Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Operations Research and Development
Team:	Trans Enabling Technologies Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Not Applicable
Project Findings:	Data not yet available
Project Description:	This project aims to conduct the foundational research and to prepare for the development and field testing/demonstration identification of an Integrated Network Flow Optimization (INFLO). The INFLO bundle consists of the following high-priority applications:Queue Warning (Q-WARN)Dynamic Speed harmonization (SPD-HARM)Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC)
Laboratories:	Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory
Start Date:	September 14, 2011
End Date:	September 30, 2012
Funding Amount:	$374,692.00
FHWA Program Name:	Other
Goals:	The key project objective is to conduct the foundational analysis and design necessary to fully prepare for a field test/demonstration of an Integrated Network Flow Optimization (INFLO).
Project Type:	Offsite
Background Information:	It is envisioned that all three applications will be applicable to light vehicles, transit vehicles, and medium and heavy duty trucks. The three applications may be implemented with varying levels of complexities and inter-relationships. These levels of complexity and potential interaction may change over time as underlying technologies mature and new forms of multi-source data become available or more widespread.
Test Methodology:	Develop a Concept of Operations (ConOps) and test for readiness.
