Project Overview：
In line with the international trend of Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV) in intelligent transportation, this study has constructed and implemented Taiwan's first integrated research and application demonstration experimental area for Connected Automated Assisted Driving Vehicles on the highways, expressways and urban roads in Keelung area and Zhongxing Village respectively from 2015 to 2017. This Keelung area focuses on the development and experimentation of Connected Vehicles (CV) in traffic safety and management, as well as energy-saving assisted driving. Jhongsing Village field is further integrated with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to expand driving risk detection capabilities for the first time through the research and development of CAN bus integrated with ADAS and CV Connected Automated Assisted Driving. The Zhongxing Village area also carried out various test scenario designs and field tests with the subject of traffic safety application at the same time to assess the reliability of Connected Automated Assistant Vehicles on the improvement of traffic safety advance warning, to lay the foundation for the research and development of Connected Automated Vehicles and traffic safety application for Taiwan in the future.
Research outcomes：
(1)Completed the traffic safety and management of Connected Vehicles of highways, expressways and urban roads, as well as the construction and application scenario experiments of energy-saving assisted driving experimental field: This project implemented traffic safety real-time warnings at dangerous road sections, deceleration/construction zones, curves, abnormal weather and road sign marking through DSRC communication equipment installed on the roadside and vehicles, and integrated these with real-time signaling time phase seconds broadcast by the roadside controller of the signal controller, to develop the applications for the pedestrian safety at road entrance and avoid running the red light and provide recommendations for energy-saving assisted driving. In terms of traffic management, the project integrated the real-time traffic data of highways with DSRC Connected Vehicle data, to develop recommendations for research & development and experiments to create more even driving speeds and safer traffic flows on highways.
(2)Completed the construction of Zhongxing Village Connected Automated Assisted Vehicle experimental are and the scenario experiment of traffic safety applications: Completed an experimental area for the integration of ADAS and CV Connected Vehicle Assisted Vehicle loading end and roadside end, and the implementation of experimental monitoring and data analysis platform, also carried out the planning and design of Connected Automated Assisted Vehicles in traffic safety application scenarios, as well as field testing and data collection analysis, functional testing, collision time point estimation, reliability calculation, etc.
Promotion of Outcomes and Benefits：
This project organized many forums on transportation requirements and industry requirements during the implementation process, in order to collect multi-faceted experimental field requirements of Connected Vehicles and Automated Assisted Vehicles, and presented the project phased implementation outcomes through outcomes presentations. The research and development outcomes of this project will serve as a fundamental building block and reference for Ministries, county and city governments and industry as jointly develop Connected Automated Assisted Vehicles and experimental environments and assess their impactson traffic and transportation in Taiwan.
