Automated Identification of Traffic Detector Malfunctions

Posted by sj765 on December 30, 2020

Sponsor: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)

PI: Dr. Edward Smaglik, Co-PI: Dr. Brendan Russo

Start Date: January, 2020

Proper operation of transportation facilities is dependent upon reliable, accurate traffic sensing equipment; faulty detection equipment can result in unsafe and/or inefficient operation. A recent ODOT project, SPR-781 entitled, “Improving Adaptive / Responsive Signal Control Performance: Implications of Non-Invasive Detection and Legacy Timing Practices” uncovered wide spread issues of data quality irrespective of detector technology (within that work,… Read more

Development of Cost-Effective Sensing Systems and Analytics (CeSSA) to Monitor Roadway Conditions and Mobility Safety

Posted by sj765 on

Sponsor: PSR9 UTC

PI: Dr. Chun-Hsing Ho

Dates: 01/06/2020-01/05/2021

The project presents a pavement sensing system along with a list of promising computing models that can be used to predict pavement conditions using a vehicle-based sensing technology. The project started with data acquisition obtained from the previous field data collection followed by a series of data computing using machine leaning methods to determine a promising computing algorithm. Subsequently,… Read more

The Development of a Cooperative Safety Performance Assessment Framework for Connected and Automated Driving System-Equipped Vehicles

Posted by nbl42 on November 12, 2019

Sponsor: Institute of Automated Mobility (IAM) through the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA)

PI: Brendan J Russo

Start Date: August 2019

The rapid development and testing of connected and automated driving system (ADS)-equipped vehicles (CAVs) in our urban communities raises serious concerns for public safety. To address these concerns, the Institute of Automated Mobility (IAM) established by Governor Ducey in Arizona has embarked on an innovative approach to driving safety performance assessment that cooperatively utilizes both infrastructure and vehicle data. Data from… Read more
