ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses innovations in Intelligent Transportation Systems that are contributing to the transformation of mobility in the United States (US) and the creation of a US transportation system that effectively integrates rapidly evolving advancing technologies to produce significantly safer and more efficient transportation of goods and people. It identifies the specific technological innovations and developments that are transforming mobility in the US and address the role of government in ensuring that the country will effectively harness the rapidly emerging advanced technologies to remain competitive in the global marketplace. Connected Vehicles (CVs) are vehicles that communicate with other vehicles, the infrastructure and mobile devices carried by individuals to accomplish a two-way wireless exchange of data. The massive amounts of data that will be exchanged as CVs expand in operation have the potential to create many positive impacts. The introduction of autonomous vehicles is largely a private sector automobile industry effort.
