Connected vehicle technologies, such as vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), will potentially transform the way people travel and improve the nation’s transportation system in terms of safety, mobility, and the environment. Two related studies will investigate what can be done to prepare local infrastructure for coming technology.
