Dynamic Eco-Lanes
§The Dynamic Eco-Lanes:
□Feature dedicated lanes optimized for the
environment, referred to as eco-lanes. Eco-lanes
are similar to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and are
optimized for the environment through the use of connected vehicle
data.
□Target low-emission, high-occupancy, freight, transit, and
alternative-fuel vehicles (AFV).
□Allow drivers to take advantage of eco-friendly
applications such as eco-cooperative adaptive cruise
control (CACC) and vehicle platooning.
□Include variable speed limits optimized for the
environment – referred to as eco-speed limits.
□Support the operation of dynamic
eco-lanes, including establishing criteria for entering the lanes
and defining or geo-fencing the eco-lane boundaries,
allowing the lanes to be dynamic.
□Include inductive charging capabilities for electric
vehicles.
