- USDOT connected vehicle research aims to tackle some of the biggest
challenges in the surface transportation industry in the areas of
safety, mobility, and environment
- Safety | In 2009, there were 5.5 million crashes, resulting in 33,808
fatalities and 2.2 million injuries. Motor vehicle crashes are the
leading cause of death for people ages 3 through 34.
- Mobility | U.S. highway users waste 4.8 billion hours a year stuck in
traffic – nearly one full work week (or vacation week) for every
traveler. The overall cost (based on wasted fuel and lost productivity)
reached $115 billion in 2009 – more than $808 for every U.S. traveler.
Delays in truck operations alone resulted in $33 billion in wasted fuel
and lost productivity.
- Environment | The total amount of wasted fuel topped 3.9 billion
gallons in 2009 according to the Texas Transportation Institute.

- Vision | Cleaner Air through Smarter Transportation
- Objectives | Investigate whether it is possible and feasible to:
- Generate/capture environmentally-relevant real-time transportation data
(from vehicles and the system)
- Use this environmental data to create actionable information that can
be used by system users and operators to facilitate “green”
transportation choices for all modes
- Assess whether doing these things yields good enough environmental
benefits to justify further investment by the USDOT
- TRANSFORMATIVE and INNOVATIVE

- Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Research Projects
- Purpose of Issuing the BAA:
- To expand knowledge of and experience with implementation of ITS
applications to improve environmental performance by leveraging
partners’ research results and investments
- Objectives of BAA Research:
- Foster innovative research on ITS applications that improve
environmental performance, and possibly develop new applications
- Promote capture and management of real-time data that are relevant to
environmental applications development and performance measurement
- Support development and enhancement of evaluation techniques,
performance measurement, and technologies to capture
environmentally-relevant data

- Integrated operational concepts that use connected vehicle and other data
and communications in innovative ways to operate surface transportation
networks to reduce environmental impacts resulting from
transportation-related emissions and fuel consumption.

- AERIS Transformative Concepts are scalable; varying in complexity,
geographic limits, and deployment timeframes (30+ years in some cases).
- AERIS Transformative Concepts consider multi-modal applications
understanding that significant environmental benefits can be achieved by
transit and freight communities.
- AERIS Transformative Concepts include technical, policy, and other issues.
- At this time, AERIS Transformative Concepts are not recommendations for deployment.
- AERIS Transformative Concepts are “modeling scenarios” developed to: (1)
determine potential environmental benefits, (2) understand mobility
trade-offs, (3) assess data needs and availability of data within a
connected vehicle environment, and (4) facilitate
development/enhancement of environmental algorithms.
