Connected Vehicle/Infrastructure University Transportation Center
Project Highlights

V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure)

Connecting vehicles and infrastructure introduces endless possibilities. Vehicles and roadways can communicate signal timing, conditions, and safety information directly to drivers.

Safety and Human Factors of Adaptive Stop/Yield Signs

Researchers examined how drivers responded to stop and yield signs displayed inside vehicles.

Selected Highlights

  • Participants quickly learned how to use the display.
  • Compliance improved to 62.11% versus 12.44% for traditional signs.

Connected Vehicle Freeway Speed Harmonization

SPD‑HARM algorithms used multi‑source data to reduce freeway congestion.

Selected Highlights

  • Smoother speed reductions mitigated bottlenecks.
  • Lower delay, emissions, and fuel consumption.

V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle)

Vehicle‑to‑vehicle communication enables enhanced situational awareness, collision avoidance, and emergency response.

User Acceptance and Willingness to Pay for CVI

This project evaluated consumer preferences for connected vehicle technologies.

Selected Highlights

  • Price and safety were top decision factors.
  • Early adopters showed higher willingness to pay.

V2X (Vehicle to Everything)

V2X enables vehicles to interact with external systems like smartphones, pedestrians, cyclists, and work zones.
