 2) CV applications in multimodal commuter winter travel advisories and warnings---the road segment weather information and transit route information will be shared to multimodal commuters through a Smartphone App to allow commuters to select proper trip behavior (trip time, trip modes, trip routes, etc.). This project has laid the foundation to address the innovative use of CV technology for improving multimodal winter travel. Future phases of this project are suggested to include pilot transit and bicycle/pedestrian CV technology applications to compare transit operations efficiency and the costs and benefits of the CV solution.
