Dashboard

Slow and Fast Moving vehicles

Moving vehicle detection has become increasingly important in transportation management and road infrastructure development. State-of-the-art moving vehicle detection techniques require multi-frame images or at least a stereo pair of aerial photos for moving information extraction. When we consider a heterogeneous traffic flow, there are two types of vehicles – the fast vehicle and the slow vehicle. The maximum vehicle speed in free flow of fast vehicle is higher than the one for a slow vehicle.

A slow moving vehicle (or SMV) is a vehicle or caravan of vehicles operated on a street or highway at speeds slower than that of other motorized traffic.Likewise, fast moving vehicles (FMV) are those vehicles which travel at a much faster pace and cover the same distance in a shorter time.Traffic image sensors can measure vehicle positions and vehicle movements on multilane. By using traffic image sensors, we can expect to realize automatic traffic flow surveillance to find traffic incidents without time delay. The accuracy of moving vehicle detection relies on the techniques of satellite sensor model refinement, image resolution, accuracy of vehicle image coordinates, accuracy of satellite time interval between Pan and MS, and DEM accuracy. This sensor imaging can at spot determine how many slow or fast moving vehicles are approaching a signal at a point in time like in a dashboard. This helps in re-defining the signal controls to avoid traffic congestion.

DSRC

Dedicated Short Range Communications

We support DSRC & cellular based V2X such as LTE-V + 5G.

We support DSRC & cellular based V2X such as LTE-V + 5G.


DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) is a two-way short- to- medium-range wireless communications capability that permits very high data transmission critical in communications-based active safety applications. In Report and Order FCC-03-324, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated 75 MHz of spectrum in the 5.9 GHz band for use by Intelligent Transportations Systems (ITS) vehicle safety and mobility applications.

DSRC based communications is a major research priority of the Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) at the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). The cross-modal program is conducting research using DSRC and other wireless communications technologies to ensure safe, interoperable connectivity to help prevent vehicular crashes of all types and to enhance mobility and environmental benefits across all transportation system modes.

The U.S. DOT’s commitment to DSRC for active safety communications contributes to safer driving. Vehicle safety applications that use vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications need secure, wireless interface dependability in extreme weather conditions, and short time delays; all of which are facilitated by DSRC.

DSRC was developed with a primary goal of enabling technologies that support safety applications and communication between vehicle-based devices and infrastructure to reduce collisions. DSRC is the only short-range wireless alternative today that provides:


Designated licensed bandwidth: For secure, reliable communications to take place. It is primarily allocated for vehicle safety applications by FCC Report and Order FCC 03-324.

Fast Network Acquisition: Active safety applications require the immediate establishment of communication and frequent updates

Low Latency: Active safety applications must recognize each other and transmit messages to each other in milliseconds without delay.

High Reliability when Required: Active safety applications require a high level of link reliability. DSRC works in high vehicle speed mobility conditions and delivers performance immune to extreme weather conditions (e.g. rain, fog, snow, etc.).

Priority for Safety Applications: Safety applications on DSRC are given priority over non-safety applications.

Interoperability: DSRC ensures interoperability, which is the key to successful deployment of active safety applications, using widely accepted standards. It supports both V2V and V2I communications.

Security and Privacy: DSRC provides safety message authentication and privacy.


DSRC enables the most reliable, high speed vehicle-based technology for crash prevention safety applications

DSRC provides for a broad cross-section of dedicated connectivity options for surface transportation safety

DSRC based communications serves as the basis for connected vehicle safety and mobility application integration

V2V

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications

V2V is a crash avoidance technology

V2V


V2V is a crash avoidance technology, which relies on communication of information between nearby vehicles to potentially warn drivers about dangerous situations that could lead to a crash. For example, V2V could help warn a driver that a vehicle up ahead is braking and they need to slow down, or let a driver know that it’s not safe to proceed through an intersection because another car (yet unseen by the driver) is quickly approaching.

V2V communications systems are composed of devices, installed in vehicles, that use dedicated short-range radio communication (DSRC) to exchange messages containing vehicle information (e.g., vehicle’s speed, heading, braking status). V2V devices use this information from other vehicles and determine if a warning to the vehicle’s driver is needed, which could prevent a vehicle crash.

V2V messages have a range of approximately 300 meters, which exceeds the capabilities of systems with ultrasonic sensors, cameras, and radar – in some cases, by nearly twice the distance, allowing more time to warn drivers. In addition, these radio messages can “see” around corners or “through” other vehicles addressing, for example, scenarios such as those where an oncoming vehicle emerges from behind a truck, or perhaps from a blind alley. In those situations, V2V communications can detect the threat much earlier than radar or camera sensors.

V2I

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure

V2I

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communications for Safety is the wireless exchange of critical safety and operational data between vehicles and roadway infrastructure, intended primarily to avoid motor vehicle crashes.


Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communications for Safety is the wireless exchange of critical safety and operational data between vehicles and roadway infrastructure, intended primarily to avoid motor vehicle crashes.

V2I communications for safety is a key research program of the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) program within the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (U.S. DOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA).

The vision for V2I research is to enable safety applications designed to avoid or mitigate vehicle crashes, particularly for crash scenarios not addressed by V2V communications alone. Another important objective of the V2I research is national interoperability to support infrastructure and vehicle deployments.

The four major objectives of the technical V2I safety research program are:

  • Develop V2I active safety applications that address some of the most critical crash scenarios, including applications using the traffic signal phase and timing (SPaT) information that is sent to vehicles via a wireless network.
  • Develop a rigorous estimation of safety benefits that will contribute to the assessment of possible safety recommendations and/or guidelines for practitioners.
  • Provide objective data and information that will support decision making among practitioners regarding nationwide infrastructure deployment.
  • Ensure appropriate strategies are implemented for privacy, security and system certification, interoperability, scalability, governance structures, public acceptance, and a sustainable marketplace to effectively propel and sustain deployment of infrastructure components.
