Title: Demo: Freeway Merge Assistance System using DSRC

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a novel decentralized freeway merge assistance system using the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology. The system provides visual advisories on a Google map through a smart phone application. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first implementation of a DSRC-based freeway merging assistance system-integrated with smart phone application via Bluetooth--that has been tested in real-world on an interstate highway in an uncontrolled environment. Results from field operational tests indicate that this system can successfully advise drivers towards a collaborative and smooth merging experience on typical "Diamond" interchanges.

Innovative Patient Room Lighting System with Integrated Spectrally Adaptive Control

Technical Report Maniccia, Dorene A. ; Rizzo, Patricia ; Kim, James ; ...

In December of 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy’s SSL R&D Program released a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), that for the first time, contained opportunities for comprehensive application-specific system development. The FOA included opportunities for two applications, one of which was a Patient Room. Philips Lighting Research North America, submitted a proposal for the Patient Room application, and was selected for the complete project award. The award amount was for $497,127, with a Philips Research co-funding commitment 165,709 dollars. The total project value was 662,836 dollars. This project sought to redefine lighting for the patient room application. The goal wasmore »« less
The development of remote wireless radiation dose monitoring system

Conference Lee, Jin-woo ; Chonbuk National University, Jeonjoo-Si ; Jeong, Kyu-hwan ; ...

Internet of things (IoT) technology has recently shown a large flow of IT trends in human life. In particular, our lives are now becoming integrated with a lot of items around the 'smart-phone' with IoT, including Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), Beacons, WiFi, and Global Positioning System (GPS). Our project focuses on the interconnection of radiation dosimetry and IoT technology. The radiation workers at a nuclear facility should hold personal dosimeters such as a Thermo-Luminescence Dosimeter (TLD), an Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeter (OSL), pocket ionization chamber dosimeters, an Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD), or an alarm dosimeter on their body.

Making the Traffic Operations Case for Congestion Pricing: Operational Impacts of Congestion Pricing

Technical Report Chin, Shih-Miao ; Hu, Patricia S ; Davidson, Diane

Congestion begins when an excess of vehicles on a segment of roadway at a given time, resulting in speeds that are significantly slower than normal or 'free flow' speeds. Congestion often means stop-and-go traffic. The transition occurs when vehicle density (the number of vehicles per mile in a lane) exceeds a critical level. Once traffic enters a state of congestion, recovery or time to return to a free-flow state is lengthy; and during the recovery process, delay continues to accumulate. The breakdown in speed and flow greatly impedes the efficient operation of the freeway system, resulting in economic, mobility, environmentalmore »« less

Identifying roadway sections with ''critical'' large truck accident rates

Conference Brogan, J.D. ; Cashwell, J.W.

A technique for merging accident record and roadway inventory files and for utilizing the combined data set to identify sections of a rural interstate highway system that have unusually high accident rates involving large truck vehicles is presented here as a prototype of the accident probability methodology. This statistical technique, known as the rate/quality control method, involves calculating a ''critical rate'' for each roadway section. This critical rate is a function of the traffic volume on the section, the overall systemwide accident rate, and a desired level of statistical significance. Observed accident rates on each section are then compared tomore »« less
