Title:
Development of a smartphone app for smart freight traffic signal priority on urban freight corridors
Abstract:
The research team will develop a multi-purpose smartphone app to augment two traffic research projects: a Private-Public-Partnership traffic data collection system in Arlington and evaluation of an adaptive traffic signal system in Frisco. The smartphone app will be an in-vehicle data logger to collect truck trips synchronized with windshield videos. The truck logs will be combined with real-time traffic data to evaluate both truck and background traffic mobility on a UTA-developed, live arterial traffic management platform deployed in Arlington. It will also be an LTE-based transmitter for freight signal priorities at intersections to explore innovative approaches to multi-modal traffic management in Frisco.
