ITS Strategic Research Plan 2010-2014
A Truly Multimodal and Connected Effort
  • Vision


  • To research and facilitate a national, multimodal surface transportation system that features a connected transportation environment around vehicles of all types, the infrastructure, and portable devices to serve the public good by leveraging technology to maximize safety, mobility, and environmental performance.


  • Plan developed with full participation by all
  • surface transportation modal administrations
  • as well as with significant interaction with
  • multi-modal stakeholders.

ITS Research Program Components
5
Progress - Step One – Accelerate V to V Safety
  • Accelerate Benefits
    • Basic Safety Message Broadcast Devices (Here I am) – Working with 6 vendors (Autotalks, Cohda Wireless, Denso, DGE, ITRI, Savari Networks) (Need a new name for “Here I Am”, any thoughts?)
    • ASD – selected 4 suppliers
    • RSE – selected 4 suppliers
  • Working on Technical / Policy Tradeoffs for Security
  • Working on DVI Guidelines


6
Progress - Step Two - Demonstrate Safety
  • Safety Pilot
  • Test Conductor Procurement is Under Way
  • Schedule 6 Light Vehicle Driver Clinics
7
Progress - Step Three – Define the System and Establish a Testing Environment
8
Progress - Step Four - Build V to I Safety, Mobility, and AERIS Data Environments and Applications
  • V to I for Safety – Working on V to I Con Ops, Transit Con Ops, Smart Roadside Con Ops and on a SPAT Con Ops
  • MOBILITY – DCM-Prototype the Data Environment of the Future – Preparing for an Open Data Manager Contract
  • MOBILITY – DMA-Prototype, Field Test and Analyze Mobility Applications
    • 6 concept of operations and data requirements recently awarded
  • AERIS - Define 7 Transformative Applications


9
Progress Step Five – Build a Reference Implementation
  • 2011
  • Testbed is Up and Running. Interoperable equipment in California, Florida, New York, Michigan, Virginia, and Network Operations in Tennessee


  • 2012 to 2013
  • Reflect the System Architecture
  • Utilize Harmonized International Standards
  • Implement a Certification Process
  • Implement a Governance Process
  • Implement a Security Process
10
Progress Step Six - Conduct Regional Pilots
  • Begun Discussing the Theme with Stakeholders
  • Multiple Implementation Areas
  • Opportunity to Pilot a variety of applications per area’s need (Sites choose from a suite of field tested applications)
  • Seeds Implementation
  • Uses Lessons Learned from Safety Pilot
  • Builds on a Stakeholder Defined Architecture
  • Accelerates DSRC for Safety
  • Leverages Available Wireless Communications for Mobility and Environment Applications
  • Leverages Private Sector Investments Occurring Now
