Abstract: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, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) conducted a qualitative assessment of the impacts of the deployment on public agency efficiency. The TTI Team looked at two elements associated with improved public agency efficiency: improved situational awareness by traffic management center operators and enhanced traveler information dissemination. The assessment found that although the number of equipped vehicles was relatively small, WYDOT was able to improve its situational awareness in the corridor. The CVPD Team also found that providing messages via commercial satellite information was an effective way of reaching commercial fleet vehicles in the corridor.
