Cost/Benefit Analysis of Fuel Efficient Speed Control Using Signal Phasing and Timing (SPaT) Data: Evaluation for Future Connected Corridor Deployment

This project will study the potential benefits to drivers of wider deployment of signal phasing and timing at intersections in Minnesota. What are typical eco-driving benefits? At what market penetrations of SPaT adaptive cruise control vehicles will the benefits justify the cost of instrumenting more SPaT corridors? Which corridors should be prioritized for SPaT deployment?
