PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Dashboards play a major role to visualize and analyze huge amounts of data generated through transportation and one such is Connected Vehicle (CV) technology. In an earlier work, we built a data visualization dashboard for Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) CV pilot study to assess the performance of deployed vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) applications. The functionality and impact of these applications is experienced by more than 1,000 participants enrolled in the study. THEA CV pilot evaluation team and independent USDOT evaluators use the developed visualization dashboard to evaluate CV application analytics, monitor CV infrastructure system performance, and perform false positive assessment. During phase four of the study, THEA CV pilot collaborated with auto manufacturers such as Honda R&D Americas LLC, Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (HATCI), and Toyota Motor North America to make this technology a reality. OEM vehicles are equipped with Onboard Units (OBU) with various V2V and V2I applications that can interact with other OEMs as well as with the existing vehicles. This work extends the existing dashboard for OEMs to visualize the CV data generated through their individual vehicles, help them assess their CV applications, and make informed decisions about commercialization. We have completely redesigned the dashboard with a new look and design for phase four. The updated dashboard details system status and performance at a much granular level to keep authorities informed.
