RESEARCH TOWARDS IMPLEMENTATION
| -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 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. |
