Vehicle to Infrastructure Communications
§Vision
§Transform surface transportation safety, mobility, and environmental performance through a connected vehicle environment.
§Mission
§Develop and evaluate the systems requirements for transfer of information between vehicles and infrastructure that will enable applications to improve safety, mobility, and management of surface transportation, while reducing environmental impacts.  Establish guidance to assist public agencies in making investment decisions for successful deployment, operations and maintenance of V2I infrastructure and applications. 
§
§Goals
§The goals of the V2I Communications research program are to develop the infrastructure components of a connected vehicle environment and to document the benefits, installation specifications, and the processes and tools that will result in the deployment of an interoperable system.
Within the ITS/JPO Connected Vehicle Program, there are three areas devoted to application development:  Safety, Mobility and the Environment.  Development of the various suites of applications are being conducted under separate efforts, yet many of the proposed applications require data from infrastructure.

V2I Communications is the system-wide effort directed to allow infrastructure components to participate in the Connected Vehicle environment, regardless of the purpose of that participation.  It is a cross-cutting effort that is described by a Vision to “Transform surface transportation safety, mobility, and environmental performance through a connected vehicle environment.”

The mission of V2I Communications is two-fold: to develop the requirements for transfer of information between vehicles and infrastructure, and to establish guidance to assist public agencies in making investment decisions related to deployment  of V2I infrastructure.
