Smart Cities Design of an Intelligent Network Using Existing ODOT ITS Technological Infrastructure On Current Oklahoma City Metro Highway.

Abstract

Highway travel is a constant that is present in the daily lives of a vast majority of the public. Active measures have been developed and are on-going in order to improve the safety of the driving public. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication has been developed for the use in these active measures. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation has developed a system using V2V for real time data collection. The V2V system can be used in conjunction with smart and or self-driving vehicles. The vehicles have enclosed sensor systems that act to either take action to avoid a potential collision or warn the drivers to take the actions on their own. A prototype will be built to allow us to simulate driving scenarios on a highway and various algorithms for the collision avoidance. This will be accomplished by following the four deliverables: (1) design and implementation of sensor system, (2) analyze and design algorithms for collision avoidance, (3) analyze and implement data transmittal protocols for wireless communication, and (4) generate simulation of vehicle to vehicle network on a real highway system.
