Connected vehicles can help to prevent crashes at busy intersections
We are here.  It is 2013 and the year of the NHTSA decision is upon us. This is a cornerstone of our program since the release of the 2010 strategic plan.  NHTSA has mobilized staff from their, policy, legal, and rulemaking divisions to work with their research division and the ITS JPO staff to analyze the results of the research to date and make a decision on how to move forward.

A similar decision in 2014 is forthecoming.

The decision will be data driven and will include information from the Safety Pilot as well as other research efforts.

Policy research on system security, privacy, governance, business models and legal issues are also front and center to the decision making process.
