Summary

This document, titled "Professional Capacity Building: Appendix A," serves as a resource guide produced by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office in September 2015. It addresses the need for a comprehensive training and education implementation plan for connected vehicle professionals, including transportation operations managers, engineers, and technicians from both public and private sectors. The primary motivation is to identify workforce needs, minimize duplication of efforts, and coordinate knowledge-building activities among various entities to support the deployment of connected vehicle infrastructure. The document outlines the objectives of the Professional Capacity Building (PCB) program, which aims to create a systematic, multi-year plan for training. It details specific resources developed or partnered with organizations such as ITS America, AASHTO, ITE, and SAE. These resources are categorized by target audience and technical depth. Key offerings include instructor-led workshops like "CV 101," a four-hour introduction to connected vehicle principles, safety, and mobility applications, and "CV 102," which focuses on deployment considerations for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technologies. More advanced technical training is provided through "CV201," which covers the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) and security credential management systems. Additional educational materials include free, 90-minute interactive webinars known as "Talking Transportation Technology" (T3), which cover topics ranging from CVRIA applications to infrastructure footprint analysis. The document also lists web-based training courses for navigating the CVRIA website, resources from the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program, and information on "PlugFests," which are events for testing device interoperability with emerging standards. Furthermore, it references ITS Standards Training Modules for project managers regarding V2V and V2I standards, as well as various videos and the ITS ePrimer module to illustrate concepts and address institutional and policy challenges. The significance of this document lies in its role as a centralized repository for professional development resources aimed at bridging the knowledge gap for connected vehicle deployment. By providing structured learning paths from introductory concepts to technical implementation details, the USDOT seeks to prepare transportation professionals for the transition from research to full-scale deployment. The resources are designed to support stakeholders in understanding technical platforms, security requirements, and operational implications, thereby facilitating the effective integration of connected vehicle technologies into surface transportation systems.
