Abstract

Four CARMA-equipped passenger vehicles have been added to the fleet of test vehicles by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). CARMA vehicles feature two rear and front side detection sensors, antennas for global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), dedicated short-range communications (DSRC), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and electronically scanning radar (ESR). This article reports on the outcomes of testing of CARMA-equipped SAE Automation Level 2 vehicles; this testing aims to advanced the process of achieving cooperative driving systems (CDA) used in support of transportation systems management and operations research. FHWA developed and executed an acceptance test plan, the lessons from which are reported in this article.
