摘要: |
The purpose of the augmented Speed Enforcement (aSB) project was to detect and warn speeding vehicle in a work zone and provide wamings to work zone workers. The system developed by Montana Stare University consists of 28 orange traffic drums (called smart drums or sDrums) that were positioned adjacent to the orange cones marking the work zone lane closure. When the system detects a speeding vehicle approaching. it synchronously flashes the orange lights on top of the drums, warning the driver to slow down and the workers of a speeding vehicle. If the vehicle speed is above a set trigger speed, the system activates a pager system that warn the workers of the speeding vehicle. The system was deployed for four weeks near Los Banos, CA to evaluate its effectiveness and deployability. Evaluation of speed data appears to show that the system does have an impact in reducing overall average speed and percentage of vehicle traveling at high speeds. Deployment of the system was found to be labor intensive and time consuming since it needs to be deployed and retrieved every day. This document details the development of the WTI system only. |
