U.S. Department of Transportation Makes $2.4 Million Available for Work Zone Data Exchange Grants in Preparation for Automated Vehicles

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration published a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $2.4 million in Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) grants to promote the development of shared data feeds on work zones across America. The information would also be available for in-vehicle applications allowing automated vehicles to learn about nearby work zones and navigate them safely.
