A no sound video of the multiple technology demonstrations of the CVI-UTC Connected Vehicle Parking Lot Demonstrations on June 6th, 2013 in Fairfax, VA at McConnell Public Safety Transportation Operations Center.

This video was filmed by Steven Mackay; Edited by Cecilia Elpi; Connected Vehicle Display Programming by Carl Cospel, Jean Paul Talledo Vilela, and Andy Petersen; all on behalf of and funding by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.

Thank you to Tracy Shelton and team for providing the location; Joan Morris for VDOT asssitance in arranging the event, and Tom Dingus for his leadership and vision for the project.

Featured Research

Intersection Management Using In-Vehicle Speed Advisory/Adaptation
Since the initialization of research based on Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) and Connected Vehicles (CVs), numerous in-vehicle technologies are being deployed that make use of wireless communications. These advanced technologies lay the foundation for the proposed research effort to test vehicle speed advisory and adaptation systems on intersection performance. The main idea of the speed advisory system is to display a suggested speed to the driver who has the choice to follow or ignore the advice. Alternatively, the speed adaptation system entails automatic control of the vehicle speed using advanced cruise control systems. Our research group has developed a simulation/optimization tool that manages intersection operations entitled iCACC.
