About The Project

Connected and Automated Vehicle education (CAVe)-in-a-box is an educational tool developed under the FHWA Workforce Development (WFD) project. CAVe-in-a-box is an interconnected set of ITS equipment that was developed to serve as training and educational resources for the emerging ITS workforce. CAVe-in-a-box represents an ITS environment into a scaled-down portable kit. The kit can be installed at any location which can emulate an intesection where a traffic signals could be implemented, making it well-suited for application testing in the classroom for laboratory use, as well as real world deployment. The kit contains two major components as described below: a mobile kit, representing the vehicle, and an infrastructure kit, representing the environment of a CAV system:

INFRASTRUCTURE KIT (Roadside Unit Kit)	MOBILE KIT (OnboardUnit Kit)
RSU	OBU
Signal Controller	Controller Area Network(CAN Connector)
Wired Network Switchwith Power over Ethernet (PoE)	Wired Network Switch
Power Supply	Antenna Mount
Tablet PC (Windows/Linux)	Tablet PC (Windows/Linux)
	Car Power
