§Similar to today’s
ITS: adaptive traffic signal systems and traffic signal priority
applications
§Imagine:
□Signal phase and
timing (SPaT) data broadcast to vehicles where in-vehicle systems perform calculations
to provide speed advice to drivers in order to reduce starts, stops,
idling, and to support eco-driving on arterials.
□Adaptive traffic signal
systems optimized for the environment using data collected
from vehicles, such as vehicle location, speed, fuel consumption
and other emissions data.
□Inductive
charging infrastructure located at stop bars enabling electric vehicles
to charge while stopped at traffic signals.
□Smarter
transit signal priority based on emissions, transit vehicle occupancy,
and schedule adherence data.
