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.
