travel time reliability for freight traffic.
§Enhances safety at
intersections around the freight facility.
Emergency
Vehicle Preemption (PREEMPT) (PFS
funded)
§Adjusts preemption and
signal recovery cycles to account for non-linear effects
of multiple emergency responses through the same traffic network.
§Replacement of optical, 900
MHz, and other technologies used for signal preemption
with integrated V2V and V2I communication systems.
Connected
Eco Driving (ECO)
§Monitors current vehicle
operation versus ideal operation for road-grade, predicted
speed changes or braking, and real-time traffic changes.
§Provides feedback to the
driver to keep the vehicle driving in an optimal manner
(route, speed, upcoming situations to respond to, etc.).
