Vehicle-to-infrastructure technology

Definition
"While V2V technologies send and receive data among vehicles, vehicle-to-infrastructure technologies send and receive data between vehicles and infrastructure, such as traffic signals." }}

Overview
Vehicle-to-infrastructure technologies could offer additional safety features that V2V technologies cannot, such as providing drivers with additional warnings when traffic signals are about to change, warnings that could help reduce collisions at intersections. In addition, these technologies can offer potential mobility and environmental benefits; for example, they can collect, analyze, and provide drivers with data on upcoming roadway and traffic conditions and suggest alternate routes when roadways are congested.
