Program Title: CICAS

JPO Program Manager: Schagrin

Current Updates (as of 2/8/08):

Program is currently underway with prime objectives being accomplished.

Program Description Summary

The CICAS Initiative is designed to employ a combination of vehicle-based technologies and systems, infrastructure-based technologies and systems, and communications systems focused on detecting and avoiding potential crossing-path crashes at intersections. CICAS will combine these technologies, thereby creating three innovative applications: an application that warns drivers of potential signal or stop sign violations, an application that assists the driver’s decision making capability when proceeding onto a high speed road after making a legal stop at a stop sign, and an application that assist the driver’s decision making capability when turning left in the face of oncoming traffic. The major focus of this initiative is to determine if these systems are effective at reducing crossing path crashes while achieving a sufficient level of driver acceptance.

Program Goals

• Signal and stop sign violation field operational test.
• Prototype system developed for stop sign assist.
• Prototype system developed for signalized left turn assist.
• Safety benefits assessments.

Current Updates (as of 02/01/08):

Currently working to obligate ITS funds. Except for San Diego, obligations are conditional on sites receiving legal authority to price. Evaluation contractor recommendation provided to contracts on 01/25/08.

Program Description Summary

In May 2006, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced its National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network (the Congestion Initiative), a bold and comprehensive national program to reduce congestion on the Nation’s roads, rails, runways and waterways. The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Operational Testing to Mitigate Congestion (ITS-OTMC) Program provides the advanced technology foundation for the Congestion Initiative. ITS technologies will support congestion pricing, improved system operations and performance, regional efforts to expand provision of real-time traveler information, improved traffic incident response, improved arterial signal timing and reduced obtrusiveness of highway construction work zones. The overall objective of the ITS-OTMC Program is to facilitate the operational testing and evaluation of innovative and aggressive congestion reduction strategies incorporating ITS technologies that can demonstrate measurable reductions in congestion levels in the deployment areas.

Program Goals

• Demonstrate impact on congestion through the implementation of tolling, transit, technology and telecommuting strategies (The 4 T’s).
• Demonstrate impact of technology to enable variable pricing.
• Evaluate the urban partner demonstrations.
• Develop outreach materials to educate the industry on the benefits of the 4 T’s.

Issues

• Funding reallocation in Spring 2007 resulted in extending the funding profile into FY 2010. Overall budget was reduced. We do not expect significant additional schedule slippage.
• There was a significant schedule slippage to allow the contracting process for the Pioneer Sites to be completed. We are taking steps to streamline this approach for future stages. Since November 2007, the start of the Pioneer Site work, we are three months behind schedule.
• We intentionally let the schedule slip approximately three months in 2008 to allow the Pioneer Sites to improve the quality of their concepts of operations and requirements documents. We anticipate working on the demonstration phase partly in parallel with the AMS phase to pick up on the schedule slippage.
• Due to budget reallocation, we have reduced the number of sites to model from up to 4 to up to 3. We also anticipate that the demonstration phase will be up to 3 (probably 2) instead of up to 4 sites.
• Modeling phase schedule also slipped three months, but it was not in the critical path.
