The top two images are labeled “Connected-Automated Vehicles” and are connected with an arrow pointing to the one below, which is labeled “Smart Cities.”]
Slide 4: Envision Connected Everything
[This slide contains an image of a train on train tracks, a highway, a four-lane road, and a parking garage. The train and vehicles are ringed by three concentric circles to symbolize the signals being sent from the vehicle to other vehicles. There are also lines connecting the train and cars to the street light post to represented vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.]
Slide 5: Potential Benefits
- Safety. The injuries and fatalities of both vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users will be reduced both by reducing the crash rate and reducing the severity of those that still occur.
- Mobility. The information about travel conditions and options for both system users and operators will be increased and improved, thereby reducing congestion, improving travel time reliability, and providing greater choice of travel mode.
- Environment. The impact of vehicle travel will be reduced by promoting greener transportation choices and driver/vehicle behavior.
- Data. New and cost-effective data sources and collection methods will be introduced that will improve asset management, network operations, just-in-time maintenance, and incident response, among other functions
[This slide contains an image of four overlapping arrows pointing from left to right. Written inside the arrow at the left and in the foreground is “Benefits are expected to grow over time as more travelers and vehicles are equipped.”]
Slide 6: …But How Do I Get There From Today?
[This slide contains two images side by side with an arrow pointing from the one on the left to the one on the right. The one on the left shows heavy traffic, including autos, pedestrians, bicyclists, and buses, on a six-lane city street. The image on the right is of a train on train tracks, a highway, a four-lane road, and a parking garage. The train and vehicles are ringed by three concentric circles to symbolize the signals being sent from the vehicle to other vehicles. There are also lines connecting the train and cars to the street light post to represented vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.]
