DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION


Connected Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Guidance Workshop; 
Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: ITS Joint Program Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Research, Technology, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department 
of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent 
Transportation System Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) will host a free 
Connected Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Deployment Guidance public 
workshop to seek stakeholder input on preparations by the Federal 
Highway Administration (FHWA) regarding the development of connected 
V2I deployment guidance and deployment coalition planning. The meeting 
will be held on Friday, September 12, 2014, from 9:30 a.m. (CST) to 
2:30 p.m. (CST) in the Cobo Center, 1 Washington Blvd., Detroit, MI 
48226, Room 310A. Remote participation will be available via web 
conference.
    To register for the workshop, please visit www.itsa.org/fhwaworkshop.
    The USDOT would like input from transportation infrastructure 
owner/operators on draft FHWA guidance aimed at supporting successful 
implementation and operations of connected vehicle technologies. It 
should be noted that the deployment of V2I technologies will be 
voluntary and is not coupled with the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration's (NHTSA) proposed rulemaking for Vehicle to Vehicle 
(V2V) communications.
    The primary target audience for this meeting is State and local 
Departments of Transportation, transit operators, other operating 
agencies, and infrastructure owners who are starting to plan for the 
deployment and use of connected vehicle technologies in their area. 
This meeting will also present the objectives of forming a deployment 
coalition to support implementation.
    While this meeting is specifically focused for an audience that has 
been following connected vehicle research and has been formulating 
plans for implementation, it is open to other stakeholders in the 
connected vehicle community, including national associations and the 
general public. The results of this meeting will inform FHWA's 
preparation of guidance and tools in support of V2I deployment.
    For further information, please contact Robert Arnold, FHWA, 
Director, Office of Transportation Management by at 
[email protected] or by telephone at 202-366-1285. Agenda items for 
this meeting are subject to change.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on the 12th day of August 2014.

Program Analyst, ITS Joint Program Office.
