NEMA releases Connected Vehicle Infrastructure Standard

NEMA (the National Electrical Manufacturers Association) has released the Connected Vehicle Infrastructure – Roadside Equipment Standard (NEMA TS 40010-2024) to facilitate better communication among over-the-air wireless safety messages, applications, and cybersecurity measures for our nation’s connected vehicles and the larger transportation ecosystem. The standard will provide better detection and warning systems for drivers when vulnerable road users such as pedestrians are present, reduce accidents and traffic congestion, and decrease carbon emissions.

One example of how connected vehicle technologies are improving roadway conditions can be found in Detroit, where the Michigan Department of Transportation is piloting sensors in vehicles that collect data about roads, and “signal preemption” that enhances communication between ambulances responding to emergencies and roadside controllers. NEMA will continue to work alongside transportation departments to ensure connected vehicle technologies are being integrated into everyday use.

NEMA’s Transportation Management Section developed this standard as a resource for transportation infrastructure owners and operators who procure the equipment for secure communications among vehicles, infrastructure, and personal devices.

NEMA’s standard contains key guidance that enables agencies and other transportation infrastructure owner/operators to procure and deploy connected vehicle roadside units to:

  • Reduce crashes and roadway fatalities as the highest priority;

  • Reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and emissions; and

  • Provide automated vehicles with situational awareness to supplement onboard sensors

NEMA represents more than 300 electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers that make safe, reliable, and efficient products and systems. Together, its members contribute 1% of US GDP and directly provide nearly 460,000 American jobs, contributing more than $250 billion to the US economy.
