Modern Vehicles – Very Sophisticated
• How many lines of code in a:– F-22 Raptor:– Average new Ford:
3
1.7 million
10 million

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication: Not Sophisticated
• Hi-tech vehicles
• Low-tech communication with other vehicles– Brake lights– Turn signals– Horn– Flash headlights

![Page 6: VDOTs Connected Vehicle Program Noah Goodall, Ph.D., P.E. Research Scientist Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research ASHE Old Dominion.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5519ddd55503468b0c8b4c06/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication: Not Much Better
• We want to know where vehicles are, what they’re doing
• Many sensors already in the field to do this

Field Detection

![Page 8: VDOTs Connected Vehicle Program Noah Goodall, Ph.D., P.E. Research Scientist Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research ASHE Old Dominion.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5519ddd55503468b0c8b4c06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Field Sensor Shortcomings
• Limited data quality
• Point detection, not continuous coverage
• Difficult/expensive to repair = frequent downtime
• Limited types of data– Aggregated speed, density, and volumes at a
single point

Infrastructure-to-Vehicle
• Difficult to communicate with the driver both in real-time and across a wide area

How it Works
• Transmit data from the vehicle– Captured from GPS, accelerometers,
magnetometers, or in-vehicle sensors
• Transmit to other vehicles or roadside equipment– Cellular, Bluetooth, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, DSRC

Potential of Connected Vehicles
• Three ways to connect:1) Vehicle-to-vehicle:
• Electronic brake lights• Crash avoidance
2) Vehicle-to-infrastructure:• Incident detection• Weather/ice detection
3) Infrastructure-to-vehicle• Broadcast traffic signal timing• Dynamic re-routing

Background
• Rollout of connected vehicles will not be instantaneous
Projected rollout of on-board equipment in US Fleet (Volpe, 2008)
16 years between kickoff and 80%
25
![Page 26: VDOTs Connected Vehicle Program Noah Goodall, Ph.D., P.E. Research Scientist Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research ASHE Old Dominion.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5519ddd55503468b0c8b4c06/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Connected Vehicle Applications
• Lots of connected vehicle mobility applications in development
• Most of these applications need at least 25% of vehicles to be “connected” to see benefits
• Higher percentages = more benefit
Application% Connected Vehicles Needed for Benefits
Traffic signal control 20-30%
Incident detection 20%
Queue length estimation 30%
Performance measurement 10-50%

What it Means
• Problem – Mobile sensors and connected vehicle data are not constant or ubiquitous. There are gaps.
• Solution – “Location Estimation” – Behavior of equipped vehicles may suggest location
of unequipped vehicles.
Equipped VehiclesAssumed Location of Unequipped Vehicle
27
![Page 28: VDOTs Connected Vehicle Program Noah Goodall, Ph.D., P.E. Research Scientist Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research ASHE Old Dominion.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5519ddd55503468b0c8b4c06/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Methodology
• How to estimate vehicle locations– Depends on unexpected behavior of equipped
vehicles – indicates an unequipped vehicle ahead
– What is “unexpected”?– Car-following model
28
![Page 29: VDOTs Connected Vehicle Program Noah Goodall, Ph.D., P.E. Research Scientist Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research ASHE Old Dominion.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5519ddd55503468b0c8b4c06/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Algorithm
• Vehicles assumed to follow Wiedemann car-following model– Widely accepted, basis for VISSIM
• A deviation from expected acceleration indicates an unequipped vehicle ahead
Vehicle B
Speed = 45 mphAcceleration = 0 ft/s2
Speed = 30 mphAcceleration = -4 ft/s2
Expected Accel = 7 ft/s2
Vehicle A
Unexpected Behavior
Headway = 97 feet
Inserted Vehicle(Estimate)
Speed = 29 mphAcceleration = 0
Vehicle C

Testing
• Using NGSIM datasets as ground truth– 30-minutes of individual
vehicle movements– ¼ mile segment of I-80 in
Emeryville, CA
• Designate some vehicles as “unequipped” and remove from data set
