Safety Pilot Sites
  • Driver clinics
    •  Assess user acceptance




  • Large-scale model deployment
    • Obtain empirical safety data for estimating safety benefits
3
Safety Pilot Objectives
  • Generate empirical data for supporting 2013 & 2014 decisions
  • Show capability of V2V and V2I applications in a real world operating environment using multiple vehicle types
  • Determine driver acceptance of vehicle-based safety warning systems
  •  Assess options for accelerating the safety benefits through aftermarket and retrofit safety devices
  • Extend the performance testing of the DSRC technology
  • Collect lots of data and make it available for industry wide use
  • Let others leverage the live operating environment
4
Model Deployment
Obtaining Benefits Data and Operational Experience
  • Major real world implementation starting in 2011 and continuing thru 2013, involving:
    • Over 3000 vehicles
    • Multiple vehicle types
    • Fully integrated systems and aftermarket devices
    • Roadside infrastructure
    • System wide interoperability testing
  • Also to test
    • Prototype security mechanisms
    • Device certification processes
5
Basic Communication Devices
  • Devices that only transmit Basic Safety Message
    • No driver interface
  • Initial procurement resulted in 8 awards
    • 6 vendors made it to acceptance testing
    • No vendors fully complied with the tests
    • Specification was considered by DOT as still weak
    • Updated specification and issued 2nd procurement
  • 2nd procurement resulted in 4 awards
    • Currently underway
  • Qualified Products List (QPL) estimated to be established later this year
6
Aftermarket Safety Devices
  • Devices that transmit and receive Basic Safety Message
    • Driver interface for safety warnings
    • No integration with vehicle
  • 4 vendors currently underway
  • Applications include:
    • CICAS-V (red light warning) (V2I)
    • Curve overspeed warning (V2I)
    • Emergency electronic brake light (V2V)
    • Forward collision warning (V2V)
  • QPL projected for March 2012


7
Roadside Equipment for Safety
  • Transmission and receipt of V2I messages
    • Interfaces with signal controller (at intersections)
    • Supports other dangerous road segment applications
  • Applications supported
    • CICAS-V (red light warning)
    • Curve overspeed warning
    • Collection of probe data transmissions
    • Other (tbd)
  • 4 vendors currently underway
  • QPL projected for January 2012
