Connected Vehicles

Connected Vehicle safety applications will enable drivers to have 360-degree awareness of hazards and situations they cannot even see. By communicating with roadside infrastructure, drivers will be alerted when they are entering a school zone, if workers are on the roadside, if an upcoming traffic light is about to change and many other potentially dangerous situations.

80%

The technology is expected to reduce unimpaired vehicle crashes by 80 percent.

1/3 Time Savings

A report from the USDOT indicates that connected vehicle mobility applications may be able to cut travel-time delays caused by congestion by more than a third.

Gather

Vehicles will transmit basic safety messages (BSMs) approximately 10x per second via DSRC. This information will include such things as vehicle size, position, speed, heading acceleration, wiper status and brake system status. The Connect:ITS will capture the BSM’s and be able to make decisions based on the incoming data.

Analyze

The Connect:ITS can use the vehicle data that is part of the basic safety message (BSM) to alert other drivers in the area of various hazards. For example, if a vehicle's ABS was activated an alert could be sent to upstream vehicles advising them of a potential queue hazard.

Communicate

The Connect:ITS can send out messages to connected vehicles via DSRC and these messages can be displayed on the vehicle's infotainment system. The Connect:ITS can also send alerts and messages to nearby dynamic messages signs, highway advisory radios and flashing warning systems.
