"Economical Acquisition of Intersection Data to Facilitate CAV Operatio" by Manish Gowda, Walt Fehr et al.
 

Abstract

Cost-effective collection and distribution of intersection data are needed to facilitate traffic operations at intersections in the HDV era and particularly, in the prospective era of CAVs. Existing methods are time consuming and costly. Phase I of this research (executed under CCAT Project Nr. 71) developed a cost-effective intersection data collection and distribution device for this purpose. In Phase II of this research, the device prototype was bench tested in Lansing and field tested at Owosso. It was confirmed that the device successfully facilitates SPaT and MAP data collection and dissimulation to mobile devices. These deployments provided evidence that the device provides public agencies a way to drastically reduce the cost of data collection at their intersections. The technological innovation is that the device provided a much simpler and effective way to collect intersection data. Overall, the expectation is that reducing the costs of infrastructure data delivery will ultimately encourage more rapid deployment of infrastructure data sources. That, in turn, is expected to encourage the entire connected intelligent transportation ecosystem to advance when the potential benefits of the system become more widely available. It is anticipated that could be the start of a rapidly expanding deployment on a much larger scale.
