TWG 2: Deployment Research

Chair: Greg Larson, California Department of Transportation, greg.larson@dot.ca.gov

Co-Chair: Rob Bertini, Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR), University of South Florida, rbertini@cutr.usf.edu

The purpose of the Deployment Research TWG is to provide insight into what further research, analysis, and planning studies are needed to be undertaken to guide the states and others as they proceed toward implementation. V2I issues identified by the coalition that relate to topics best addressed through research may be addressed by this TWG. The Deployment Research TWG is intended to collaborate to identify and describe actions to be accomplished (either by the TWG or to be proposed for future work efforts).
