USDOT offers resources to advance deployment of connected vehicles

A nationwide network of connected vehicles and infrastructure is nearly here. Connected vehicles will be on our roads before the end of the decade. But there's still work to be done to ensure successful deployment and integration of the technology.

A nationwide network of connected vehicles and infrastructure is nearly here. Connected vehicles will be on our roads before the end of the decade. But there's still work to be done to ensure successful deployment and integration of the technology.
 
In June, the 324 US Department of Transportation (USDOT) is partnering with ITS America to host an Accelerating Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Deployment Day during ITS America 2016 in San Jose. The free daylong workshop will highlight the USDOT's ITS program, discuss the "nuts and bolts" of connected vehicles, provide an overview of ITS funding, and discuss the Smart City Challenge and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act.
 
In addition, the USDOT has several online resources available to help advance the deployment of connected vehicles, including: Connected Vehicle; Connected Vehicle E-Primer: Connected Vehicle Pilots: Smart Cities: Research Data Exchange: Open Source Data Applications Portal; Connected Vehicle Help Desk; Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Guidance; Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture; Professional Capacity Building; National Transportation Library; Affiliated Test Beds; Fact Sheets.

    ITS America concerned over use of 5GHz spectrum band
    ITS America has raised con­cerns with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over the potential use of the 5GHz band spec­trum by unlicensed national information infrastructure devices. It wants to protect the 5.9GHz band for dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)-based systems. These crucially underpin the development of connected vehicle (CV) technologies which could help slash the US’ annual tally of six million road traffic accidents and over 30,000 deaths.
