Broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is summarized as follows. (1) Social impact: Transportation is the bloodstream of this nation with its level of importance being second to water. This country?s roadways are public use and the PI?s proposed technology is aimed at maintaining a fair and unbiased information infrastructure that satisfies the needs of both automotive and government agencies to fulfill their roles in public use and safety. (2) Commercial impact: The ability for vehicles to identify roadside regulations and guidance will provide several beneficial factors that will help alleviate driver distraction while aiding in additional cognitive awareness and safety. Additionally, wireless capable road signs can provide additional resources than their static counterparts that will make them more attractive and cost effective to their responsible entity/agency. (3) Technical impact: The project pushes the abilities of ultra low powered devices to extend the idea of location services, thus location dependent information is stored at its source producing almost instantaneous availability.The proposed project is working on further advancing and refining a small electronic device with wireless capabilities known as a roadside unit to meet the regulations of the United States Sign Council (USSC) motorist reaction distance for visual street cues to facilitate safe vehicle responses. Satisfying this requirement involves a novel communication protocol structured around efficient message transmission at ultra-low operating power to quickly detect and respond to moving vehicles with minimal energy usage. The projects communication protocol is designed to use minimal power while maximizing the amount of data throughput to ensure an operational lifespan of a battery powered device for a minimum of 10 years while achieving significant transmission distance. Because roadside infrastructure is standardized there is an opportunity for advanced data management techniques to simplify data transmission and decoding. The proposed system integrates and enhances the current vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication platform by offering another layer of sophisticated physical object identification. As vehicles take on autonomous responsibilities, they?ll need reliable, accurate, and authenticatable information about their surroundings with enough notice to facilitate safe responses.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力总结如下。(1)社会影响：交通是这个国家的血液，其重要性仅次于水。这个国家？的道路是公共使用和PI？提出的技术旨在维护一个公平和公正的信息基础设施，满足汽车和政府机构的需求，以履行其在公共使用和安全方面的职责。(2)商业影响：车辆识别路边法规和指导的能力将提供几个有益的因素，这将有助于减轻驾驶员的分心，同时有助于额外的认知意识和安全。此外，具有无线能力的路标可以提供比它们的静态对应物更多的资源，这将使它们对它们的负责实体/机构更具吸引力和成本效益。(3)技术影响：该项目推动了超低功耗设备的能力，以扩展定位服务的概念，因此，与位置相关的信息被存储在其源处，从而产生几乎即时的可用性。拟议的项目正在进一步推进和改进一种具有无线能力的小型电子设备，称为路边单元，以满足美国标志理事会（USSC）的规定驾车者的视觉街道线索反应距离，以促进车辆安全反应。满足这一要求需要一种新型的通信协议，该协议围绕超低工作功率的高效消息传输来构建，以最小的能耗快速检测和响应移动车辆。该项目的通信协议旨在使用最小的功率，同时最大限度地提高数据吞吐量，以确保电池供电设备的运行寿命至少为10年，同时实现显著的传输距离。由于路边基础设施是标准化的，因此有机会采用先进的数据管理技术来简化数据传输和解码。所提出的系统通过提供另一层复杂的物理对象识别来集成和增强当前的车对车（V2 V）通信平台。当汽车承担起自主驾驶的责任时，它们？我们需要关于周围环境的可靠、准确和可验证的信息，并有足够的通知，以促进安全响应。
