This track is intended to determine where, and to what degree, V2I may improve
safety, and to establish a process for selecting proposed applications
for further development and evaluation. Note that the output from
the track is primarily a set of potential applications that will be further
developed under Track 2.
The specific items in Track 1 are:
•Completion of the Cooperative
Intersection Collision Avoidance System – Signalized Left-Turn
Assist (CICAS-SLTA);
•A series of independent analyses
that will develop a means to evaluate proposed V2I safety applications
across modes; and
•The selection process that will
be used to identify promising concepts for further development
under Track 2.
•
The grayed arrow is an indication that this is not a one-time process.
As new information becomes available we will use this same
process to determine if other applications should be considered for
development and evaluation in the future. Furthermore, while the focus of IntelliDrive is on DSRC as the communications technology, we want to remain flexible
as new technologies and concepts are developed.
However, that potential is unfunded, and this roadmap establishes the
process by which V2I safety applications will be
developed, evaluated and deployed using DSRC.
