4	Three words to share about Connected Vehicles Jot down up to three words (one per note card) that come to mind when you think of the Connected Vehicle environment. The facilitators will collect your note cards to post on our Connected Vehicle Word Wall. Webinar participants: type your three words into the chat box.
5	Common Definitions Implementation – The strategy and activities to apply technology to satisfy specific needs. Adoption – First instance of technology selection and application. Deployment – Continued application and expanded use of technology.
6	Study of ITS Implementation Factors Objectives: Identify motivating factors for adopting and expanding use of ITS technology. Determine if continued implementation produced measurable effects. Understand what information best supports decision-makers needs and how to deliver it. Suggest actions the U.S. DOT can take to accelerate ITS technology adoption and deployment. Examine applicability toward connected vehicle technology and next generation ITS.

14	Preliminary Results – Implementer Factors With ITS mainstreamed, knowledgeable and skilled workforce are cited as most critical to ITS implementation.
15	Preliminary Results – External Factors Securing sources of funding is the most critical organizational factor for ITS implementation. To succeed, the project must be well aligned with overarching agency priorities, and stakeholders must be involved through all phases of the implementation.
16	Case Study: 511 Initiative Pre 2000 - various disconnected, local traveler information phone numbers July 21, 2000 - the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 511 as the single travel information telephone number to be made available to states & local jurisdictions across the country Organic growth in deployment without a significant gap from early adopters to early majority
17	Case Study: 511 Travel Information Telephone Services Deployment
18	Factors Contributing to 511 Success Strong Coalition with support from AASHTO, ITS America, APTA, and U.S. DOT that: Provided a peer network for deployment Championed a vibrant branding effort Developed standards and technical guidance User Needs Focused Systems developed to address end user Coordination of traveler information across modes Common branding – recognizable across jurisdictions Success was visible and measurable Planning Assistance Program Help defray the costs associated with converting existing traveler information telephone numbers to 511 Help agencies plan for 511 systems and fill gaps in 511 planning
19	Top 5 Lessons Looking to Connected Vehicles Recognize that unforeseen shortcomings of new systems may result in long-term risk aversion, pushing innovators and early adopters toward the late majority for technology acquisition. 4. Demonstrations should engage diverse constituents in terms of modality, levels of congestion, and size of deployment to establish a robust peer group for market share growth. 3. To more effectively initiate technology implementation, clearly define and publicize the benefits cases for connected vehicle as the first step followed by price, interoperability or other features. 2. Develop a strong coalition for education and information dissemination through PCB, AASHTO, APTA, and other media to inform the public sector, trucking industry, and end users. 1. Leverage funding models in fostering the innovation and early adoption while establishing a users group.

22	Case Study: Bluetooth Implementation Bob Koeberlein, P.E. Mobility Services Engineer Idaho Transportation Department Robert.Koeberlein@itd.idaho.gov
23	ITS Implementation Process at ITD Needs are identified typically through the ITS Strategic Plan and architecture development. Projects are proposed by HQ or the Districts in the annual update to the 5 year Surface Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP is released for public comment, approved by the Transportation Board, and then approved by Idaho FHWA office. We typically use the Term Agreement (pre-qualified on-call list) for consultant design services. We use either a low bid approach or a best value approach for ITS projects.
24	Freeway Monitoring Implementation – 1 of 2 In 2009, ITD started a pilot project to quantify freeway congestion in the Boise area (I-84 and I-184) supporting two goals: Performance monitoring Traveler information Contract with a 3^rd party data provider was executed.
25	Freeway Monitoring Implementation – 2 of 2 The team decided to evaluate a Bluetooth data collection approach. RFP was advertised and a vendor selected to furnish 10 units plus the data service. System implementation occurred in 2011. After initial problems were resolved, data collection is going well.

27	ITD Current ITS Project Priorities HQ office is assuming more of a support role for ITS. Project initiation coming from the district offices. RWIS sites have become a priority with the district offices. Technology supports performance measures, winter maintenance, and winter mobility. Funding for planned HAR and DMS projects in FY12 and FY13 has been redirected to expanding the RWIS network.

31	Case Study: Last Mile Comm. Deployment
32	City of Scottsdale – by the Numbers 86 CCTV Cameras 35 fixed dynamic message signs 65 miles of fiber trunk and 55 miles of public/private fiber trunk 300 traffic signals TMC can accommodate Police Very “long” geographic area
33	The Communications Challenge City faced with 10-15% cuts in operations budget Leased phone contract to reach 70 ‘last mile’ signals costing $21K/month Existing phone lines did not have capacity for video, or would need upgrading at higher monthly costs For years, the TMC was looking for better solutions to the “last mile” of communications but not finding systems that met needs.
34	The Last Mile Communications - Exploration In 2009, we contacted seven radio vendors for equipment and bandwidth (4 MB) requirements. Tested 2 vendors for 1 year at 7 locations along a segment of roadway. Project went through Capital Funds Committee to secure $800K cost for radio system. City of Scottsdale Bond 2000 program totaling $358.2 million worth of capital improvement projects has ITS line item. Scottsdale has a 2% transportation sales tax which helped defer the cost of implementation. Project put out to bid. The vendor provides the radios and the city installs it.
35	The Last Mile Communications Deployment 140 radios purchased through a federal contract which replaced leased telephone lines to the traffic signals. Oct 2011 began implementation of radio. Completion of the system is expected Dec 2012. Expected M&O costs for system is $15K annually for replacement of device failures. Breakeven costs within 4 years, significant savings going forward.
36	Growth of ITS in Scottsdale Management is supportive of ITS, and the ITS department does not usually have trouble securing project funding. Given current constrained economic environment, the ITS department has shelved a few other projects. This Last Mile project was an easy sell.
37	ITS Communications Network Considerations All ITS devices need a complete communications infrastructure. The last mile connections are often the most expensive. The bandwidth usually remains the same for the last mile. Determining bandwidth requirements is imperative, consider all potential partners.
