This report describes the Connected Traveler Project, research performed under the SafeTrip-21 Initiative, which was part of the Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration Program administered by the US Department of Transportation's Research and Innovative Technology Administration. The purpose of the SafeTrip-21 Initiative was to build upon current and prior research into the use of sophisticated information, navigation, and communications technologies to further national transportation goals in safety and mobility. The Connected Traveler Project provided a Field Test Site with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications, and was comprised of the Connected Traveler Test Bed, with the appropriate hardware, software, and architecture to field test a broad range of ITS applications, together with intermodal ITS applications covering the mobility, safety, and e-payment areas. This project integrated the Field Test and ITS applications into a product that was: h showcased at the 2008 ITS World Congress in New York City; h field-tested and evaluated on real roads to address mobility and safety needs in the greater San Francisco Bay Area; and h demonstrated to prospective users and applications developers in order to stimulate deployment of SafeTrip-21 technologies. This report is a high level summary of the individual components of the Connected Traveler Project. |
