2. Well Connected Vehicles We are looking for a few good “traits”, for well connected vehicles.
Stay informed and keep others informed
Be a good listener, besides being a good speaker
Have a good translator, if you do not speak local languages
Straight to the point when talking
Open minded
Attentive, sensitive and considerate
3. Questions and Challenges Do we really want it?
It seems people like to be connected.
Will it work?
Contents are equally important as “devices” in system developments.
Will it sustain?
I don’t think it is a farce. Things are cyclical, but the world is cyclical anyway.
Can we keep up?
Technologies are running too fast for the society as a whole, but we catch up eventually.
Are we sure it is a good thing?
I think it is, but we will know in time.
4. California PATH Program California PATH (Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways) was established in 1986. It is administered by the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS), University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with and with support from Caltrans.
PATH is a multi-disciplinary program that has been a pioneer in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), with a focus on applied research of cooperative systems.
Complete information can be found at www.path.berkely.edu
