With the increased adoption of connected vehicle (CV) technologies, safety information is becoming increasingly available to drivers. This study investigates three main questions (1) Do CV-based traffic management applications improve safety on roadways with existing infrastructure-based traffic management systems? (2) Can combining two CV technologies have a greater impact on safety than a single CV technology? and (3) Do geometric and traffic composition factors impact the efficiency of CV technologies? We applied a rarely-used CV dataset and conducted a comprehensive simulation analysis of varying conditions and CV penetration rates that studies have not considered. Two CV applications (queue warning and speed harmonization) implemented in the Intelligent Network Flow Optimization experiment in Seattle, WA were evaluated. Results showed that driver safety performance, based on speed metrics (standard deviation and percentage of extreme values) improved under the CV driving conditions. Combining conventional variable speed limit systems with queue warnings also improved safety for CV drivers. Furthermore, the implementation of a single CV application (queue warning) showed positive changes in the aforementioned speed metrics, congestion mitigation, and reduced conflicts. With the two CV applications combined, no significant differences were observed. Additional tests investigated the impacts of lane changes and roadway attributes on safety in the CV environment.
