The Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is celebrating its 30th birthday this month and is taking a full part in the ITS America Annual Meeting here in Charlotte. ITS JPO staff will be featured in sessions related to mobility applications for public transit, a US Department of Transportation plenary on smart communities and a discussion about the 5.9GHz Safety Band.
A new 30th anniversary logo, video and an updated version of the History of Intelligent Transportation Systems book will also be on display.
With the prospect of Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure communication on the horizon, ITS JPO supported the advancement of connected vehicle technology towards a real-world pilot deployment programme.
But before connected vehicles can be deployed broadly, there are several technical, institutional, and financial challenges to be solved – and ITS JPO says this can only be done by putting these emerging technologies to work in real-world situations.
