Abstract:

Taylor Lochrane, Ph.D., had just that opportunity in July 2014, when he gave President Barack Obama a tour of the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. Lochrane showed President Obama a vehicle he had customized with sensors designed to enhance traveler safety and mobility. Lochrane also demonstrated the Federal Highway Administrations’ (FHWA’s) research on Speed Harmonization, an application designed to reduce congestion using vehicle-to?infrastructure (V2I) communications. This application uses traffic sensors to collect real?time traffic information, which is sent to a traffic management center (TMC).
