Independent Evaluation - Truck Platooning Early Deployment Assessment, Phase II
Project Information
The objective of this contract is to support the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO) and its partner agencies (primarily Federal Highway Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) to:
1) Provide technical support service to the Phase 2 awardee during the implementation stage to refine a comprehensive deployment plan, establish partnerships, obtain human use approval, recruit and train truck drivers, and refine and install truck platooning systems.
2) Participate in and provide technical support for the operational readiness testing to confirm that all the implementation tasks are complete and all the required conditions are ready to initiate an actual field operational test, in support of the United States Department of Transportation’s Go/No-Go decision.
3) Conduct periodic quality checking of the data (raw and processed) and performance measures reported by the Phase 2 awardee during the field operational test, to make sure the collected data and calculated performance measures meet the requirements as described in the test and evaluation plan.
4) Develop a plan for expanded analyses that could be performed to provide generalized answers to the research questions related to truck platooning.
