Connected Vehicle (CV) Technology for Improving Transit Operations

This webinar provides three presentations from the two research projects related to transit operation: Transit Signal Priority based on Connected Vehicle Technology (TSPCV): Jia Hu TSPCV Experiment at the Virginia Tech Smart Road: Seyedehsan Dadvar Perception and Acceptability Analysis on User Location-Based Transit Mobile Application: Young-Jae Lee and Seyedehsan Dadvar.

The first two presentations are from the project “Next Generation Transit Signal Priority,” which was conducted with Professor Byungkyu Brian Park and Dr. Jia Hu at the University of Virginia. The first presentation introduces the theoretical background of the various cases (progression and conflict requests) of TSPCV. The second presentation shows the results of the TSPCV experiments at the Virginia Tech Smart Road. The third presentation is drawn from the research project, “Applications of Connected Vehicle Infrastructure Technologies to Enhance Transit Service Efficiency and Safety.” The research team developed the user location-based transit mobile app which allows the communication between users, driver, and the transit agency. This presentation shows survey results from potential users about their perception and acceptability of the user location-based mobile app.
