The Vision of the Smart Roadside Initiative is to integrate appropriate roadside systems (some of which are shown here) into an integrated system data sharing network.

If this Vision is realized, all of the contributing systems would benefit from broader disruption and increased data.

For instance a couple of examples could include:
Trucks’ in-vehicle systems could provide data to weather monitoring stations
Electronic screening sites could provide vehicle count, classification, and weight data for planning purposes.
Traffic probe stations could alert shippers or ports of a commercial vehicle’s ETA.
Also enforcement could occur away from fixed locations.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS LEVEL OF DATA SHARING WILL REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL OF ARCHITECTURE, STANDARDS, AND INTEGRATION WORK—THE SYSTEMS ARE THERE BUT THEY CURRENTLY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO COMMUNICATE
