Mercedes-Benz RDNA
  • Expertise with 5.9 GHz safety applications for light vehicles:
    • Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Proof-of-Concept
    • Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance – Violations (CICAS-V)
    • Vehicle Safety Communications – Applications (VSC-A)
    • V2V Interoperability, Security, and Scalability(V2V-I)
    • V2V Safety Pilot: Driver Acceptance Clinics & Model Deployment
  • Our role in this project:
    • Develop & Implement V2V Platform on Heavy Trucks (DENSO DIAM)
    • Develop Safety Applications for V2V Safety Pilot
    • 2011 ITS World Congress
    • Refine On-board Systems and Applications

Freightliner “Cascadia” Tractors
  • 2 high-roof sleepers, 1 mid-roof sleeper, and 1 day cab
4
CCV OBE Functional Description
  • OBE enables applications for Cascadia trucks by supporting:
    • Safety and other applications’ processes
    • V2X communications
    • Vehicle positioning
    • Communications security
    • J1939 interface for vehicle data
    • Data acquisition and recording
    • Input of vehicle configuration
    • Visual and audible driver notifications
5
Development Hardware Platform
  • DENSO Wireless Safety Unit 1.5 (WSU)
    • Single board computer and 5.9 GHz DSRC radio
    • Supports IEEE 802.11p, P1609.3, P1609.4, P1609.2
    • Single automotive connector: power, ignition sense, RS-232 (GPS/PPS/serial data), CAN, Ethernet, USB, GPIO
    • Dual RF FAKRA connectors for antenna diversity
    • WSU 1.0 software base (Linux 2.6.11 OS)
    • Hosts application and framework modules
    • Provides an API for additional applications
    • Startup on ignition, graceful shutdown
6
Supporting Devices

    • Netway 72 used in past DOT projects
    • Up to 10 CAN channels with physical layer for J1939 29-bit header
    • Programmable via USB to PC
  • DGPS Receiver
    • Novatel OEMV-1 FlexPak-G2-L1
    • used in V2V Safety Pilot
    • DGPS accuracy

Safety Applications
  • Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)
    • Forward Collision Warning
    • Lane Change Assist
    • Intersection Movement Assist
    • Electronic Emergency Brake Light (EEBL)
  • Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I)
    • Curve Overspeed Warning (spline, speed distribution, or min curve speed methods)
    • In-vehicle signage applications (speed limit, construction zone, or other)



11
Forward Collision Warning
  • Helps drivers avoid or mitigate rear-end vehicle collisions in the forward path of travel
    • Remote vehicle (RV) must be ahead of host vehicle (HV)
    • HV above minimum speed threshold
    • Two threat levels when range less than threshold
    • Warning suppressed if HV brake applied
12
Blind Spot Warning/Lane Change Warning
  • Helps drivers avoid or mitigate collisions with vehicles in or approaching blind spot
    • RV must be behind left or behind right to be in blind spot zone
    • HV and RV must be above minimum speed threshold
    • Two threat levels depending on use of turn signal and RV in or approaching applicable blind spot
13
Emergency Electronic Brake Lights
  • Helps drivers avoid or mitigate rear-end collisions with braking vehicles in the forward path of travel
    • RV broadcasts hard brake event and must be ahead, ahead left, or ahead right of HV to be potential threat
    • HV must be above minimum speed threshold
    • Two threat levels depending on range, RV deceleration, and zone
    • Warning suppressed if sufficient HV brake applied
14
Intersection Movement Assist
  • Helps drivers avoid or mitigate vehicle collisions at stop sign controlled and uncontrolled intersections
    • Vehicles must be intersecting left or right
    • Vehicle 1 braking or creeping forward
    • Two threat levels depending on scenario
    • Warning suppressed if speeds or paths altered enough to avoid collision
