V2I for Safety Program Concept
  • Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications for Safety is the wireless exchange of critical safety and operational data between vehicles and highway infrastructure
  • The purpose of this data exchange is to not only mitigate motor vehicle crashes by using wireless safety applications, but also enable a wide range of other applications that also enhance mobility and provide benefits to the environment
  • V2I applies to all vehicle types and roadway facilities
3
V2I Roadmap Tracks
  • Track 1  – Applications Analysis
  • Track 2 – Prototype Development
  • Track 3 – Enabling Technologies
  • Track 4 – FOTs & Simulation
  • Track 5 – Infrastructure Planning

Track 1 – Applications Analysis
  • Selection of Applications
    • Stakeholder Input meeting held with AASHTO in Irvine CA – Fall 2010
  • Crash Factors Analysis
    • Draft final report has been received and is being evaluated
  • Infrastructure Migration Study
    • Final report anticipated this spring
6
Safety Applications
  • Running red light
  • Running stop sign
  • Gap assist at signals
  • Gap assist at stop control
  • Speed warnings
    • Curves
    • School Zones and Work Zones
    • Poor weather conditions
    • Variable speed limit locations

7
Safety Applications (2)
  • Work zone alerts
  • Pedestrian Detection by Infrastructure
  • Priority Assignment for EV Preemption
  • At-grade rail crossing (light & heavy)
  • Bridge clearance warning
  • Secondary accident warning
  • Lane departure warning
8
Track 2 – Prototype Development
  • Development of Safety Applications Concept of Operations (Con Ops)
    • Work will be ongoing through 2011
    • Stakeholder input workshop anticipated for winter 2011
    • Select list of Safety Applications for full development of Con Ops
  • Completion of Con Ops will provide required information needed to make a selection of safety applications for further R&D testing/prototyping (2013)
  • Stakeholder input for prototyped applications (summer 2012)
9
Track 3 – Infrastructure Enabling Technologies (1)
  • Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) interface definition
    • Contract awarded to Battelle - January 2011
    • SME workshop - Spring 2011
    • Con Ops completed - Summer 2011
      • Opportunity for broader industry input at this time
    • First prototypes ready for unit testing in Jan 2012 (to be tested with 2 controllers and up to 4 different RSE)
    • Initial SPaT Interface Definition available for use in Safety Pilot - 1Q 2012
10
Track 3 – Infrastructure Enabling Technologies (2)
  • Communications and Positioning
    • Trade studies are underway; stakeholder input has been and will continue to be solicited.
    • Requirements defined for select applications in Fall 2011
    • Unit Testing at TFHRC planned for Fall 2011
  • Mapping
    • Trade study completed November 2010
    • Mapping requirements and prototype work currently underway
    • Mapping of TFHRC planned for Fall 2011

11
Track 3 – Infrastructure Enabling Technologies (3)
  • Integrated Prototype – Spring 2012
    • Linking the communications, positioning and mapping technologies and assessing interactions
    • Installed at TFHRC
  • Reference V2I Implementation – 2013
    • SPaT interface definition and integrated prototype work together to support safety and mobility applications
    • Installed at TFHRC, expanded to MI and other testbeds
  • Backhaul Security
    • being addressed under SE contract
    • FHWA considers network security a high priority and will work with practitioners to ensure that all concerns are addressed

12
Track 4 – FOTs & Simulation
  • Providing input to Safety Pilot-Obtain lessons learned
  • Analyze applications for Field Operational Tests (FOT) selection –  2013
    • Planning for FOTs will occur in late 2012 with stakeholder input for selection in 2013
  • FOTs will be used to gather valuable safety data and assess the benefits for deployment
    • FOTs may be integrated into regional demonstration projects including multi-modal safety applications and dynamic mobility applications

13
Track 5 – Infrastructure Planning
  • Define public agency requirements 2012 thru 2015
    • Stakeholder requirements review – Summer 2013
  • Development of Practitioner Toolbox for Deployment ( 2013 – 2015)
    • Opportunity for stakeholder input on toolbox during development – early 2015
    • Toolbox will serve as guidelines and recommendations for equipment procurement, system installation specs, and summary of benefits
