Transition to Connected Data Systems

§Connected Data Systems will support:

□The move from connected vehicle research to deployment

□Crowdsourcing and other mass data collection trends

□Automated vehicles and “connected cities” initiatives

§Objectives involve developing the ability to gather, manage, and use huge amounts of data


	The Data Capture and Management Program has transitioned into the Connected Data Systems program. We are shifting from a research data environment to a connected data operational system uniting traffic management and automated vehicles, and integrating transportation with energy, public safety, and other coordinated public services in a connected society,

	We recognize that several trends in data generation and communication strongly affect transportation, including:

	•The rise of the “Internet of Things” and the role that vehicles play in that network,

	•Connected vehicles of all sorts will connect to numerous other data-driven systems in our society, presenting the possibility of new systemic efficiencies, but also presenting new risks.

	•A transition away from achieving mobility through vehicle ownership and toward accessing mobility as a service.

	•Along with the rest of society, transportation will be transformed by automation – hence a USDOT program to plan for the oversight of a growing fleet of autonomous vehicles – and the integration of transportation into the “connected city” of the future,
