Connected vehicle and smart city technologies will produce massive amounts of data. What new businesses, public services, and research could these data fuel? Join the conversation! (This presentation is in support of a session proposal for SXSW 2017.)

1. Developing a
National Strategy for

4. How Connected
Vehicles Work
1 A wireless device in a car
sends basic safety messages
10 times per second
2 Other nearby cars and
roadside equipment receive
the messages
3 Drivers get a warning of a
potential crash
Connected vehicles have the
potential to reduce non-impaired
crash scenarios by 80%*

5. Connected Vehicles
What can they do?
• Save lives by significantly
reducing traffic accidents
• Make travel easier, more
efficient, and more enjoyable
• Help curb pollution

6. Smart Cities and
Connected Vehicles
Smart Cities incorporate and
expand connected transportation to
ensure that connected
transportation data, technologies
and applications – as well as
connected travelers – are fully
integrated with other systems
across a city, and fulfill their
potential to improve safety, mobility
and environmental outcomes in a
complexly interdependent and
multimodal world that supports a
more sustainable relationship
between transport and the city.

7. Example Deployment in a Smart City
Traffic signal
support vehicle
automation
applications
(Eco-Glide Path)
Transit vehicles
leverage connected
vehicle technologies for
transit signal priority
Data collected from
connected vehicles
provide insights into the
performance of the city
Handheld and
infrastructure
devices support
pedestrian safety

8. The Future of ITS Data
“With increased connectivity
among vehicles, organizations,
systems, and people,
unprecedented amounts of data
are being generated. New
methods to collect, transmit/
transport, sort, store, share,
aggregate, fuse, analyze, and
apply these data will be needed
for management and operations of
transportation systems.” http://www.its.dot.gov/strategicplan/

9. What types and amounts of data will connected
transportation technologies produce?
What new businesses, public services, and
research could these data fuel?
What should the Federal role be in enabling
nationwide access to the data while protecting
the privacy of travelers?
