Summary
This document outlines the Participant Training and Education (T&E) Plan for Phase 1 of the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s (WYDOT) Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot Deployment Program. The pilot aims to improve safety and mobility along the 402-mile Interstate 80 corridor by utilizing vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technologies. The primary motivation is to mitigate the impact of adverse weather on truck travel through applications such as road weather advisories, variable speed limits, and dynamic travel guidance. The plan addresses the need to rigorously train end-users and operational staff to ensure system reliability, minimize risks such as distracted driving, and secure stakeholder buy-in. The T&E plan targets five distinct participant groups: instructors, drivers of equipped vehicles (including WYDOT snow plows, highway patrol, and commercial trucks), WYDOT Transportation Management Center (TMC) and Highway Patrol dispatch personnel, WYDOT operational and support staff, and fleet management center personnel. Approximately 400–500 drivers are expected to be recruited, requiring valid licenses and specific experience levels. Training methodologies include hands-on instruction via driving simulators and field demonstrations, as well as lecture-based workshops and e-training modules. The curriculum is tailored to each group’s specific role; for instance, TMC operators are trained to interpret CV data for roadside alerts, while ITS technicians receive instruction on maintaining roadside units and on-board equipment. The plan also details strict adherence to Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols to protect human subjects and manage personally identifiable information. Key findings within the plan include the identification of specific training needs and challenges, such as participant turnover and the coordination of diverse stakeholder schedules. The document establishes clear roles and responsibilities for the CV-Pilot team, ensuring that maintenance, updates, and operational readiness are managed effectively across various software and hardware systems. It specifies that training will occur in parallel with the pilot’s three phases: planning (ending September 2016), design and testing (ending September 2017), and real-world demonstration (starting October 2017). The plan emphasizes that early identification of participant issues can influence system design, thereby enhancing the overall success of the pilot. The significance of this document lies in its comprehensive approach to human factors in connected vehicle deployment. By providing a structured framework for training and education, the plan ensures that all participants—from drivers to technical staff—are adequately prepared to operate and maintain the CV system safely and efficiently. This structured approach supports the broader goal of showcasing the value of CV technology to spur its adoption in the United States. The plan also highlights the importance of addressing privacy concerns and securing stakeholder trust, which are critical for the long-term sustainability of intelligent transportation systems.
Key finding
The training plan targets approximately 400 to 500 drivers along with WYDOT operational and dispatch personnel, utilizing a combination of simulator-based, field, and online methods to prepare them for the connected vehicle pilot deployment.
