HERE and Colorado Department of Transportation Announce First of
its Kind Connected Vehicle Project
Today HERE and the
Colorado DOT (CDOT) announced the first cellular network-based connected
vehicle alert system in the US. The project aims to maximize driver safety and
roadway efficiency along the I-70 Mountain Corridor, which is one of the most
challenging roads in the US due to extreme weather, high altitude, and
significant congestion. In this RoadX Connected Vehicle Pilot, CDOT will
leverage the HERE Location Cloud and Digital Transportation Infrastructure
(DTI) solution to connect vehicles, smartphones and other devices, road
infrastructure and traffic management centers. The HERE Location Cloud
will ingest, analyze, and distribute highly accurate, safety critical
information such as accidents or extreme weather to the right people within
seconds.
