Project ID:	FHWA-PROJ-11-0067
Project Name:	Vehicle Positioning and Communications Test Implementation for Initial Capability—Telecommunications and Positioning: Phase II
Status:	Active
Contact:	Last Name: Arnold First Name: James A Telephone: 202-493-3265 E-mail: james.a.arnold@dot.gov
Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Operations Research and Development
Team:	Trans Enabling Technologies Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Not Applicable
Project Description:	This effort is intended to be a first implementation of Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications supporting Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT). Additional work is planned, but this evaluation and testing supported by the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) is intended as a first step to ensure general concepts and designs do not have flaws that would impact other vehicles or overall traffic flow if they were to be implemented on a larger scale.
Laboratories:	Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory
Start Date:	September 30, 2011
