Real-Time Safety Alerts Using Smartphone Sensors
FTE leaders wanted to capitalize on research that has proven that smartphone sensors could be utilized to provide a surrogate for Connected Vehicle (CV) basic safety message (BSM) data. Through this project the team generated multiple successful safety and mobility-centric applications that can provide near real-time alerts to safety conditions along any roadway where adequate cellular coverage exists.
