16. Abstract

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview for the assembly and configuration of Connected and Automated Vehicle education (CAVe)-in-a-box components and give users a comprehensive system design overview. CAVe-in-a-box is a tool that allows beginners to learn about and test data flows involved with emergency vehicle preemption or the transmission of wireless radio messages. This includes basic safety (BSM), Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT), traveler information (TIM), and personal safety (PSM) in a variety of intelligent transportation system (ITS) environments.

Future technicians at community colleges and trade schools, new hires at equipment vendors, bench testers at certification consortiums, and transportation researchers can benefit from CAVe-in-a-box.

This system design document, while providing setup and software configuration guides for the onboard and roadside prototype kits, serves as a valuable resource to gain an understanding of ITS systems. The transportation management use cases and overview of future CAVe-in-a-box integrations prepare users to use this tool and understand how it can evolve connected vehicle (CV) research moving forward.
