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

2. Objectives Increase Road Safety Improve Transport Efficiency

3. How Does it Work? “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

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

5. Systems In-Vehicle Subsystem External Transport System

6. In-Vehicle Subsystem 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

7. In-Vehicle Subsystem 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

8. External Transport System 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

9. Benefits 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
