Through this partnership, Drivewyze provides commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers with real-time alerts via in-cab electronic logging devices (ELDs). The alerts are intended to warn drivers about urgent road conditions, providing them with an opportunity to react proactively to incidents. The primary goal of this research project is to assess the effectiveness of Drivewyze alerts, specifically congestion and sudden slow-down alerts, in enhancing safety and mobility on Ohio's highways. A data-driven analysis was used to quantify the mobility and safety effectiveness of Drivewyze CVSAs. The research team also surveyed commercial vehicle drivers, state transportation agencies, and trucking companies to obtain feedback and opinions on the effectiveness of CVSA systems and identify available alternative CVSA systems. Findings from the effectiveness analysis suggest that the use of the Drivewyze system may yield positive returns on safety and mobility. Furthermore, survey results indicate positive feedback about CVSAs and show that Drivewyze has the highest penetration rate compared to similar technologies such as Global Positioning Systems (Garmin, Rand McNally, etc.), Samsara, PrePass, Motive, Geotab, Trucker Path, etc. This report also provides recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of CVSA systems based on survey data and data-driven analyse

Other title: Compounding construction congestion

Ahmed, Fady Reyad, Ahmed Mohamed, Jacob Wroten"--Technical report documentation page.; "Prepared in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration"--Page iii.; Additional information provided in email: Sate job number 136675.;Final report (vii, 19 pages) -- [Fact sheet] (2 unnumbered pages)This study investigated practices, systems, and tools utilized in the US to assess the congestion impact of multiple construction projects occurring simultaneously on the same route or parallel corridors. The project conducted a national scan of the literature, and an online survey followed by agency outreach via phone interviews. The primary objectives of the project were to: (1) identify the practices employed by state DOTs to quantify congestion resulting from multiple construction projects, (2) determine the conditions that trigger congestion assessments, and the associated Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) used, and (3) identify strategies to optimize resource utilization while minimizing the impact of construction-related congestion. The project results revealed that a limited number of state DOTs systematically assess the congestion impact of multiple construction projects. Identified state DOTs use a continuum of traffic analysis tools, from basic ones such as the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and sketch-planning, travel demand models, to more resource-intensive complex ones such as macro-, meso-, and microsimulation software. Among those state DOTs, impact of individual projects is assessed, and Engineering Judgment is used to compound the effect of multiple projects. Multiple states are currently exploring data-driven approaches utilizing Smart Work Zone (SWZ), Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx), INRIX, Streetlight, and BlueTOAD to assess congestion impact of construction projects. Further studies should be conducted to investigate when complex tools should be utilized, and to assess the costs and savings of developing and deploying systematic processes identified in this report
