• Abstract:
  For the past decade, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has been ; researching and testing a system of vehicles that can sense the environment ; around them and communicate with other vehicles and with infrastructure. This ; vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications will ; enable safety, mobility, and environmental advancements that current technologies ; are unable to provide. The technology is expected to reduce unimpaired vehicle ; crashes by 80 percent, while also reducing the 4.8 billion hours that Americans ; spend in traffic annually. ; In August of 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ; gave V2V communications technology the green light and is working on a ; regulatory rulemaking that will require the technology to be installed in all new ; light vehicles in the coming years. ; In May 2015, Secretary Foxx announced the USDOT would accelerate the ; deployment of connected vehicles. NHTSA will move ahead of its timetable for the ; proposed V2V rule. The proposal is expected in 2015, rather than 2016. ; In the summer of 2015, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will release a ; V2I guidance document to assist transportation managers and operators interested ; in adapting their traffic signals and other roadside devices so they are compatible ; with the new connected vehicles. ; New cars with connected vehicle technology are expected to be available by 2019.
