  3. Cooperative Transportation Systems Pooled Fund Study • The Pooled Fund Study (PFS) is a partnership of transportation agencies who have established a program to facilitate the development and evaluation of Connected Vehicle applications • The program will prepare state and local transportation agencies for the deployment of Connected Vehicle technologies • The program will result in the following outcomes: • Development and demonstration of Connected Vehicle-enabled system operations algorithms, tools and applications • Preparation for field demonstration tests • Lessons learned and identification of issues from field demonstrations

  4. Current PFS Membership • Core/Voting Members • VDOT is lead agency with administrative support from UVA • Fourteen Core Members:Virginia, California, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Maricopa County and FHWA • Associate Members • Palm Beach Co, FL; Oakland Co, MI; MTC (Bay Area), Transport Canada, Rijkswaterstaat and North Texas Toll Authority • Liaisons • NCHRP/SHRP 2; AASHTO (strategic and deployment plans)

  5. Cooperative Transportation SystemsPooled Fund Study • The PFS was initiated as a phased program July 2009 July 2012 July 2015 July 2017 Phase I - Research to educate to connected vehicle technologies Phase II - Develop and field testing connected vehicle applications Phase III – Continue develop and field testing connected vehicle applications Dynamic Mobility Application – Develop and field test a Multi-modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System

  6. CTS PFS Deployment Projects • Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System (MMITSS) – Develop and test a system that integrates connected vehicle information and devices into a more effective and safer traffic signal control system for multiple modes of travelers. • Field test in Maricopa County, AZ and El Camino Real, CA • 5.9GHz DSRC Vehicle Based Road and Weather Condition Application – Develop and test a 5.9GHz DSRC application that is used on fleet vehicles for road and weather condition data. This data will supplement the Clarus system. • Field test along freeway in New York • Status • CONOPS – complete • Application developing – in process • Infrastructure deployment – in process

  7. Benefits and Challenges • Benefits • Identify issues that require further research or development • CONOPs and deployment documentation • Deployment lessons learned from other states • Realize benefits to agencies • Potential Challenges • Roadside Equipment is still maturing • Legacy equipment and communications systems in the field • Basic Safety Message is missing key information • Standards are not fully developed

  8. Virginia Connected Vehicle Test Bed

  9. Virginia Connected Vehicle Test Bed • With VDOT’s support, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, and Morgan State University have developed a Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC) • Center will focus on research, education and workforce development for the Connected Vehicle/Infrastructure (CVI) environment • CVI-UTC will use current facilities, equipment and technical support to develop and test CVI applications and technology • Test beds in Fairfax and Blacksburg (Smart Road at VTTI)

  13. VA Testbed – Road Side Equipment • SavariStreetWAVE is a fixed wireless gateway that will be mounted on CCTV poles along the freeway and traffic signals along the arterials TYPICAL INSTALL - ARTERIAL

  14. On Board Equipment • 200 MiniDAS Aftermarket Safety Devices are being developed by VTTI • System includes GPS, Microphone, Inertial Measurement Sensors • System offers Road Scout (Lane Detection), MASK (Head Tracker) and epoch detection • Data is captured over the vehicle network (CAN) • Parametric Data collected by MiniDAS: • Accel X,Y,Z • Gyro X,Y,Z • GPS Speed and Position • Network speed • Turn signal • Brake • Accelerator position • 10 instrumented cars • 4 sedans (GM brand) • 2 SUVs (GM brand) • 4 motorcycles (donated by motorcycle safety foundation) • 2 instrumented heavy vehicles • Semi-truck • Motorcoach Mini Data Acquisition System

  15. Connected Vehicle Test Bed ExpansionWork planned in FY15 • The Fairfax Test Bed will expand to align with the project limits of the Active Traffic Management (ATM) Project on I-66, and will include: • 25 RSEs to expand the Northern Virginia Test Bed on I-66 between Vienna and Gainesville (25 miles) • Recruit and equip vehicles that regularly travel through the I-66 test bed • Specific work will focus on integrating CV data from the test bed with real-time operations in the TOC • Refine and deploy backend communications • Refine the V2I application server • Develop and test cellular communications messages and protocols • Develop, test and deploy data archiving plan (to include data sharing) • Security credential management

  16. VDOT CV Application Priorities • Traffic signal applications • Pedestrian safety • Expanded DMS (or radio) messaging • Incident details • Vehicle size restrictions (height/weight) • Diversion/alternative routes • Work zone safety • Weather-related traffic advisories

  17. Benefits and Challenges • Benefits • Identify deployment best practices • Understand deployment and maintenance costs • Realize benefits to VDOT • Challenges • Data exchange with proprietary controllers • Communications system • Data storage and data management (data governance) • Security and Privacy • Access/Validation/Trust • Managing Transition
