Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is the use of a variety of wireless communications technologies to enable vehicles to communicate with each other, with other road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists, and infrastructure. These technologies offer the potential to make significant impacts in improving safety, enhancing mobility, and reducing transportation’s impact on the environment.
This foundational-level course equips participants with a basic understanding of V2X concepts. Participants will be introduced to the key components that enable a V2X ecosystem, learn about the potential benefits of the technology, and explore example use cases and the messages and standards that support them while ensuring safety and privacy. Intended for participants that are new to V2X, the course is divided into three modules:
- The Case for Interoperable Connectivity
- V2X Basics
- U.S. DOT V2X Technical Assistance and Resources
This 4-hour introductory course is being offered by the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) ITS Professional Capacity Building Program.
Note: This training is being offered as an in-person event only and you are not required to be registered for the ITS America Conference & Expo to attend.
