What is IntelliDrive^SM?

IntelliDrive is a system of technologies and applications that use wireless communications to provide . . .

CONNECTIVITY

• Between vehicles
• Between vehicles and the roadway
• With devices in the vehicle

…to achieve strategic goals in the areas of safety, mobility, and convenience

What’s Changed

DSRC only		Technology options
OEM production units only		Aftermarket and retrofit considered
Light vehicle focus		All vehicle types
Prototyping/proof of concept		Focus towards deployment
Limited stakeholders		Broader stakeholder engagement
Limited visibility by "outsiders"		Greater program transparency
US focus		International harmonization
Loosely coupled programs		Strong, collective USDOT support, coordination, and leadership

What Remains the Same

• Connectivity → V2V and V2I
• National level interoperability
  • – Open standards for communications and data
• DSRC for safety
• Safety, mobility, and convenience applications
• Must not compromise on safety or security
• Must protect privacy
• Continued close collaboration among USDOT, AASHTO/local agencies, and vehicle manufacturers

Connectivity → IntelliDrive ^SM
