 This technology is great because it has the ability to save lives. We use roads every day and this technology has the ability to make us safer. With wireless communications, the technology can give vehicles more green time if there's more to spare or an early yellow for a safe stop at intersections such as this one. The way things are now is to use a loop detector via electromagnetic inductance to sense the vehicle. The new way of doing it is to use the virtual detector or a waypoint. A waypoint is a GPS coordinate written in computer code that the traffic signal controller interprets to determine the location of the vehicle. In this research project I help in the mapping of intersections so we can locate the connected vehicles that are approaching the intersection and at a dangerous speed and distance. We have been working with connected vehicle data to generate traffic signal performance measures and so far we have mapped over a thousand intersections just in the state of Indiana. Our research is funded by the Indiana Department of Transportation. The Joint Transportation Research Program facilitates research in collaboration between government, industry, and higher education institutions to improve transportation infrastructure in Indiana. This technology is just one of the many great things happening in the Joint Transportation Research Program. Our future research is to use connected and autonomous vehicle data to uncover new insights on traffic patterns during incidents, weather patterns, and vehicle electrification.
