Michigan’s Truck Parking Project Michigan’s Solution to Smart Truck Parking
Project Goals • Enhance highway safety by providing timely and reliable truck parking information • Provide a sustainable and scalable truck parking solution • Provide a secure solution that protects user privacy and data • Maximize user acceptance of the system for truck parking decisions
Project Challenges Private Infrastructure Deployment • Truck Stop Operators (TSOs) require fast results; interest short-lived • MDOT approach to third-party agreements is slow; terms & conditions can be arduous • TSOs wary of government installations on property
Project Solutions Private Infrastructure Deployment • Value is in the reliable availability data - MDOT asked HNTB to “sell” private parking availability • HNTB brings efficiency and speed; system running earlier at more locations • Approach aligns with current real-time traffic data procurement
Connected Vehicle System • Solicited Technical Proposals & Costs from 5 Companies • Kapsch TrafficCom selected • 5.9GHz RSE & OBU • Android Tablet with Application • Current Status: • RSE – Deployed! • OBE – Fit Up, Deploy in July 2014
Private System Deployment • Private Infrastructure • Truck Stop Detection – In’s & Out’s • Verification Cameras • Data Licensing • Private Systems • www.TruckSmartParkingServices.com • Smartphone Applications • Value-Added Features
Truck Stop Detection • In/Out vs. Presence • Error & Verification • Redundancy • System “A” & “B”
