CONNECTED VEHICLES CAN HELP
US TO REDUCE OUR CARBON
FOOTPRINT AND FACILITATE
"GREEN" TRANSPORTATION CHOICES.
ECO LANES ARE SIMILAR
TO TODAY'S HOV LANES
BUT WITH A BIG DIFFERENCE--
MOTORISTS IN THESE LANES AGREE
TO DRIVE ECO-FRIENDLY VEHICLES
AND DRIVE AT A SPEED
THAT CONSERVES FUEL.
DRIVERS WILL BE ALERTED
ABOUT THE PROPER SPEED
WITH DYNAMIC MESSAGE SIGNS.
CONNECTED VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
CAN HELP VEHICLES TO REDUCE
IDLING AND UNNECESSARY
STOPS BY COMMUNICATING WITH
SMART TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS BROADCAST DATA
ABOUT THEIR CURRENT SIGNAL PHASE
AND TIMING, AND SYSTEMS INSIDE
THE VEHICLES USE THE DATA
TO DETERMINE SPEED
ADVICE FOR DRIVERS.
DRIVERS COULD THEN ADJUST
THEIR VEHICLE SPEED TO PASS
THE NEXT TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON
GREEN OR SLOW DOWN TO A STOP
IN THE MOST ECO-FRIENDLY MANNER,
THEREBY SAVING FUEL,
REDUCING EMISSIONS AND
SAVING DRIVERS MONEY.
CONNECTED VEHICLES--
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES.
