The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) connected vehicle research program is a multimodal initiative to enable safe, interoperable, networked wireless communications among vehicles, infrastructure, and personal communications devices. The USDOT and others are researching connected vehicles because of the potentially transformative capabilities of the technology to make surface transportation safer, smarter, and greener. Federal connected vehicle research has produced a considerable body of work to support pilot deployments, including concepts of operations and prototyping for more than two dozen applications. Concurrent federal research efforts are developing critical cross-cutting technologies and other enabling capabilities required to integrate and deploy applications.
