-Summary:
The USDOT ITS JPO's Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program seeks to combine connected vehicle and mobile device technologies in innovative and cost-effective ways. Ultimately, this program will improve traveler mobility and system productivity while reducing environmental impacts and enhancing safety. The USDOT has selected three pilot sites, where teams are in the process of conducting Phase 1: Concept Development activities leading to later phases (Phase 2: Design/Build/Test and Phase 3: Operations). The three sites are ICF/Wyoming, Tampa (THEA), and New York City.
The ICF/Wyoming Pilot project aims to develop a suite of applications that use vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology to reduce the number and severity of adverse weather-related incidents in the I-80 Corridor to improve safety and reduce incident-related delays. These applications support a flexible range of services from advisories, roadside alerts, parking notifications, and dynamic travel guidance. Information from these applications are made available directly to the equipped fleets or through data connections to fleet management centers (who will then communicate it to their trucks using their own systems). The project focuses on the needs of commercial vehicle operators in Wyoming.
