Vehicle infrastructure integration (VII) is an emerging approach intended to create an enabling communication capability to support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications for safety and mobility applications. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has been an active participant in the national VII development effort. This research project critically assessed national development activities and quantitatively evaluated two potential VII-enabled system operation applications: traffic monitoring and signal control. The results of the research effort provide tangible evidence of the potential that VII holds in helping VDOT improve its ability to operate the transportation system. The benefits demonstrated in traffic monitoring and signal control indicate that VDOT should remain active in VII development.
