3	"Safety – 32,885 highway deaths..." Safety – 32,885 highway deaths in 2010, 5,400,000 crashes/year Opportunity - Intersection safety, where 7% of fatalities at signalized intersections ($19 billion annual cost) and 14% at non-signalized intersections Run off Road – 40% of fatal crashes Mobility – 4,200,000,000 hours of travel delay, $80,000,000,000 cost of urban congestion Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control could improve freeway capacity by 50% Reduce delay from signal system management by 25% Improve transit connection success by 90% and reduce wait time to 10 minutes or less Improve incident response by 30% Improve freight delivery travel time (less wait time at terminals and faster freeway travel – 15 to 30%) Weather Improve safety in adverse weather conditions Reduce Public Sector cost in treating facilities Environment - 2,900,000,000 gallons of wasted fuel Reduce Fuel Use Reduce Emissions
4	Key Assumptions and Questions Assumption Vehicles have DSRC and penetration rates climb over a 20 year period Cellular based communications to vehicles will continue to evolve (carry-in and built-in products, with opt-in consumer pay services) Connected Vehicle Core System Architecture Guides system evolution. Questions Where is DSRC Infrastructure Communications Necessary? How does the benefits equation for installation of DSRC Infrastructure change as penetration rates for vehicles and infrastructure evolve? How would a cellular based solution occur and provide benefits to the public sector? We are already seeing some. What additional vehicle based data is needed to enable applications that solve problems? Over what portion of a trip is that data needed? When and where is that data needed? What information is necessary to send from the infrastructure to vehicles?

10	Key Questions for V2I Safety What DSRC-specific apps are most valuable? What are the benefits? How will we cost-effectively obtain absolute positioning? How/when might equipment installation occur? Signal upgrades, targeted intersections, transit enhancements, high accident curves, truck inspection stations? What info do you need to invest in DSRC infrastructure? Currently, application investment assumes existing local and federal funding sources.
11	Mobility Program Elements Determine Approaches to Capturing and Managing Multi-sourced Data Determine Benefits from Applications Identify and Define Applications Build and Test Prototype Applications Develop Implementation Guidance Policies Standards Specifications We are defining applications in 6 high priority bundles (freeway operations, arterials, incident management, transit, freight, and traveler information) and will move into application development soon. Weather Research has dedicated funding and a similar approach. AERIS Program (Environment) has similar approach, without funding for specific application development and testing.
