involves using wireless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and personal communications devices to improve safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability. The program is the major research initiative of the ITS JPO, which is currently working with the eight major automotive companies to develop vehicle crash warning applications using DSRC technology. In addition, the ITS JPO is working to develop a myriad of applications which will use data
collected from connected vehicles that can improve safety, mobility and sustainability. There is also connected
vehicle-related research in the areas of standards, data collection, certification, policy, road weather, and public transportation.
