The US Department of Transportation's (US DOT) Dynamic Mobility Applications program is exploring the future possibilities for connected vehicles where cars, trucks, buses, the roadside, and smartphones will talk to each other. They will share valuable safety, mobility, and environmental information over a wireless communications network that is already connecting and transforming transportation systems.

The 324 US Department of Transportation's (US DOT) Dynamic Mobility Applications program is exploring the future possibilities for connected vehicles where cars, trucks, buses, the roadside, and smartphones will talk to each other. They will share valuable safety, mobility, and environmental information over a wireless communications network that is already connecting and transforming transportation systems. Such a system of “connected vehicles,” mobile devices, and roads will provide a wealth of transportation data, from which innovative and transformative applications will be built. These applications will make travel not only safer, but smarter and greener.
The US DOT Dynamic Mobility Applications program is specifically focusing on reducing delays and congestion and thus significantly improving mobility. Some of the applications that a connected vehicle world would make possible include:

The US DOT Dynamic Mobility Applications program is specifically focusing on reducing delays and congestion and thus significantly improving mobility. Some of the applications that a connected vehicle world would make possible include:
Enable Advanced Traveller Information System (EnableATIS)
A framework around a desired end state for a future traveller information network, with a focus on multimodal integration, facilitated sharing of data, end-to-end trip perspectives, use of analytics and logic to generate predictive information specific to users, and enhanced delivery mechanisms that reduce driver distraction. As the traveller information marketplace continues to evolve, EnableATIS seeks to facilitate, support, and enable those advancements and innovations to provide transformative traveller information.Freight Advanced Traveller Information Systems (FRATIS)
A suite of applications that provides freight-specific dynamic travel planning and performance information and optimises drayage operations so that load movements are coordinated between freight facilities to reduce empty-load trips.Integrated Dynamic Transit Operations (IDTO)
The next generation of applications that transform transit mobility, operations, and services through the availability of new data sources and communicationsIntelligent Network Flow Optimisation (INFLO)
A collection of high-priority, transformative applications that relate to improving roadway throughput and reducing crashes through the use of frequently collected and rapidly disseminated multi-source data drawn from connected vehicles, travellers, and infrastructure.Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal Systems (MMITSS)
The next generation of traffic signal systems that seeks to provide a comprehensive traffic information framework to service all modes of transportation, including general vehicles, transit, emergency vehicles, freight fleets, and pedestrians and cyclists in a connected vehicle environment. The vision for MMITSS is to provide overarching system optimisation that accommodates transit and freight signal priority, pre-emption for emergency vehicles, and pedestrian movements while maximising overall arterial network performance.Response, Emergency Staging and Communications, Uniform Management, and Evacuation (RESCUME)
The next generation of applications that transform the response, emergency staging and communications, uniform management, and evacuation process associated with incidents. The vision for RESCUME is to leverage wireless connectivity, centre-to-centre communications, and centre-to-field communications to solve problems faced by emergency management agencies, emergency medical services (EMS), public agencies, and emergency care givers, as well as persons requiring assistance.More information on can be found at %$Linker:
