• Abstract:
  The Connected Vehicle Traveler Alert System project was implemented to increase traveler awareness and subsequently increase safety of the traveling public by notifying them of upcoming maintenance vehicles or snowplows that may not have been in the line of sight. This was tested by sending maintenance vehicle location data gathered by an automatic vehicle location (AVL) system to a MnDOT server where the data was sent to: • The Transportation Management Center (TMC) which allowed for the display of a dynamic message sign (DMS) message to the traveling public that a maintenance vehicle was ahead. • An application running on a smart phone/mobile device of drivers who were approaching the maintenance vehicle at a specified distance.
