This morning I was reading through an interesting article on connected vehicles with the actual implementation and performance.

What are the benefits of connected vehicles deployment:
1. Can eliminate the severity of up to 80% of non-impaired crashes (NHTSA)
2. Dedicated Short Range Communications-based transit signal priority reduced 72% of travel time, on time performance improved 2.5%, improvement of schedule reliability 6% (Utah DOT)
3. Spot Weather Impact Warning (SWIW) application can identify adverse road-weather conditions— like ice and packed snow on the pavement—and report those conditions to the connected vehicle system (Utah DOT)
4. SWIW system installed along 159 miles of weather-crash-prone would yield a 20-year savings of $97.7 million and projected to prevent 1,654 crashes (Utah DOT)

Small-scale deployments can yield immediate results, and these benefits can be expanded with further deployments.
