Applications & Planning for CV Systems (Blended)
Length: Approximately 10 hours
Description
This course provides a foundation for why connected vehicle applications should be implemented and how they are connected to current transportation needs. As part of this course, you will conduct your own regional analysis to identify local needs, performance goals, and connected vehicle applications that address these needs and goals. (Available ONLY in blended-learning format)
Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how connected vehicle applications can be used to solve regional and local transportation challenges
- List the applications used in the connected vehicle program
- Describe how agencies plan, design, and implement connected vehicle applications to operate within the existing infrastructure
- Identify the communication and physical security requirements for deploying connected vehicle applications
- Analyze the data considerations for connected vehicle applications
- Evaluate the resources available from the connected vehicle research program
