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, %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 1falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxu29Qbs-zItruefalse%>, %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 2falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xL8vlJ5IcYfalsefalse%> and %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 3falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPn-Tyd3swfalsefalse%>. The videos, available on YouTube, provide a closer glimpse of how the pilots are using the life-saving communications technology to improve the safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability of their roads.
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.
The Driverless Technology Conference (DTC’16), which takes place in Milton Keynes, UK, on 22 November, will focus on accelerating growth within driverless technology and maintaining the UK’s position at the forefront of industry development.
DTC'16 addresses the new business models and use cases that are linked to driverless technology actively being pursued, researched and sold by major automakers and key disruptors in the market alike.

The European Cycling Heroes Advancing sustainable Mobility Practice (CHAMP) project will come to an end in September 2014. The final workshop takes place in Gent, Belgium on 11-12 September.
The CHAMP project brings together leading cities in the field of cycling. Within the project, they have looked at innovative ways to further boost cycling in their cities and enhance local policies.
CHAMP has developed and tested a performance analysis tool, building on self-analysis as well as peer review by ot
RealTraffic Technology will introduce a web-based application called Alert511.com at the ITS World Congress. This application, which generates real-time congestion alerts using video streams available from the web, has been made recently available to commuters in Quebec, Canada. It is based on RealTraffic’s core technology that collects real-time traffic information such as speed and flow using any existing camera network already installed along roads. This versatile solution does not require installation o
