This report consists of eight papers that address a new snapshot generation protocol for travel-time estimation in a connected vehicle environment, the safety impacts of intervehicle warning information systems for moving hazards in connected vehicle environments, near-crash identification in a connected vehicle environment, and energy consumption reduction strategies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with connected vehicle technology in urban areas. This issue also explores display location and application type on driving performance in connected vehicle systems, the implementation and testing of a cooperative bus priority system in a connected vehicle environment, ethical decision making during automated vehicle crashes, and supplementary benefits from partial vehicle automation in an ecoapproach and departure application at signalized intersections.
