Connected vehicle (CV) technology is enabling transportation systems to become safer and smarter. Texas is assembling a robust CV ecosystem, with several CV deployments underway. At the heart is the Connected Vehicle Data Framework (CVDF), a data exchange that enables TxDOT to publish key information, such as work zone locations and travel times, as well as ingest data from other public agencies and third parties regarding traffic characteristics, road weather conditions, and safety events.This project leveraged the existing CVDF that currently supports the Texas Connected Freight Corridors project to expand its efficacy through applications, data partners, and corridors. The research team delivered a CVDF Expansion Toolkit that includes new applications that improve safety and mobility, recommended data partners from local and regional agencies as well as third-party data providers to improve traffic operations, investment strategies that identify Texas roadways for CV operations and describe infrastructure readiness tactics.
