Texas Triangle Challenges
Texas Triangle contains ¾ of Texas’ 28 million population – growing to 39 million people in 2045
Seven of top 25 national freight bottlenecks
Eleven of top 20 most congested roadway sections in Texas
Doubling of freight tonnage from 2010 to 2040 (2/3rd by truck)
More cross border trade value than CA, MI, ND, and AZ combined

Texas Connected Vehicle Vision
The Texas vision is to create a sustainable connected vehicle environment covering the 865-mile Texas Triangle (including extension to Laredo) to support V2V and V2I safety and mobility applications
TxDOT and its partners believe on-going success and support will be achieved by:– Promoting economic efficiency and safety of
commercial vehicles and freight first, followed by passenger cars and other users
– Creating Day One benefits through use of aftermarket devices and integration with existing on-board technologies
– Minimizing infrastructure costs to state and local agencies

Texas Connected Freight Corridors Project
Texas Proposal: Equip “Texas Triangle” with connected infrastructure technology (IH10, IH30, IH35 & IH45)– Equip 1,000 trucks and TxDOT fleet vehicles with on-
board technology
HEB flagship partner, approaching others for participation
Provide freight operators and drivers with info and warnings to improve safety and mobility:– Warnings for traffic queues, work zones, low bridge
heights, weather (heavy rain, ice, fog), wrong-way drivers
– Equipped truck will get braking warnings from other equipped trucks
– Info on traffic conditions, route guidance, border wait times
