NCAR, with support from the Federal Highway Administration, is investigating the possibilities of deriving weather and road condition information from vehicle data elements.
• Develop an understanding of current and anticipated vehicle data elements
• Conduct analysis regarding quantity, quality and timeliness of data elements
• Investigate single and multi element requirements• Investigate methods of combining vehicle data elements and other data• Conduct workshops to facilitate weather related VII discussions
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration(VII)
OBJECTIVE: Produce a Feasibility and Concept Development Report for VII
• Relevant data elements• Technical issues (challenges, barriers, etc.)• Contribution to weather and road conditions• Data load and processing requirements• Research topics focused on data utilization• Feasibility of using VII data to improve safety, mobility and efficiency
