Research/Project Description

ATIS Implementation and Integration throughout the I-90 Phase 2 Connector/ITS Test Bed Laboratory Transportation Network:

• A fleet of Global Positioning System—equipped vehicles shared real-time data about network travel times over a wireless network and had their path choices automatically updated accordingly
• Researchers assessed the behavior of these 200 vehicles during the 3-month experiment and analyzed the kind of information that can be derived from the data archive that the vehicles created including real-time traffic-responsive path choice, travel times, compliance, and more
• Planners, designers, and system operators can learn much about the way a system behaves and can sharpen their ability to create systems that work effectively and efficiently under all ranges of use

Project features include:

• Investigating wireless communications technologies to achieve cost-effective travel data collection from various modes
• Instrumenting the transportation infrastructure and collecting travel data from commuters Analyzing collected data and producing traveler information
• Integrating the traveler information with transportation modes and transportation management centers
• U.S. Route 4 ATIS testbed

Research/Project Description

Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program:

• It is intended that the Department's CVII Program will develop, test and demonstrate commercial vehicle based data communication witht the VII roadside equipment (SE) Currently under development by USDOT.
• Develop, test and demontrate the necessary and appropriate commercial vehicle on-board equipment and software for integration with the ongoing USDOT VII Initieative.
• The Department and its partners desire to leverage the existing light vehicle based VII technology development to enhance commericial vehicle safety, security and mobility by partnering with one or more Entity to develop, test and demonstrate a prototype system that utilizes the VII architecture and sytem requirements as well as the SAE J1708 vehicle data bus and the standard message sets SAE J1587, SAE J1939 and SAE 2735.
• 13-mile test site on the NYS Thruway Authority’s Spring Valley Corridor
• Development, testing and demonstration of commercial vehicle in-vehicle hardware and software to allow data message sets (DMS) to be wirelessly transmitted via DSRC provided by other sonsistent and compatible with the VII architecture and standards, including the 802.11p 5.9 GHz radio and IEEE standards
• Testing of the communication of the commercial vehicle DMS to the VII 5.9 GHz roadside infrastructure and the VII network being developed by USDOT for interface with the VII system applications being developed by others
• Development and testing of the communication of specific DMS which include vehicle based safety data including but not limited to Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), USDOT number, vehicle position, brake status, light status, tire pressure and any other desireable safety based information.
