Abstract The intent of this white paper is to identify and describe critical policy and institutional challenges that are anticipated with: • Development and operations of new connected vehicle data capture and management (DCM) technologies and systems • New systems for developing open source applications • Development and commercialization of the new connected vehicle dynamic mobility applications (DMA) It is the intention of the research programs that are guiding these efforts to implement open data and open source policies, to the extent feasible, as a means of supporting the public sector with less costly technologies as well as to encourage more dynamic market innovation. The USDOT’s interest in implementing open data and open source policies is reflective of a broader Federal effort to support the Open Government Directive which is focused on promoting the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration with citizens to achieve greater involvement in government. Implementing DCM and DMA based on open data and open source policies may present critical challenges during the research stages of concept development, prototyping, and testing; and present obstacles to technology transfer, market adoption, and commercial operations. The challenges (or critical issues) described in this white paper are a result of a preliminary analysis of the emerging DCM and DMA systems, technologies, and applications; a review of the technical, evolutionary path for both programs; and a review of Federal, State and local, academic, and commercial practices (documented in a separate white paper).
