1 Rural ITS Safety Solution Systems (RITSS)! University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies! 22 nd Annual Transportation Research Conference! May 24-25, 2011! Thomas A. Sohrweide, PE, PTOE! SEH Inc.!

2 Problem! Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, 2008! 455 fatalities down from 510 in 2007! 33,379 injuries down from 35,318 in 2007! Rural areas account for 2 out of 3 fatalities! 1/3 involve single vehicle! 2/3 involve 2 or more vehicles! 2008 crashes cost Minnesota $1.5 billion!

3 Underlying Causes" In Single Vehicle Crashes! Illegal or unsafe speed contributing factor most often cited for all drivers! In Multiple Vehicle Crashes! For drivers through age 64 driver inattention or distraction most often cited! Failure to yield second most common! Over Age 65 Pattern Reverses! Failure to yield most common! Driver inattention or distraction second most common!

4 Driving Conditions! Most Crashes Occur in Good Driving Conditions! 54% of fatal and 2/3 of nonfatal occur during daylight hours! Good Weather Conditions! 61% of fatal and 56% of nonfatal clear weather! Road Surface Condition for Fatal Crashes! Usually good! 10% on wet roads! 15% on snowy or icy roads! Road Surface Condition for Nonfatal Crashes! 60% of nonfatal on dry roads! 13% on wet roads! 25% on snowy or icy roads!

5 Goal! To develop low-cost, readily deployable, low maintenance systems that can be used to improve safety on rural roadways.!

Off-the-shelf components! Solar-powered with battery backup! Modular design! Ease of installation and maintenance! Relative low-cost!

12 System Configurations!!"#$%& '$($%!"#$%& ;$3#+& /*(41$+"% )"*+%"##,%& -.,%&/*+,%0$1,& )"223*41$5"*.&6'$(4"7& )"*+%"##,%&!"#$% )"223*41$5"*.&6'$(4"7 8$9,%: 8$9,%: Detection Node! Warning Node!

13 Driver Behavior Evaluation System Concept! Need to know exactly what the problem is:! System to provide reliable data! Driver behavior underlying the problem! At rural intersection stop signs! Behavior of driver approaching stop sign! Behavior of driver on through road! Speed profiles! At horizontal curve! Behavior of driver approaching curve! Speed profile!

14 Driver Behavior Evaluation System! Hardware! Doppler radar! GPS receiver! Data logger! Battery powered with life of 3 weeks! Up to 4 devices to cover 4-way intersection! Single device to cover each approach to a curve! Software! Analysis and reporting strategies!
