Dynamic Speed Harmonization (SPD-HARM)
•Dynamic Speed Harmonization (SPD-HARM) aims to dynamically adjust and coordinate vehicle speeds in response to congestion, incidents, and road conditions to maximize throughput and reduce crashes.
–Reducing speed variability among vehicles improves traffic flow and minimizes or delays flow breakdown formation
–Utilize V2V and V2I communication to coordinate vehicle speeds
–Provide recommendations directly to drivers in-vehicle
–Recommend speeds by lane, by vehicle weight and size, by pavement traction
