- The USDOT/RITA aims to foster cooperative international research of
intelligent transportation system (ITS) and to support international
harmonization of ITS standards.
- Coordinated research can:
- Preclude the development and adoption of redundant standards
- Provide significant cost savings
- Support and accelerate the deployment and adoption of cooperative
vehicle systems

- In January 2009, RITA and CONNECT signed an Implementing Arrangement to
develop coordinated research programs, specifically focusing on
cooperative vehicle systems.

- One of our most significant achievements is the development of a
substantially harmonized core safety message set:
- The EU Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) has been harmonized with the
U.S. Basic Safety Message (BSM)
- While the messages are not identical, they are now sufficiently
harmonized to require simple software reconfiguration for systems to use
both messages

- A new EU-U.S. report highlighting our joint accomplishments and future
plans in areas such as cooperative vehicle harmonization is available
now. Get your copy from:

- Going forward, the U.S. and EU bilateral efforts will continue to focus
on international standards harmonization as a key outcome of our
collaborative work.
- In addition:
- The Safety and Sustainability Applications Working Groups will identify
critical technical issues
- The Driver Distraction and HMI Working Group will continue to gain
knowledge in safe HMI design
- We will share the results of each region’s individual demonstrations
(such as the U.S. Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot and the EU CAR 2 CAR
Communication Consortium demonstration) to maximize our overall
knowledge and research

- In 2010, RITA and the MLIT of Japan signed a Memorandum of Cooperation
to enhance bilateral cooperation and further the development and
implementation of global ITS activities. Bilateral efforts focus on
three main areas:
- International Standards
- Evaluation Tools and Methods
- Probe Data
|
|
11
|
- Promotion of probe data research and development in both the United
States and Japan through the mutual exchange of information on advanced
approaches to probe data
- Reduced costs for research, development, and testing of applications
through shared experiences and collaborative/coordinated research
- Expedited or immediate transferability of lessons learned from the
Japanese experience in the United States and vice versa
- Increased understanding and quantification of prospective benefits of
deployments similar to Japan’s ITS Spot for sharing with domestic public
and private sector partners (e.g., original equipment manufacturers) in
the United States
|
|
12
|
- Global marketability of products due to consistency and compatibility of
data, probe systems, technology, and practices, and harmonization of
data standards
- Sustained global competitiveness for auto manufacturers and device
makers
- Effective strategies to improve roadway operations, planning, and
maintenance; provide better traveler information than what is currently
available; and mitigate negative environmental impacts
|

|
- The USDOT has signed an Implementing Arrangement with the MLTM of Korea
to collaborate on ITS research.
