Connecting the Transportation Industry

While much of the work of the VII Coalition surrounds nationwide development and soon to be testing, there is also a lot of activity throughout the ITS industry such as state test beds, automotive R&D, and application development. The U.S. Department issued an update in July 2008 on the VII POC and program update accessible at www.itsa.org/itsa/files/VIIPOCProgramUpdate.doc.

ITS America is collecting information on all active projects that have vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-roadside elements and presenting them in this clearinghouse for the benefit of those engaged in VII. If you have a project or program that you think others should know about, please contact ITS America and share with the rest of the industry.
