About Us
The Connected Vehicle Pooled Fund Study (CV PFS) is a partnership of transportation agencies and affiliated organizations formed in 2009 who have established a program to facilitate the development and evaluation of Connected Vehicle applications. The program prepares state, local, and international transportation agencies for the deployment of Connected Vehicle technologies. The program focuses on the following outcomes:
- Development and demonstration of connected vehicle technology, algorithms, tools and applications
- Preparation for field deployments
- Development and deployment documentation
- Lessons learned and identification of challenges from field deployments
The CV PFS operated as part of the Federal Highway Administration’s Transportation Pooled Fund program (https://www.pooledfund.org), with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) as the lead agency. Supporting VDOT, the University of Virginia Center for Transportation Studies serves as the administrative and technical lead of the CVPFS.
Core Members are representatives from federal, state, local, and international transportation agencies that contribute funding to the study. Core Members have the decision-making and voting authority for the Pooled Fund Study activities, and they are primary stakeholders. Please contact a current member or a member of our leadership team to learn more about becoming a member.
Members meet monthly via conference call and in-person twice per year to discuss new project ideas and to participate in an information-sharing forum which provides current updates within the CAV economy. These meetings are mostly public, with some portions of meetings clearly noted "for-members only." Project materials can be found using the links for Members and Public Access.
