Project Summary
This project will focus on developing a concept of operations and functional requirements for a connected vehicle test bed for wrong-way driving applications that will notify TxDOT and emergency response vehicles and personnel, including but not limited to law enforcement vehicles, about wrong-way driving events. More specifically, this project is a foundational systems engineering and planning effort focusing on: (1) identifying and selecting test bed locations; (2) conducting needs assessments; (3) developing a comprehensive concept of operations; (4) engaging market suppliers to develop wrong-way driving connected vehicle cost information; (5) creating financial requirements for test bed operations; (6) designing and testing potential warning messaging for fixed signing and in-vehicle applications; and (7) outlining the system design for the selected wrong-way applications.
