1	AASHTO “Connected Vehicle” Infrastructure Deployment Analysis JPO Webinar June 24th, 2011 Jim Wright American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
2	Agenda Purpose of Deployment Plan Developmental Approach Task Highlights Scenarios 2011 – 2029 Strategies 2011 – 2014+ Companion Activities Next Steps
3	Plan Purpose Address Goals in 2009 Strategic Plan Commitment to advance deployment readiness Commitment to better understanding deployment Issues Identify a practical approach for infrastructure deployment Provide insights into what the future holds for applications, vehicles and communications Identify a phased deployment strategy with regional deployments Establish a foundation to conduct benefit assessments and business model development Provide insights on agency deployment and operations
4	Plan Approach Set of building block tasks 1) Applications Defined (the benefits) 2) Market assessment of: Vehicles trends Communications infrastructure - what’s available After market devices - role and emergence Consumer devices presence - impact on AASHTO community
5	Plan Approach 3) Survey of state activities in “connected vehicle space” Actions demonstrate what is important Provides possible locations for phased deployment 4) DSRC Assessment What is current state of readiness What are deployment issues
6	Plan Approach 5) Controller Assessment Dimensions of upgrading nations controllers to DSRC operations 6) Deployment scenarios 2010 – 2035 7) Policy & Business Issues
7	Applications Intersection Safety Collaborated with FHWA – accident analysis 2020 time frame for OEM equipped vehicles - based on NHTSA timeline Value of early infrastructure for first vehicles Agency Operations Traffic Control, including emergency vehicles Commercial vehicle transactions Fleets, Transit Mobility Travel information ~ public package Travel information ~ private package In-vehicle signing
8	Market assessment Embedded vehicle systems Safety & Mobility ~ High potential ~ 200 million vehicles Rollout curves After market vehicle systems Primarily Mobility ~ unsure of market penetration? New OnStar Offers Ford Synch New devices? Consumer electronics products ~ potentially big market? Primarily mobility smart phones ~ a lot Communications Cellular DSRC
9	State Activities Emergency vehicles –AZ Intersection safety, mobility - CA Rural intersection safety, fuel taxes – MN Test beds, data management, infrastructure management – MI Commercial vehicles – NY Test bed ITSWC – FL Pooled fund study, SSOM Leadership – VA Rural corridors – ID Active traffic management - WA
10	DSRC Assessment How will a national program be implemented and operated Only 16 states currently hold licenses for the frequency, and not all of these are held by the transportation agency within the state. there are over 100 companies that have license to the frequency The majority of companies are telecoms or television stations. each state gets 1 license for the entire state. A county license covers the county and so on. A commercial company would get a license for installation anywhere in the country. The FCC didn’t see any problems as they feel individual licensees can address any interference issues between themselves and it also isn’t a problem because the range is so limited DSRC is one of the more ambiguous elements

14	Scenarios 2011 Setting the Direction Define a “General Concept for Deployment” No DSRC equipped vehicles until 2019 Support applications on aftermarket & consumer devices Deploy RSE for selected applications and users Mobility & agency operations Commercial vehicle transactions Emergency Vehicle pre-emption Safety applications at isolated intersections Establish specific applications & desired outcomes Begin broadening coverage and use of RSE’s Share results with AASHTO community & others
15	Scenarios 2012 Showing Success Individual agency programs advancing Michigan – probe data from a controlled fleet of test vehicles California – major corridor demonstrating “green wave” in Palo Alto Minnesota – gathering User Fee data from public volunteers I-95 Coalition – demonstrating aftermarket device for road side inspection Florida – ITSWC Demonstrations USDOT Safety Pilot
16	Scenarios 2012 Showing Success Develop a “National DSRC Footprint Analysis” Provide more specific direction for RSE infrastructure Corridors Defined Intersections selected for safety Analysis of denser urban RSE pockets Signal control safety Certificate management requirements
17	Scenarios 2013 – 2014 Jumpstarting Deployment USDOT NHTSA Agency decision Safety Pilot results Practioner’s Toolbox AASHTO Definitive plan for infrastructure Policy and Funding statements Peer Deplorers' Forum Best practices workshops VIIC & OEM’s Closer AASHTO collaboration
18	2015 – 2019 Expanding the Field Light vehicles equipped with DSRC start to appear ~ 7% of fleet AASHTO begins to shift from commercial and agency emphasis to light vehicle emphasis for RES deployments Now RSE foot print shifts to a nation wide network Agency selected applications advancing
19	Scenarios 2020 – 2023 Taking Solutions to Market Model year zero for DSRC Vehicle Introduction In four years 30% of vehicles equipped with DSRC safety Begin RSE expansion to prepare for early embedded vehicles VIIC analysis – 5000 RSE initial for certificate management High priority intersections, safety zones, commercial and emergency vehicle sites Applications supporting agency operations maturing AASHTO “Green Book” Design Guidelines used to guide installations and operations AASHTO Application store for agency applications?
20	Scenarios 2020 – 2023 Taking the Solutions to Market Widespread 4G (& newly available 5G) services increasingly widespread along with a large national DSRC infrastructure Variety of connected vehicle applications available through the public and private sector resulting in improved safety and agency operations
21	Scenarios 2024 – 2029 Growing to Meet Demand Vehicle fleet equipped with DSRC grows from 30% - 70% V2V & V2I benefits becoming apparent to all Agencies operating a large national infrastructure of DSRC communications DSRC infrastructure explicit part of design, construction, operations Applications fully integrated into agency operations
22	AASHTO Strategies 2011 Information Exchange Program Semi annual workshops through SSOM Technical briefings – papers, web calls Advice Memorandums to USDOT Procurement Guidance phase 1 USDOT qualified product list Formal education & outreach program Establish Joint planning committee for national DSRC footprint
23	AASHTO Strategies 2012 Broaden awareness through education & outreach program Joint AASHTO/VIIC Committee publishes national DSRC footprint requirements to prepare for initial deployments AASHTO policy on minimum infrastructure deployment levels by all members AASHTO develops formal “Connected Vehicle” Infrastructure Design Guides
24	AASHTO Strategies 2013 - 2014 Adopt policy for minimum levels of deployments in each state To ensure above can be achieved AASHTO adopts a national funding approach Creation of a Deployment Support program Peer Deployer’s program Formal Association relationship for deployment USDOT, VIIC, NACo, Etc
25	AASHTO Strategies Beyond 2014 Prepare for national build out Reasonable to assume that the NHTSA agency decision will be combined with a national infrastructure decision? Update design guides Policies on public – private investments for capital and operations
26	Companion Activities Pooled Fund States – traffic ctrl, pavement assessment, SPaT DMA – FHWA; 1) SE, 2) Field test for traffic management & control Certification HW/SW OBE Aftermarket Device JPO Activities Safety Pilot - learn Regional pilots ~ 2014 NCHRP G03 – (101) Benefit Assessment & DSRC VIIC Discussions & Collaboration
