INFOGRAPHICS

The Vehicle Turning Right in Front of Bus application warns a bus driver when a vehicle attempts to turn right in front of the bus as the bus pulls away from a stop. In Tampa, a similar application (Vehicle Turning Right in Front of Transit Vehicle) will deliver safety messages to TECO Line streetcar operators to help prevent crashes.

The Pedestrian in Signalized Crosswalk application warns the driver of a connected vehicle when a pedestrian is crossing the street in the projected path of the vehicle. The THEA Connected Vehicle Pilot is adapting this application to improve pedestrian safety at the midblock crosswalk on Twiggs Street near the Hillsborough County Courthouse.

The Intersection Movement Assist application warns the driver of a connected vehicle if it is not safe to enter an intersection—for example, if another connected vehicle is running a red light or making a sudden turn. The THEA Connected Vehicle Pilot is deploying this application to help prevent crashes.
