V2I Road Sensing for Connected Automated Vehicle Maneuvering in Rural Communities

Jeffery Roesler, Associate Head for Graduate Affairs Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering – The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Alireza Talebpour, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering – University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Project Abstract:
The proposed project will merge a recently developed V2I passive pavement sensing system for secondary lane departure warning with an existing CAV platform to perform a series of autonomous maneuvers (including lane-keeping, lane-changing, object avoidance, etc.) in all road and weather conditions and provide localized motion planning to maximize passenger comfort. Mobility, comfort, and safety of passengers will be significantly improved, and a reduction in fuel consumption of vehicles is expected.
