HARMONIA HOLDINGS GROUP, LLC — Department of Transportation SBIR Phase I: 111FH2

Description

<p>Our goal is to create a demonstrable prototype system at the end of Phase I which fuses IntelliDrive (SM)&nbsp;data with data from traditional inductive loop detectors and uses this data in a modified NEMA&nbsp;TS2 traffic signal controller within eTEXAS Model for Intersection Traffic to reduce traffic delay at intersections.&nbsp; Our work will improve the safety of intersections and improve the mobility of traffic through adaptive traffic control which uses data produced by IntelliFusion, the product of our research.&nbsp;&nbsp; The process of data fusion involves merging data obtained from traditional inductive loop detectors or similar presence detectors and data obtained from a combination of IntelliDrive (SM) Signal Phasing and timing (SPAT), IntelliDrive (SM)&nbsp;Geographic Reference Information Data (GRIS)&nbsp;(also known as MAP data), and individual vehicle data from vehicles equipped with IntelliDrive (SM) Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) On-Board Units (OBUs).&nbsp; It is assumed that the IntelliDrive (SM) Road Side Equipment (RSE) will have as a minimum the vehicle reference number, vehicle latitude, and vehicle lognitude of each operational DSRC equipped vehicle within range of an intersection.</p>
