V2V Safety Framework
3
Connected Vehicle Environment
  • Full deployment –  all vehicles capable of communicating with each other


  • Model Deployment –  subset of all vehicles capable of communicating with each other
4
Scoping the Model Deployment
  • Question: What should be the scope of the Model Deployment to gather enough data?




  • Conducted analysis using prior field test results
    • 3 Forward Collision Warning alerts during treatment period
5
Results of Scoping Analysis
  • Requires careful selection of test area
  • Requires careful selection of test participants as well to ensure interactions
6
Experimental Design – Recruitment
  • Approaches for Recruiting Participants
    • UoM Medical Center
    • Ann Arbor city school system

  • Variety of Interactions
    • Following
    • Adjacent
    • Crossing
7
Simulating the Experimental Design
  • Ann Arbor Trip Tables
    • Provided by Washtenaw Area Transportation Study



  • TRANSIMS Model
    • Ran model for 24 hour period
    • Output included second-by-second positioning of vehicles
8
Post Processing to Obtain Interactions
  • Forward collision
    • Same direction, same lane


  • Lane change
    • Same direction, adjacent lanes


  • Intersection assist
    • Crossing paths



9
Interactions by Time of Day
  • 64 light vehicles equipped with safety applications
  • 2,500 Vehicle Awareness Devices deployed
  • Hourly estimates of interactions in a typical weekday


10
Estimates of Daily V2V Interactions
  • Assumptions for V2V interactions
    • 2,500 Vehicle Awareness Devices are deployed
    • Vehicle speeds > 25 mph
    • Vehicles are within 30 meters of each other
11
Total Safety Alerts Estimated
  • How do the interactions relate to safety alerts generated by the applications?
  • Developed estimates of the relationship between interactions and safety alerts.
  • Estimated that over 6 months, each driver would experience ~3 alerts / safety application



12
Interaction Results from Month 1
  • Devices Deployed
    • 64 Integrated light vehicles are deployed
    • 738 Vehicle Awareness Devices are deployed
13
Conclusion
  • Observed results from the field are comparable with the simulated estimates
  • Simulation Model estimated that the Model Deployment will generate sufficient data for evaluation
