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.
