Synergizing Roadway Infrastructure Investment with Digital Infrastructure for Infrastructure-Based Connected Vehicle Applications: Review of Current Status and Future Directions

Synergizing Roadway Infrastructure Investment with Digital Infrastructure: Motivations, Current Status and Future Direction

The safety, mobility, environmental and economic benefits of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are potentially dramatic. However, realization of these benefits largely hinges on the timely upgrading of the existing transportation system. CAVs must be enabled to send and receive data to and from other vehicles and drivers (V2V communication) and to and from infrastructure (V2I communicati...

An Evaluation of Infrastructure-free and Infrastructure-based Indoor Positioning Methods with the Focus on Pedestrian Dead Reckoning

The expansion of location-based services (LBS) and their applications has led to a growing interest in localization, which can be done on the smartphone platform. Various positioning techniques can be used for indoor or outdoor positioning. Indoor positioning systems have been one of the most challenging technologies in location-based services over the past decade. Considering the increase of p...

Competition’s Effect on Investment in Digital Infrastructure*

Competition has become a preferred means to promote investment in digital infrastructure. The U.S. Telecom Act, the WTO Reference Paper and EC Directives each adopt policies that encourage facilities-based entry into telecommunications markets to expand service coverage and to accelerate deployment of advanced technologies. Yet despite its popularity, empirical evidence that this policy stimula...

Roadway Infrastructure for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles

Connected Vehicles- Infrastructure UTC

The goal of the Infrastructure Safety Assessment in a Connected Vehicle Environment project was to develop a method to identify infrastructure safety “hot spots” using connected vehicle data. The premise was to show that using connected vehicle basic safety messages to detect hot spots could allow for a quicker detection than traditional methods using police-reported crashes. This is because th...
