Abstract:
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) is engaged in assessing applications that realize the full potential of connected vehicles, travelers, and

infrastructure to enhance current operational practices and transform future surface transportation systems management. This effort, known as the Connected Vehicle

Program, is a collaborative initiative spanning the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal

Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA). At its foundation is a communications network that supports vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and

vehicle or infrastructure-to-device (X2D) communications. Onboard equipment (OBE) units consist of connected vehicle equipment installed in the vehicle capable of

broadcasting and receiving wireless messages. Roadside units (RSU) consist of roadside equipment capable of broadcasting and receiving wireless messages from

vehicles.

With its unique operational behaviors, vehicle characteristics, institutional assets, and mission to serve the public, the transit community holds a unique set of opportunities to

support V2I applications that benefit all road users in general, and transit riders in particular.

The overall scope of this Transit Connected Vehicle V2I Assessment Study is to: (i) to perform a thorough cross-cutting exploration of transit unique V2I needs (such as data

and communications needs), opportunities (where transit can contribute, for example, to the data environments) and constraints (such as ownership of and accessibility to

certain infrastructures), and then (ii) define and prioritize selected transit V2I application bundles, and develop operational descriptions. This report, as a final project report,

documents the thought process and approaches used in this study, as well as key findings derived from these research activities.
