This project supports the, NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT, the  NYS Thruway Authority (NYSTA) and NYS Bridge Authority (NYSBA) Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) efforts as part of a permanent demonstration and deployment of a regional, multi-agency, real-time communications and roadside infrastructure for existing 915 MHz and developing 5.9GHz Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) based systems.   The project builds upon the previous and ongoing national VII efforts which focus almost exclusively on passenger vehicles, and will assist with the integration of the commercial vehicle industry’s operational requirements, as reflected by the Federal CVISN, Expanded CVISN and Smart Roadside initiatives, into the national VII program. The commercial vehicle based operational functionalities to be pursued include various driver and vehicle based data exchanges that build upon previous and ongoing research efforts such as the I-95 Corridor Coalition funded project NCSHP/Volvo Enforcement Application of Commercial Vehicle to Infrastructure Communication: Vehicle to Roadside. This proposed program will advance the previously demonstrated effort using a permanently deployed VII/CVII corridor utilizing the future ITS standard 5.9GHz DSRC technology and infrastructure. This project builds off the work conducted in the I-95/North Carolina project which identified data element requirements regarding driver/vehicle/cargo for communication from vehicle to roadside for commercial vehicle safety and security screening. This system will be developed and tested under real world conditions involving driver identification and verification using TWIC and biometrics integrated with the operating system of the truck; expanding demonstrated dash board light indicators with more direct vehicle safety status information involving various safety data such as tire pressure and brake status; and real-time roadside safety warning information to the driver such as work zone location and speed reduction zones.

 The objectives of this effort include:

• Defining the issues and operational requirements of the commercial vehicle industry as they relate to the national VII initiative and the DSRC based 5.9GHz technology being developed and advanced by the passenger vehicle manufacturers’ consortium;
• Partnering with the commercial vehicle industry and VII stakeholders including the private sector partners involved in the development and design of the VII program to help develop, deploy, test and demonstrate CVII on a mainline system.
• Designing and deploying the roadside infrastructure needed to achieve the transportation safety, mobility and security goals of New York State and the surrounding Region consistent with the safety and related transportation programs of the FHWA and FMCSA including CVISN, VII and Smart Roadside;
• Leveraging existing investments in roadside ITS infrastructure by modifying it to extend the functionality of the proposed CVII system and to maximize transportation related benefits;
• Meeting the requirements of a real-time information CVII/VII system by modifying the existing communications network as needed to handle current and future information needs;
• Initiating data driven analysis of traffic and safety information that increases the effectiveness of New York State’s and Regional transportation programs;
• Initiating a coordinated multi-agency CVII/VII/Smart Roadside/CVISN compatible plan that is based on a corridors network approach;
• Utilizing system enhancements and improvements to better manage and improve national transportation corridors consistent with the FHWA/FTA Integrated Corridor Management Initiative;
• Enhancing the safety related information provided to the system’s customers for real-time safety concerns on the highway including clearance problems, traffic congestion/stoppage, reduced speed areas, work zones and lane closures;
• Reducing the overall vehicle safety problems and accidents consistent with the USDOT’s safety programs by supporting and enriching New York State’s, and the surrounding Region’s, transportation CVII/VII network operations through enhanced real-time information, integrated communication systems across organizational boundaries, and through data collection and analysis of actual highway operations;
• Enhancing the region’s existing commercial vehicle safety operations by providing additional information and enforcement capabilities to transportation agencies and authorized private sector partners; and
• Enhancing the region’s asset management of bridges and highway infrastructure through improved vehicle and axle weight related data exchange and weight enforcement operations.
