USDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployments: Synopsis Posted

USDOT posted a synopsis on the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployments at https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=9ddd7050054d7d66d4cb486bea180f6d&tab=core&_cview=0. The USDOT connected vehicle research program is a multimodal initiative that aims to enable safe, interoperable networked wireless communications among vehicles, the infrastructure, and travelers' personal communications devices. Connected vehicle research is being sponsored by the USDOT and others to leverage the potentially transformative capabilities of wireless technology to make surface transportation safer, smarter, and greener. That research has resulted in a considerable body of research work that is now in hand to support pilot deployments, including systems engineering documentation and prototyping for more than two dozen connected vehicle applications. Concurrent federal research efforts have developed critical cross-cutting technologies and other enabling capabilities required to integrate and deploy applications. Descriptions of the following relevant research products, developed by the component connected vehicle research programs, can be found at www.its.dot.gov/pilots
