Field Implementation and Testing Eco-Traffic Signal System Applications

项目名称：	Field Implementation and Testing Eco-Traffic Signal System Applications
摘要：	The objective of this research effort is to apply earlier promising eco-traffic signal system research results that were demonstrated in simulation environments to develop a prototype for an eco-traffic signal system and to showcase how such a system can be implemented in the field using the current traffic control technology. As part of the eco-traffic signal system prototype, a secure and survivable data exchange architecture will be developed and tested to facilitate successful system implementation in the field. In addition, simulation analysis will be extended to study the effect of traffic network configuration and structure and traffic demand profiles on the eco-traffic signal system performance and benefits. The eco-traffic signal system developed as part of this project is capable of receiving connected-vehicle data (vehicle location, speed, type) using 5.9 GHz dedicated short range communication (DSRC). It also communicates with the traffic controller on a real-time basis using the National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP) communication protocol. The eco-traffic signal system developed in this project has several innovations. First, the system operates and achieves its potential using current traffic controller and controller cabinet technologies. Second, the system is compatible with applications within the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) connected-vehicle initiative. Third, minimal hardware, in addition to traffic controllers, is required for full system implementation. Fourth, computer driven algorithms are used to implement traffic signal control decisions using connected-vehicle data. Furthermore, the proposed system architecture employs two revolutionary software design approaches: design for survivability and software performance measurement at the task level. The research should result in a highly practical set of guidelines to improve signal timing procedures and arterial operations to reduce fuel consumption and vehicular emissions. The project supports Tranlive's Goal 1: Integrate real-time data systems and advanced transportation applications to better manage congestion while minimizing environmental impacts - Strategy 1.3: Develop infrastructure control strategies for eco-traffic signal system applications.
