The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has issued the synopsis of its connected vehicles pilot deployment program notice of Phase 1: Concept Development under the solicitation number DTFH6115R00003.
 
Connected vehicle research is being sponsored by the USDOT and others to leverage the potentially transformative capabilities of wireless technology to make surface transportation safer, smarter, and greener. These efforts have resulted in a considerable body of research that is now in hand to support pilot deployments. Building on the collective body of connected vehicle research, the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program seeks operational deployments of connected vehicle applications that synergistically capture and utilise new forms of connected vehicle and mobile device data to improve multimodal surface transportation system performance and enable enhanced performance-based systems management. The overall objective of Phase 1 is to set the stage for a connected vehicle pilot deployment that has an observable measureable near-term impact, deployed on-time, and within budget.
 
As indicated in the synopsis, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to award multiple firm fixed price (FFP) contracts. The anticipated period of performance shall not exceed twelve months. The solicitation will be issued on or before 30 January 2015.
