    I-94 Connected Vehicles Testbed Operations and Maintenance
    (Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2019-06) Duhn, Melissa; Parikh, Gordon; Hourdos, John
    In March 2017, the Connected Vehicle Testbed along I-94 went live. The original project was sponsored by the Roadway Safety Institute and built on the Minnesota Traffic Observatory's (MTO) existing field lab, also utilizing certain Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) infrastructure. The testbed originally consisted of seven stations, rooftop and roadside, capable of transmitting radar and video data collected from the roadway back to a database at the MTO for analysis, emulating what a future connected vehicle (CV) roadway will look like. This project funded maintenance and upgrades to the system, as well as movement of some stations due to construction on I-94. In addition, better visualization tools for reading the database were developed. The CV testbed is state-of-the-art, fully functional, and uniquely situated to attract freeway safety-oriented vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) safety application development, implementation, and evaluation projects going forward.

    Implementation of a V2I Highway Safety System and Connected Vehicle Testbed
    (Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2019-04) Hourdos, John; Parikh, Gordon; Dirks, Peter; Lehrke, Derek
    To better prepare for the Connected Vehicle (CV) roadway, RSI has established a CV testbed along a highly crashed section of I-94, building on the Minnesota Traffic Observatory’s existing field lab infrastructure. This real- world testbed was designed to implement and evaluate the next generation of vehicle-based freeway safety applications. The priority of this project was to establish the backbone of the sensor communication network and data collection system along the testbed length.
