Abstract:Cooperative systems based on intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies
can deliver significant benefits for all road users and the public, especially in terms
of safer, more energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly surface transportation.
Through a wireless communications network, a cooperative system enables
cars, buses, trucks, and other vehicles to “talk” to each other and to roadside
infrastructure, cell phones, and other devices, exchanging valuable safety, mobility,
and environmental information. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology and the Road Bureau of
the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (MLIT) are working
together to foster research, development, and deployment of such a system of
communicating vehicles and roadside in both countries.
