AASHTO Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis: Preparing to Implement a Connected Vehicle Future
Executive Summary:
The fundamental premise of the Connected Vehicle Environment lies in the power of wireless connectivity among vehicles, the infrastructure, and mobile devices to bring about transformative changes in highway safety, mobility, and in the environmen-tal impacts of the transportation system. Over the past decade, wireless technologies and wireless data communications have fundamentally changed the way we live our lives. Instant access to information and the proliferation of “apps” through which we are able to perform almost limitless functions have dramatically recast the ways in which we work, play, and socialize. The trans-portation system has not been immune to these changes.
