ITE Webinar: Connecting Vehicles and Infrastructure: An Introduction to V2X Technologies and Real World Deployment

This webinar is led by the ITE Connected and Automated Vehicles Committee.

When: December 8, 2026 | 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET

Webinar Description:

How can vehicles, roadway infrastructure, and other road users share information to support safer and more efficient transportation? This introductory webinar will explain connected vehicle and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, introduce common applications, and explore what these technologies mean for transportation practitioners. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of vehicle connectivity and the role of infrastructure in supporting V2X deployment.

Drawing on materials from the V2X training that ITE is delivering under contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO), the webinar will pair an introductory overview with a practical Texas example highlighting the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI) work related to USDOT’s V2X Accelerator Program. The session will conclude with a preview of upcoming opportunities for more in-depth V2X training and an audience question-and-answer discussion. The program includes participation from ITE’s Connected and Automated Vehicles Committee.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe basic connected vehicle and V2X concepts, including communication among vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users.
• Identify potential V2X applications that support transportation safety and operations.
• Explain how a practical Texas deployment example relates to V2X concepts and infrastructure needs.
• Identify upcoming ITE V2X training opportunities for further learning.
