Description of Research Project

This project will develop dedicated short-range communication systems (DSCS) to connect vehicles with roadside infrastructures (traffic signs, work zone barrels, traffic signals…) so as to not only enhance the safety but also reduce emissions and fuel consumptions of vehicles. The field test beds will be selected in typical work zone and stop sign areas, and simulations in the driving simulator will also be conducted to understand the drivers’ reactions due to this type of short range communication system.

Implementation of Research Outcomes

Developing a RFID based V2I system to enhance the communication between vehicles and infrastructure (such as a traffic sign, traffic light, etc.).

Impacts and Benefits of the Project

The developed RFID based V2I system can improve driving behaviors, enhance safety and reduce vehicle emissions.
