The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s (WYDOT’s) primary goal for implementing the Wyoming Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment (CVPD) was to demonstrate the potential and feasibility of using connected vehicle (CV) technologies to improve safety and mobility along 402 miles of Interstate 80 (I-80) in southern Wyoming. As the lead agency, WYDOT wanted to explore using CV technologies to communicate road and travel information to commercial truck drivers and fleet managers that routinely travel the I-80 corridor. Using data provided by the Wyoming CVPD Team, TTI conducted a qualitative assessment of the environmental impacts of the deployment. There was little evidence, based on the data available at the time this report was prepared, to suggest that the deployment had any direct or indirect environmental impact. This is primarily due to the low sample rate of equipped vehicles in the traffic stream. Because the focus of the deployment was on improving safety and information dissemination during severe weather events, comparing the individual speed profiles of individual fleet vehicles during specific weather events where collisions occur may result in a better understanding of the environmental impacts associated with these changes in commercial fleet vehicle behavior resulting from alert messages.
