Abstract:Connected vehicle wireless data communications can enable safety applications that may reduce injuries and fatalities suffered on
our roads and highways, as well as enabling reductions in traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. As a critical part of
achieving these goals, the USDOT contracted with a Team led by Battelle to integrate and validate connected vehicle on-board
equipment (OBE) and safety applications on selected Class 8 commercial vehicles and to support those vehicles in research and
testing activities that provide information and data needed to assess their safety benefits and support regulatory decision processes.
An early activity in this project was the 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems in Orlando, Florida. A booth on
Connected Commercial Vehicles at the demonstration site had posters and handouts to provide valuable outreach to the ITS
community. The Daimler Safety Truck had an early implementation of one of the safety applications and was part of the
demonstration of V2V technology. The tractor semitrailer combination was highly visible to visitors, and the demonstrations were
useful to show that commercial vehicles are part of the connected vehicles program at USDOT.
