-It’s time to move from laboratories
and test tracks to real world operational capability, and the ITS
Program’s research efforts are squarely focused on this objective.
-
-Have
been working on furthering the research for several years
- Starting in 2004, we initiated research in
the connected vehicle space à VII proof
of concept testing and V2V development
-We did an analysis which
first pointed to DSRC as the sole communications technology but then
modified our position to state that DSRC is necessary for critical
safety of life crash imminent situations and other communications for
non-safety situations
-
-Since 2004 we’ve been working on
Developing applications (both safety and non-safety), Standards and
Performance Requirements, Device certification, Human Factors, and more
recently, establishing a model deployment
-
-Policy framework necessary for
ensuring long term stability of the connected vehicle technology and
capability.
-We
are currently working on three overarching, critical issues that impact public acceptance and
enable connected vehicles to become a reality:
-financially sustainable strategy for implementation, operations, and maintenance;
-a robust
security system that preserves privacy at the highest levels; and
-a collaborative
governance model.
