National Highway Traffic Safety AdministrationIntelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office;Federal Highway AdministrationConnected vehicle wireless data communications can enable safety applications that may reduce injuries and fatalitiessuffered on our roads and highways, as well as enabling reductions in traffic congestion and impacts on theenvironment. As a critical part of achieving these goals, the USDOT contracted with a Team led by Battelle to integrateand validate connected vehicle on-board equipment (OBE) and safety applications on selected Class 8 commercialvehicles and to support those vehicles in research and testing activities that provide information and data needed toassess their safety benefits and support regulatory decision processes.This document describes the operational experience of the integrated commercial vehicles in the Safety Pilot ModelDeployment. It includes the travel distances, safety application alert counts and rates, communication interactions, andthe ability of DSRC units onboard these vehicles to receive other vehicles\u2019 messages
