• 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.
