Project Overview
The Regional Connected Vehicle Program is a part of the Atlanta Regional Commissions (ARC) transportation priorities as set forth in their Transportation Improvement Program which if funded, in part, by federal money. The purpose of the program is to develop a data exchange platform involving deployment of current pioneering traffic detection technology in target areas. This program will have a profound impact on transportation safety and mobility throughout the State.
