Transportation Operations

Trucks used for TTI platooning projectCommercial Truck Platooning

Create a first-of-its-kind comprehensive freight platooning demonstration in Texas to build upon past and current platooning development projects and demonstrate the safety and fuel savings benefits that can be achieved by applying vehicle automation to freight truck platoons. Sponsor: Texas Department of Transportation

Truck Platooning Project Summary 2-pager

Connected Work Zone

Bluetooth sensor installed on pole next to roadway.TTI is deploying connected vehicle technology along the I-35 corridor to improve safety and mobility through work zones by providing in-vehicle devices to freight companies to receive work zone infrastructure data on lane closure location, capacity reduction, queue lengths and delay to assist in pre-trip and en-route planning for logistics.

INFLO Prototype Development and Demonstration

Develop and demonstrate, through a small-scale deployment, a prototype system for providing speed harmonization and queue warning in a connected vehicle environment. Sponsor: U.S. Department of Transportation Turner-Fairbanks Research Center

Integrated V2I Prototype Development

Develop a prototype hardware/software system to provide a full complement of infrastructure capability supporting V2I communications-based, connected vehicle applications. Sponsor: U.S. Department of Transportation Turner-Fairbanks Research Center

New Approaches for Testing Connected Highway and Vehicle Systems

Develop a platform that the Federal Highway Administration can use to test, validate and verify connected vehicle concepts, applications and technologies in a laboratory testing environment. Sponsor: Federal Highway Administration

Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT)

Develop an interface between traffic signal controllers and roadside equipment to enable communication of real-time traffic signal status and timing to connected vehicles. Sponsor: U.S. Department of Transportation Turner-Fairbanks Research Center

Speed Harmonization Fundamental Research

Conduct fundamental research on providing automated speed harmonization to improve operations and safety. Sponsor: U.S. Department of Transportation Turner-Fairbanks Research Center

Traffic Signal Controller Logic Enhancements

Provide a standardized method to describe and transmit SPaT information, along with integrating available vehicle information, to improve safety, mobility and the environment, as well as support transit/freight applications. Sponsor: Federal Highway Administration

 Wrong-Way Driving Detection and Mitigation Research

The primary focus of this project is connected vehicle applications that will detect wrong-way vehicles, notify the Texas Department of Transportation and law enforcement, and alert affected travelers. The objective of Phase I was to develop a concept of operations, functional requirements and high-level system design for a connected vehicle test bed for wrong-way driving applications. Phase II will begin in April 2016 and includes a demonstration and evaluation of a proof-of concept system in a closed environment. Sponsor: Texas Department of Transportation
