  1. The I-Way Project Jonathan Danforth Lindsay Young Dillon Smith

  2. Increase Road Safety • Improve Transport Efficiency Objectives

  3. “We use information from in-vehicle sensors, car-to-car communication, and communication with road-side infrastructure to create a picture of driving conditions in real time.” - Andrea Migliavacca Coordinator of the I-Way Project How Does it Work?

  4. Companies using Trucks to Transport Goods • Everyday Families’ Daily Travel Who can it Benefit?

  5. In-Vehicle Subsystem • External Transport System Systems

  6. Five Modules • Vehicle Sensing Module • Obtaining, processing, and analyzing the raw data that is coming in from the on-board sensors • Data Acquisition Module • Aggregating, combining, and correlating the information previously obtained by the vehicle sensing module • Interfaces of the Vehicle • Enables both vocal and graphic interfaces to input and receive information that would be pertinent to drivers in a particular location In-Vehicle Subsystem

  7. Five Modules (continued) • Situation Assessment Module • Provides information on road situations off of previously obtained knowledge • Communication Module • Used for the real time information exchange that occurs among vehicles to each other and from a specific vehicle to the Road Management System In-Vehicle Subsystem

  8. Roadside Equipment • Only assigned responsibility for obtaining information concerning the road environment where drivers and vehicles can not, with certainty, recognize situations that could be dangerous • Road Management System • Consists of a database server that holds and manages all the real-time road data External Transport System

  9. Improves Well-Being by feeling safe on the roads • Nonusers will benefit by having safe drivers around them • Reduction of gas costs by avoiding heavy traffic • Reduction of Automobile Accidents • Reduction in Traffic Law Infractions Benefits
