A survey of alternate methods and implementations of an intelligent transportation system

The idea of having a cohesive and collaborative union between interconnected vehicles and their surrounding infrastructure is not new. Numerous standards and protocols have been developed in the past few decades to pave the way to that reality, however, the deployment of these technologies have been slow. Many interim solutions have been designed and developed to act as a bridge between the current driver centered model to a future driverless centric one. This paper provides an overview of the alternate techniques that are currently being implemented to drive us toward an interconnected infrastructure and vehicle future. Relative research from the author will also be discussed.
