Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII): A Major ITS Initiative

About half of the 43,000 deaths that occur each year on U.S. highways result from vehicles leaving the road or traveling unsafely through intersections. Traffic delays continue to increase, wasting more than a 40-hour workweek for peak-time travelers. A significant reduction in these numbers could be achieved through coordinated development of a nationwide wireless communication infrastructure that would allow communication between vehicles and between the vehicle and the roadside.
