Abstract:The United States and European Union (EU) share many of the same transportation research issues,
challenges, and goals. They also share a belief that cooperative vehicle (also termed connected vehicle)
systems, based on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, can deliver
significant societal benefits for all road users in terms of safer, more energy-efficient, less congested,
and environmentally friendly transportation. Thus, in January 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation
Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) and the European Commission Directorate
General for Communication Networks, Content and Technology (CONNECT; formerly Information Society
and Media) signed an Implementing Arrangement to develop coordinated research programs, specifically
focusing on cooperative vehicle systems. Both recognized that coordinated research can preclude the
development and adoption of redundant standards, provide significant cost savings, and support and
accelerate the deployment and adoption of cooperative vehicle systems.
An EU-U.S. Steering Group, Technical Task Force, and Working Groups, co-led and staffed by
representatives of RITA, CONNECT, and appointed industry experts, are conducting the work for the EU
and U.S. bilateral activities. Representatives from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transportation and Tourism participate in these groups as official observers.
