DESCRIPTION

A system of connected vehicles has the potential to transform the way we travel through the creation of a safe, interoperable wireless communications network. The technology will enable cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles to “talk” to each other with in-vehicle or aftermarket devices that continuously share important safety, mobility, and environmental information. Connected vehicles can also use wireless communication to “talk” to traffic signals, work zones, toll booths, school zones, and other types of infrastructure. to learn more about connected vehicles see the U.S. DOT's fact sheet at http://www.its.dot.gov/factsheets/pdf/JPO_HowCVWork_v3.pdf

The Problems Today

Page 2: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

Connected vehicles can help.

They use wireless communication between vehicles and infrastructure to help prevent crashes, make travel easier, and curb pollution.

Page 3: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

All vehicles, regardless of type, will communicate with each other using a wireless technology called Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC).

Page 4: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

Connected vehicles have the potential to address up to 81% of unimpaired crash scenarios.

Page 5: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

Connected vehicles will provide drivers with warnings to help them avoid crashes.

Page 6: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

Trucks, transit, and emergency vehicles are connected vehicles too.

Page 7: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

The vehicle information communicated does not identify the driver or vehicle, and technical controls have been put in place to help prevent vehicle tracking and tampering with the system.

Imagine if the cars in front of you could send you information about dangerous road conditions ahead, such as icy roads, fog, heavy rain, and snow.

Page 9: How Connected Vehicles Will Transform Transportation

Imagine your car informing you of available parking on the next block, your cell phone telling you a cab is approaching, or your car helping you find a rideshare partner.
