The OSADP now has more connected vehicle applications available for download. The OSADP is a web-based portal that provides access to and supports the collaboration, development, and use of open-source ITS-related applications. Together, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) ITS Program and OSADP facilitate the advancement of research, development, planning, testing, and deployment of connected vehicle and traveler-related applications and ITS. The OSADP features source code, software, applications, and resources (e.g., documentation, licenses, data) to support the use or further development of these ITS-related applications.

The connected vehicle operational data environment (ODE) is a real-time data acquisition and distribution software system that processes and shares data from connected devices, including connected vehicles, connected mobile devices, and infrastructure components and sensors, with subscribing applications to support the operation, maintenance, and use of the surface transportation system, as well as related research and development efforts. The following new and updated connected vehicle ODE applications are now available for download:

• Updated! Prototype Operational Data Environment 2.0 (P-ODE 2.0):The P-ODE compiles speed, volume, occupancy, and weather data from multiple sources into a common format for clients subscribing to this feed of data. The P-ODE supports the remote collection, compilation, and integration of connected vehicle data with other sources of transportation related data.
• New! Southeast Michigan Operational Data Environment (SEMI-ODE):The SEMI-ODE software contains four applications developed to allow the data collected by roadside units to be transmitted remotely via dedicated short-range communication to the traffic management system, which has integrated the ODE software into its system, and to subscribers allowed to receive this data.

Public agencies, service providers, researchers, application developers, and others are invited to visit the OSADP at http://itsforge.net to explore the use of these available applications and resources.
