These three locations are leading the charge to deploy advanced wireless communications technology in their vehicles and on their roads in regions throughout the nation. The web sites provide information on each area’s unique transportation challenges, plans for connected vehicle deployment, deployment partnerships, promotional materials, and more.

To help the public visualise their research and to recruit participants, each of the pilot sites has also unveiled new videos showcasing their deployments. Wyoming and Tampa have each produced one video profiling their work, and New York City has produced three videos, %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Part 1 false http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxu29Qbs-zI true false%>, %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Part 2 false http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xL8vlJ5IcY false false%> and %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Part 3 false http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPn-Tyd3sw false false%>.

  • Adaptive cruise control can mitigate phantom traffic jams, says Ford
    July 10, 2018
    Phantom traffic jams can be minimised through adaptive cruise control (ACC) technology, says Ford. These traffic jams occur when one driver hits the brakes and causes a chain reaction of other drivers tapping their brakes which causes traffic flow to halt. Ford conducted a test alongside Vanderbilt University researchers on a closed test track involving 36 vehicles across three lanes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYfXxVn2Oc The motor company says the main causes of phantom jams are human fa
