Slide 1: Connected Vehicle Pilot | Tampa, Florida
Managing Safety and Mobility Impacts in Integrated Expressway/Surface Street Networks

August 1, 2017 | ITE Annual Meeting | Toronto, Canada

[This slide contains the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority logo, an aerial photo of a highway system just outside Tampa, Florida, and an aerial photo of an intersection that’s been edited to display concentric yellow rings around the vehicles and infrastructure.]

Slide 2: Connected Vehicle Pilot Program

  • Spur Early CV Tech Deployment
    • Wirelessly Connected Vehicles
    • Mobile Devices
    • Infrastructure
  • Measure Deployment Benefits
    • Safety
    • Mobility
    • Environment
  • Resolve Deployment Issues
    • Technical
    • Institutional
    • Financial

[This slide contains a sequential diagram of illustrations that represent Accelerating Deployment of Connected Vehicles and the various sub-categories. These are listed above. There is also another sequential diagram of three arrow-shaped boxes for the Three Phases of Deployment (Phase 1: Concept Development (up to 12 months), Phase 2: Design/Build/Test (up to 20 months), and Phase 3: Maintain/Operate Pilot (minimum 18 months)) that flow to Routine Operations: Post-Pilot Operations (ongoing).]

Slide 3: Participants

  • 1,600 Privately Owned Vehicles
    [A photo of a car stopped at a crosswalk]
  • 500+ Pedestrian Smartphones (Android devices only)
    [A photo of a pedestrian holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a smartphone in the other]
  • 10 TECO Line Streetcar Trolleys
    [A photo of a TECO trolley car]
  • 10 Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) buses
    [A photo of a transit bus with a bicycle on a rack mounted on the front of the bus]

Slide 4: Connected Vehicle Applications 1 of 2

Application Description
End of Ramp Deceleration Warning (ERDW) Alerts driver approaching curve with speed safety warning
Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL) Enables broadcast to surrounding vehicles of severe braking
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Warns driver of impending collision ahead in same lane
Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) Indicates unsafe (i.e., wrong way) entry into an intersection
Intelligent Traffic Signal System (I-SIG) Adjusts signal timing for optimal flow along with PED-SIG and TSP
Probe Date Enabled Traffic Monitoring (PDETM) Uses vehicles as probes to calculate travel times
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Allows transit vehicle to request and receive priority at a traffic signal
Vehicle Turning Right in Front of a Transit Vehicle (VTRFTV) Alerts transit vehicle driver that a car is attempting to turn right in front of the transit vehicle
Wrong Way Entry Warns driver of potential and actual Wrong Way travel direction

Slide 5: Connected Vehicle Applications 2 of 2

Application Description
Pedestrian Collision Warning (PCW) Alerts vehicle to the presence of pedestrian in a crosswalk
Pedestrian Safety Single pedestrian application
Pedestrian in a Crosswalk Vehicle Warning (Ped-X) Calculates the path trajectory of the pedestrian and approaching vehicles and logs an event if a potential conflict is identified.
Pedestrian Mobility (PED-SIG) Gives pedestrians priority with signal phase and timing
Pedestrian Transit Movement Warning (PTMW) Provides informational warnings to pedestrians that a bus or streetcar is starting up/stopping at an intersection

Slide 6: HMI Photos

Mirror display uses sticker to depict location and concept of warning.

[This slide contains three photos of rear-view mirrors, each displaying a warning (Brake Ahead, Speed Limit | 30 MPH, and Safe Curve Speed is 25 MPH | Your Speed is 35 MPH).]

Slide 7: Component Locations

  • Rearview Mirror: Displays safety messages and issues audio alerts
  • Antennas: Send and receive data
  • Short-range Radio: Unit in trunk communicates with other equipped cars, traffic signals, crosswalks, and more to prevent crashes and keep traffic moving

(Actual location of equipment may vary.)

[This slide contains a diagram of a car marked to show the location of the new technology components (rearview mirror, antennas, and short-range radio). Details from the image are listed above.]
