Connected Vehicle Technology Government Delphi Survey
The Michigan Department of Transportation asked the Center for Automotive Research to survey experts drawn from the public sector (including transportation and ITS contractors that work for public-sector agencies) to forecast the future of connected vehicle technology research and deployment.
Connected Vehicle Technology Industry Delphi Survey
The Michigan Department of Transportation asked the Center for Automotive Research to survey experts from the automotive industry to forecast the future of connected vehicle technology research and deployment. CAR researchers completed this survey effort and analyzed the results with an eye toward ascertaining the strategic directions of the connected vehicle and wireless communication technology industries over the next five to ten years.
Use of ITS Technology for Management of Freight and Transit Assets
Freight movement and public transit are essential components of Michigan’s transportation system. The development, adaptation, and deployment of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies for commercial vehicle platforms and public transit systems will have...International Survey of Best Practices in Connected Vehicle Technologies: 2012 Update
Michigan is a major U.S. center of connected vehicle technology development and testing, but other states within the country are involved in significant connected vehicle activities as are other countries throughout the world. This report investigates connected...Public Perceptions of Connected Vehicle Technology
Federal and state agencies, in conjunction with private industry, are working to develop and implement connected vehicle technologies. As envisioned, these technologies will enable vehicles to communicate with each other and the roadway for the purpose of achieving...Ethics of Government Use of Data Collected Via Intelligent Transportation Systems
The convergence of sensing, wireless telecommunications, and multi-media platforms has provided new opportunities for the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). While ITS applications can enhance mobility, increase safety, and improve the...Green and Connected: A White Paper for the Michigan Department of Transportation
Two of the most important developments in automotive technology currently underway are the introduction of vehicle communications and the electrification of the powertrain. While these two technologies largely have evolved separately, their future evolution will not be in isolation. Furthermore, these two technologies reinforce one another, each making the other more effective. Recognizing this potential, the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), with the support of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), a recognized leader in connected vehicle technology, has investigated the linkages and synergies between these two technologies and their coincidental development. This document presents CAR’s observations on the potential of these two technologies to make each other stronger in the market. Ultimately, the goals of this paper are to raise awareness of the potential added benefits of being “green and connected” and to begin a dialogue on how best to achieve these benefits
