USDOT Announces Second Connected Vehicle PlugFest March 12-13, 2014 - Novi, Michigan
Dear Colleagues,
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) will hold its second Connected Vehicle PlugFest to conduct vendor-to-vendor connected vehicle device testing on March 12-13, 2014 in Novi, Michigan (venue to be announced shortly). These test sessions help to ensure that devices meet the base standard requirements and level of interoperability necessary for the Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed Deployment 2014 Project.
The first of these PlugFests occurred at Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center in Mclean, Virginia on January 29 - 30, 2014. Additional PlugFests will be scheduled throughout the year and across the country. Each event will feature two tracks: a classroom training track and a laboratory testing track. Each PlugFest is open to all interested connected vehicle research parties; however, only those organizations who have read the Affiliated Test Bed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and the Amendment to the Affiliated Test Bed MOA will be able to participate in the testing track.
If you would like to attend the PlugFest testing track, please return the participant template so a tailored version of the agreement can be prepared for your signature.
Registration will open in the coming weeks. To pre-register, please visit: http://www.itsa.org/plugfest.
About USDOT Connected Vehicle PlugFests and the Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed:
PlugFests are critical opportunities for connected vehicle researchers and stakeholders to engage with one another and aid in the transition of connected vehicle technology research toward full deployment. These events provide an environment where organizations can exchange information, share lessons learned, develop common technical platforms, and enhance products and applications. The Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed gives users the capability to test safety, mobility, and environmental applications, services, and components in an environment using the latest technology standards and architecture consistent with the USDOT's Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) research program. The test bed is supported by the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO). Located in Oakland County, Michigan, the Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed's roadside equipment provides the capability for companies to test applications that have the potential to save lives and provide continuous real-time connectivity among users.
