In an effort to reduce roadway deaths and crashes, the U.S. Department of Transportation on Friday rolled out a plan to accelerate the deployment of vehicle-to-everything technology. Known as V2X, the technology helps vehicles wirelessly communicate with each other and roadside infrastructure, as well as with other road users like bicyclists and pedestrians. It’s existed in some form for decades and has already been deployed in several cities and states, but now the Biden administration wants to speed up its adoption. The administration is calling on more state and local governments to update their transportation plans and investment strategies to include V2X technology. Officials said it would provide seed funding and investment to accelerate V2X deployments, help share best practices and lessons learned to realize cost savings and efficiencies, and provide support in areas like standards, architecture and testing to encourage V2X systems to be interoperable.

I wrote this article titled "Enhancing roadway safety through V2X technology" for a blog post making a case for using V2X for "informational safety". Would love to hear your thoughts and perspectives on this. https://lnkd.in/gfr8HD4F

V2x back on the table? Enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and road Infrastructure could improve safety considerably. Technology exists, but deployment and acceptance is…spotty. Maybe there is change ahead. The US just released a new roadmap: https://lnkd.in/dF6vnj9E

The federal government and numerous industry stakeholders want vehicle-to-everything technology to increasingly become part of the country’s national highways, intersections and vehicles to improve safety. Known as V2X, the digital communication could help prevent crashes, optimize system performance, improve transportation efficiency and improve roadway condition awareness of issues such as weather and work zones, according to a plan summary. https://lnkd.in/eTd64U8Q

Vehicle-to-everything technology can revolutionize road safety and traffic efficiency by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other, infrastructure, and pedestrians. However, concerns have been raised about data collection and usage. Federal regulators recommend that the 75 largest US cities should implement this technology in a quarter of their intersections by 2028. #V2X #RoadSafety #TrafficFlow
