The 324 US Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) has published a new fact sheet, Connected Vehicle Applications: Safety. This fact sheet includes a brief description of the connected vehicle safety applications that are currently in development or under consideration.
 
The ITS JPO's connected vehicle research aims to tackle some of the biggest safety, mobility, and environmental challenges in the surface transportation industry. Connected vehicle safety applications are being designed to increase situational awareness and reduce or eliminate crashes through vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) data transmissions. The applications that are being researched and developed will support advisories, warnings, and vehicle and/or infrastructure controls.
