System Engineering Planning for a Connected Vehicle Project

CONNECTED VEHICLES

• Notice of proposed

rulemaking on December 13, 2016

• Signal to automakers and

government agencies

• GM moving forward
• Government stimulus for

V2I

– Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment program – Smart City Challenge – ATCMTD Program (FAST Act)

Source: USDOT

Connected Vehicles Connect Automated Vehicles

• Highest Priority In USDOT’s Plans
• NHTSA Rulemaking December that all new vehicles have to

have CV in 5 years. Most Auto manufacturers are planning sooner.

• 3 National CV Pilots and CV in Smart Cities
• Dozens of Applications being developed with technology
• Opens doors for BRT funding for Signal Priority Implementation

$$$

• CAV first proposed 23 years ago
• We are systems engineers for the Tampa CV Pilot, Columbus

Ohio Smart Cities project and CAV Pilot in New York

• Our Aviation has hopped in with CAV demonstrations to replace

APMs

Federal Requirements

• Federal requirements described in 23 CFR 940 mandate that

systems engineering analysis be performed for all ITS systems deployed using Federal funds.

• Many ASCT products are considered for proprietary purchase,

which, when using Federal funds, requires justification in accordance with 23 CFR 635.411.

• Proper systems engineering documentation provides such

justification.

Connected Vehicle Feasibility and Evaluation

• Identify the driving need for CV
• Evaluate vendor products for application desired (Denso,

Delphi, Veniam, Savari, Lear, Wave Mobile, etc.)

• Evaluate other enabling technologies for application (UWB)
• Model algorithms to be used on VisSim or other tools
• Future Proof the deployments for other applications (SPaT,

signal notification to vehicles, Basic Safety Message, vehicle warning, vehicle automation, etc.)

• Coordination deployments with other agencies
• Evaluate costs and funding sources $$

NJDOT Systems Engineering Document Overview

NJDOT Systems Engineering Review Form (SERF)

• A “corridor-specific” document that addresses the operations,

strategies and stakeholders of the proposed system.

• Document is in a question/answer format
• A. Project Description
• B. Project Objective(s)
• C. Concept of Operations
• D. Verification and Validation Requirements
• E. Adaptive Recommendations
• F. Alternatives Considered
• G. Currently Available Adaptive Systems
• H. Appendices (I – VIII)

Concept of Operations Overview

• Developed from a user perspective (stakeholder meetings)
• High-level document that can be understood by a general

audience

• Intended to establish the functional and operational

requirements and the Adaptive operational and support environments

• Includes scenarios related to the project
• Needs statements are attached as an appendix to the ConOps

Needs Statements

• Needs are listed to identify how the System

Engineering Requirements are to be met

• Each needs statement should reference to the

System Engineering Requirement where possible

• The Needs Statements were revised significantly

and both the System Engineering Requirements and the Validation Plan are dependent on them

System Requirements Overview

• Intended for technical staff, system users, system designers,

and vendors

• Describes WHAT needs to be achieved by the system
• It specifically does not describe HOW a system will satisfy

needs

• Made to be “procedural” and generic for application to all

Adaptive projects

Connected Vehicles - SPaT Signal Priority

Traffic Signal Equipped DSRC Radio Bus with Connected Vehicle Device

Local Bus to Signal Approach

This approach requires a DSRC radio installed in the vehicle and will work with DSRC Signal Priority and Timing (SPaT) Intersections. May need Ultra-wideband added to improve lane accuracy especially in urban canyon. Can do pedestrian detection as well.

Connected Vehicle (V2I)

Connected Vehicle Applications · Pedestrian in Signalized Crosswalk Warning (Transit) · Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) · Left Turn Assist (LTA) · Vehicle Turning Right in Front of Bus Warning (Transit) · Eco-Approach and Departure at Signalized Intersections · Eco-Traffic Signal Timing · Eco-Traffic Signal Priority · Operations Communications
