passenger vehicles, transit, and heavy trucks. This is the successor to
work originally performed under the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration
Proof of Concept (VII POC). The Core System supports a distributed,
diverse set of applications.
Connected Vehicle research at the USDOT is a multimodal program
that involves using wireless communication between vehicles,
infrastructure, and personal communications devices to improve safety,
mobility, and environmental sustainability. The program is the major
research initiative of the ITS JPO which is currently working with the
eight major automotive companies to develop vehicle crash warning
applications using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)
technology. In addition, the ITS JPO is working to develop of myriad of
applications which will use data collected from connected vehicles that
can improve safety, mobility and sustainability. There is also
connected vehicle-related research in the areas of standards, data
collection, certification, policy, road weather, and public
transportation.
