18 Initiating the Systems Engineering Process for Rural Connected Vehicle Corridors Scale of Anticipated Deploy ments • Some agencies are looking to get a capital program for ITS and connected vehicle projects to help showcase the technology in the next few years. • Understanding the full benefits of the system, especially in a rural setting, will help determine the need to commit to a large-scale deployment in the near future.

Findings from Literature Review and Stakeholder Engagement 21 • Regarding pedestrian/cyclist, one stakeholder suggested the topic would be more applicable for urban settings. H owever, the consensus was that the topic applies to rural communities (e.g., the pedestrian/cyclist topic would be important in rural shoulderless roadways, active transportation is critically important in rural communities, and pedestrians and cyclists have different characteristics in more rural situations)
