U.S. Department of Transportation Seeks Business Models for Vehicle-Infrastructure Communications Network - 04.04.2008
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) today issued a Request for Information (RFI) to private industry, state and local governments, and others seeking input on potential business models for the financing and operation of a nationwide communications network between vehicles and the roadway infrastructure. The input and ideas will be used to identify candidate models for the deployment of Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII), which will enable the advancement of crash avoidance technologies in vehicles, real-time traffic information to reduce congestion and improve navigational systems, and other technologies that will improve the safety and efficiency of travel. As part of the VII initiative, RITA will conduct an operational field test of deployment-ready technologies at the November Intelligent Transportation Systems World Congress in New York City.

U.S. Department of Transportation Seeks Technology Solutions to Improve Safety and Reduce Traffic Congestion - 03.28.2008
Operation and Use of the Detroit Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Initiative (VII) - Developmental Test Environment (DTE) - 02.15.08
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Testing Facility The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has released a request for information (RFI) seeking input on the operation and use of the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Testing Facility near Detroit, Michigan, following completion of VII Proof of Concept testing in late Spring 2008. The Detroit Test Environment (DTE) was created to test the concept of VII as defined by U.S. DOT's joint VII research initiative with the auto industry and state departments of transportation. U.S. DOT is interested in receiving input and expressions of interest in using the DTE by other private and public sector entities and options for continuing to operate and maintain the facility. The responses to the RFI may result in the government releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for potential award of a contract to operate and maintain the DTE. Responses to the RFI are requested by February 28, 2008.
