Abstract:Many states are actively exploring connected vehicle (CV) technologies to improve travel reliability, efficiency, and safety on increasingly crowded roadways. CVs communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure that relay information to and from traffic management centers. A CV’s awareness of nearby vehicles can greatly reduce the potential for crashes. Pedestrian crossing and traffic signal messages can be delivered to CVs and cell phones to improve safety and efficiency. Other CV benefits include route optimization, real-time traffic data collection, increased fuel economy, and improved travel times. State and federal initiatives are advancing CV technology on many fronts, beginning with planning, design, and testing. The procurement process, which involves the selection of system components and vendors before contracts can be negotiated, is an important, yet often challenging, element of each CV deployment, and each deployment is project specific. Project managers must navigate the procurement process for each CV project before proven technologies can be implemented.
