A Novel Red Light Running Warning System Using Connected v2i Technology, Phase 2: Driver Testing on Public Roads

Status: Active
Project Start Date: 08/22/2025

Summary:

The purpose of this follow-on project is to further develop the technology towards general driver use. In this project, we will resolve three main limitations with our prototype work. First, we will test responses by drivers who were not involved with engineering the RLRWS towards use by the general public. We will implement an iterative learning control to adapt the RLRWS warning to the individual driver so that the driver’s response matches the computed desired response. Third, our prototype testing occurred only at a single intersection. We will create a loop of 5 intersections with varying geometries to create more options for testing the RLRWS. By expanding our RLRWS to multiple intersections with more drivers, we have the opportunity to demonstrate its real-world impact and pave the way for broader adoption, ultimately making Minnesota's roads safer for all.
