Abstract:This report aims to investigate and expand on five essential research areas related to connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) testbeds and their contribution to enhancing road safety, especially for vulnerable road users. These areas include validating LiDAR data with CCTV systems, investigating CAV testbeds across the country, real-time communication between roadside units (RSUs) and onboard units (OBUs) for broadcasting static safety messages, leveraging LiDAR sensors for detecting jaywalking events at signalized intersections, and the role of CAV testbeds in identifying vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) conflicts. Each of these research domains plays a vital role in advancing traffic safety. LiDAR validation with CCTV ensures that real-time, high-accuracy data can be collected and verified, improving the precision of safety measures at intersections. CAV testbeds offer a controlled environment to test new technologies and communication protocols, contributing to the development of safer transportation networks. Realtime RSU-to-OBU communication is critical for delivering timely warnings to drivers and thus reducing the likelihood of crashes. The use of LiDAR in recognizing jaywalking events enhances pedestrian safety by identifying dangerous crossing behaviors in real time. Finally, detecting V2P conflicts at signalized intersections using advanced technologies is essential to minimizing crashes involving pedestrians and vehicles. Morgan State University's CAV testbed stands out for its integration of pioneering technologies, including advanced LiDAR sensors and real-time communication systems, which offer valuable insights for traffic management and safety innovations. This testbed exemplifies the importance of deploying cutting-edge technology in urban environments to address complex safety challenges.
