The recent interest in IntelliDrive(SM) and vehicle connectivity has gone past previous notions of automatic collision notification, internet browsing and off board navigation. Now, in addition to applying the 5.9 GHz ITS band for cooperative collision avoidance, other applications using connectivity between the vehicle and signalized intersections have emerged. Contemporary applications enhancing fuel economy and reducing green house gases (GHG) are the subject of current research and development. Cooperation between vehicle electronics and intelligent traffic management systems could change the landscape for addressing future ECO (economical and ecological) requirements. This manuscript will outline development within one automotive supplier targeted at using connectivity as an enabling technology for sustaining the vision of smart and green transportation systems.
