Abstract
In this article, the author describes a number of tests conducted by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) regarding Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII). The tests, conducted in the Detroit area, collect vehicular information such as speed of travel, road surface conditions, windshield wiper use, air temperature, and shock and antilock brake use. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) concepts such as VII are implemented in order to increase both mobility and safety. Using a dedicated short-range radio system (DSRC), which links cars to one another via vehicle-to-vehicle as well as to wayside hubs, researchers hope to determine whether a fast moving vehicle can engage in local wireless network communications as effectively as stationary objects. Other such VII tests are being conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the University of California, Berkeley.
