VII California: Development and Deployment Proof of Concept and Group-Enabled Mobility and Safety (GEMS)

This PATH Research Report covers the (Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration) VII California Development and Deployment (Task Order6217) efforts beginning in 2008 and concluding June 30, 2009. This is a successor to the report for TO 5217and reports theapplications-oriented research subsequent to that work.The report is organized by a synopsis of the background and reasons for the VII California project, then it summarizes some of the antecedent (TO 5217) work: the "Innovative Mobility Showcase" (2005), which established the architecture and, importantly the applications (curve overspeed warning, probe messaging)) and the underlying testbed and enablers (High Accuracy National Differential GPS).
