Research Project Objectives
Identify Safety Concerns Related to Transit, Bicyclist, and
Pedestrian Interactions
Identify AV/CV Technology to Address and Help Mitigate
These Concerns
Identify Concepts and Partners for Demonstration, Testing,
and Deployment
Project Outcomes
Case Studies and Literature Review
Stakeholder Meetings and Workshops
Technology Review
Review Local, State, and Federal Regulations
Concept Applications for Near-Term Tests
Identify Possible Partners
Develop Concept of Operation (ConOps) Plan

Concept of Operations
Test Bed Vision
Establish a Test Bed to Research, Develop, Test, Pilot, and
Deploy AV/CV Technologies to Improve Transit, Bicyclist,
and Pedestrian Safety
Test Bed includes the TAMUS RELLIS Campus, the TAMU
Campus, and Transit Systems and Communities throughout
the State
The Vision will be Realized with the Participation of TxDOT,
TTI, TAMU, and Numerous Public and Private Sector
Partners
RELLIS Campus
TAMU Campus
Overarching Goals
Improve the Safe Interaction of Transit, Bicyclists, and
Pedestrians
Leverage Public and Private Resources
Provide Objective and Unbiased Assessments of Techniques
and Technologies
Provide Transferrable Lessons Learned to Prospective
Deployers
Near-Term Applications
Smart Buses with Sensors and Cameras
Smart Intersections
Smart Bicycles with Sensors
Smart Pedestrians with Apps
Smart Bike Racks
Mid-Term Applications
Partial Vehicle Automation
o Sensors and Cameras on Buses Linked to Automated Braking
o Avoid Collision with Straight Line and Turning Buses, Bicyclists,
and Pedestrians, and with Fixed Objects and Hazards
Already Available on Consumer Autos
o BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes, Tesla, Volvo
Long-Term Application
Autonomous Transit Vehicles
Current Project Status
Background Research, Stakeholder Workshops, and
Roundtable Forums Completed
Concept of Operations and Final Report Submitted to
TxDOT
o Includes Potential Near-, Medium-, and Long-Term
Applications for Testing
o Proposes Potential Test Partners
