The Interrelationships between Connected and Automated Vehicle Technologies

摘要

Connected vehicle technology provides automated vehicles with Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP): 1. Telepathy: Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (e.g., entering and leaving platoons), Emergency Electronic Brake Light, etc. 2. Clairvoyance: traveler information, queue warning, road condition warning, etc. 3. Precognition: Advance information on signal phase and timing 4. Telekinesis: Signal preemption and signal priority Connected Automation leverages the synergies between the two technology families 1. Need for DSRC reduced but not eliminated by automation.
