1	Moving From Research to Implementation AASHTO Perspective AASHTO Deployment Coalition September 26^th, 2012 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
2	Agenda State Pooled Fund Implementation Activities AASHTO Outreach Activities National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Analysis Summary
3	Pooled Fund Partnership with FHWA and the DMA program Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System Intelligent Traffic Signal System Transit Signal Priority Mobile Accessible Pedestrian Signal System Emergency Vehicle Preemption Freight Signal Priority Arizona and California Sites
4	NCHRP 03-101 Costs and benefits of Connected Vehicle infrastructure deployment by state and local agencies Emphasis on direct benefits (cost savings) to agencies, rather than broader societal benefits Focus on case study-based analyses in several representative states Virginia case study underway Results due early 2013 Initial findings presented at Nov 19^th ELT Meeting DSRC State Guidance Provide state of readiness and licensing strategies
5	Outreach Activities Operations Committee (SSOM) Connected Vehicle an emphasis area Colorado DOT Director spearheading ITS World Congress 7 state DOT directors; President, Vice President, past presidents, large states CA, FL, MI Administration Committee NHTSA legal & State legal Traffic Engineering Committee Taskforce Establish awareness of the C.V. world Resolution to support implementation Communications Committee State DOT communications directors Establish awareness Solicit their resources to spread the word
6	Where is AASHTO today? Our future vehicle world – we can begin to see it now; consequently we: Need clarification of the opportunities and obligations there are for the states Need to start engaging more of the state and local agency decision makers in a deployment discussion.
7	National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis Preliminary concept for field infrastructure deployed by state & local agencies Could be used by private consortia to design, build, operate, finance Compelling justification of agency value Provide tools for engaging state agencies Bring into focus applications that are of the greatest value to agencies
8	National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis Set of design concepts with high-level engineering detail Define set of deployment scenarios and How, where and when they can be deployed.. How they might be paid for.. Extrapolated to a national footprint… Phased deployment plan… Define national support needed…
9	Task 3 - Technical Memo for State and Local Participants Level of understanding varies dramatically across the nation’s state and local DOTs; consequently, we want to send them an alert: Why infrastructure deployment is beneficial What will deployment look like and when does it need to accomplished A successful transportation future will require a commitment to deployment Describe the concept in compelling terms and what they should be doing to prepare
10	Task 4 - Applications Analysis Effective deployment plan relies on understanding capital, operations, maintenance needs for each application or bundle (i.e. safety/mobility) Applications have different set of requirements for processing, data, communications, security, power and installation requirements The data needs of each application will be described and gaps addressed Table prepared with applications inventory, data requirements, communication options and infrastructure needs à Task 5
11	Task 5 - Design Concepts and Security & Architecture Gaps Use Task 4 output to create real-world design concepts with high-level engineering detail Location types – urban, rural, speed zones, intermodal, border crossings, more….. Readiness tiers – technical vs. institutional
12	Task 6 - Preliminary National Infrastructure Footprint and Phased Deployment Plan One of the most significant challenges is lack of a clear description and extent of field infrastructure - impediment to action Development of set of deployment scenarios Design concepts Funding strategies Challenges Timeline
13	Task 6 contd. Development of preliminary footprint Work with states within AASHTO Deployment Coalition ~ case study approach Develop extrapolation process to reach a national footprint Development coordinated phase deployment plan Establish approach for nationwide roll-out Processes, stakeholders, policies, institutional issues
14	Task 6 contd. Develop estimates of capital investment requirements and ongoing operational costs Design Procurements Communications and backhaul Installation Operations and maintenance Staff development
15	Task 7 – Final Report Final report incorporating the findings from Task 3 – 6 and presenting a national connected vehicle field infrastructure footprint and coordinated phased deployment plan
16	The Team
17	Schedule Task 3 delivery - 80 days after Notice to Proceed (NTP) Task 4 delivery – input into Task 5 Task 5 delivery – draft 120 days after NTP Task 6 delivery – draft 190 days after NTP Task 7 delivery – draft final report 330 days after NTP
