The project will begin to assess the value and viability of a high-definition digital map of the national roadway network as an enabler and perhaps as a prerequisite for sustainable and equitable integration of automation within the national multimodal transportation system. The project will explore the technical and financial requirements to develop such a national roadway network digital m
Many state departments of transportation organizations and local transportation agencies feature a connected/automated/emerging technologies program in their organizations that leverages highly automated systems in the full transportation system to improve safety, mobility and efficiency.
This project will build off of the Roadway Digital Infrastructure (RDI) models, principles, and strategies developed in the FY23 FHWA project that produced an RDI Strategy. This project will serve as a mechanism and resource for collaboration and appropriate linking of RDI activities at ITS-JPO and throughout FHWA and USDOT, potentially to include multimodal interoperable connectivity (CDA,
This project would entail software integration of the HDS and CARMA platform, so that the HDS would be capable of testing ADS (Automated Driving Systems), Cooperative ADS, and Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA), and manual vehicles, as well as the interaction of AVs with Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).
Other projects have been working on creating the ability for vehicles to engage in cooperative perception to ensure increased safety of all road users, including VRUs.
This project will support the refinement and further evolution of the AASHTO V2I Deployment Coalition concept, and complement it with a set of organization-specific partnerships and work scopes. That will include further correlation of the AASHTO Coalition work with related, existing collaboration mechanisms, including NOCOE FHWA commitments. This project will include development and d
This project builds off the CARMA XIL work but adapts the tools to be more user-friendly, flexible, and keep pace with the development and evolution of other open-source tools. It enables us to build off others' contributions and also reduces future maintenance.
Security credentials are a required enabler for any cooperative driving automation (CDA) applications for vehicle to everything (V2X) communication using C-V2X radios to ensure that users can trust in the validity of information received from other system users. SCMS provides the message security solution for V2X communication.
Assess CDA safety and mobility impacts using a variety of analysis and simulation tools.
Traffic incident management (TIM) is a core ITS strategy that supports equipment and technology applications. Responders interact with Traffic Management Centers (TMC's) and they are increasingly important players in sharing computer aided dispatch data, video from field units, automatic vehicle location data, and vital incident details using other communications means.
