Question

As envisioned by the US Department of Transportation's roadmap for connected vehicles, DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) wireless communication technology will be used to link all of the following sources to a connected vehicle except:

1) Traffic signals
2) Other vehicles
3) Pedestrians
4) Weather conditions

Answer 1

DSRC is used in connected vehicles to link with traffic signals, other vehicles, and potentially pedestrians, but not directly with weather conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

As part of the US Department of Transportation's roadmap for connected vehicles, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) wireless communication technology is designed to create a network where vehicles can share information with other entities to improve safety, traffic efficiency, and transportation convenience. DSRC can link vehicles to various data sources like traffic signals, other vehicles, and potentially pedestrians if they are equipped with DSRC-enabled devices. However, DSRC is not actively used for linking vehicles directly to weather conditions; instead, weather information is typically relayed via internet connectivity or onboard sensor systems rather than direct DSRC links.
