"Vision"
  • Vision
    • Expedite development, testing,
      commercialization, and deployment
      of innovative mobility application
      • maximize system productivity
      • enhance mobility of individuals within the system
  • Objectives
    • Create applications using frequently collected and rapidly disseminated multi-source data from connected travelers, vehicles (automobiles, transit, freight) and infrastructure
    • Develop and assess applications showing potential to improve nature, accuracy, precision and/or speed of dynamic decision
    • Demonstrate promising applications predicted to significantly improve capability of transportation system
    • Determine required infrastructure for transformative applications implementation, along with associated costs and benefits
  • Project Partners
  • Strong internal and external participation
      • ITS JPO, FTA, FHWA R&D, FHWA Office of Operations,
        FMCSA, NHTSA, FHWA Office of Safety

Transformative Application Bundles:
Identification of Prioritization Approach
  • Goal
  • Identify, with help of stakeholders, collection of applications for
    • development and testing in Phase 2 of Program
  • Approach
  • Solicit ideas for transformative applications
    • Initial request closed on 31 July; second call closed 15 October
    • More than 90 submittals, quantity and quality exceeded expectations
  • Share concepts with our stakeholders throughout the process
  • Refine concepts to a manageable set of consolidated concepts (33)
    • Consolidated concepts used in variety of exercises at Mobility Workshop, 11/30-12/1/10 and with other stakeholder groups
    • ITE Task Force, Transit stakeholders, Freight stakeholders
  • Combine stakeholder and federal input to support program prioritization


  • Candidate Applications Prioritization Criteria
  • Potential for transformative impact
  • Makes use of connected vehicle data
  • Significant stakeholder interest

Transformative Application Bundles:
Bundling Rationale and Prioritization Process
  • Consolidate input from external stakeholder groups, workshop
  • Consider internal stakeholder priorities
    • Leveraging on-going or other planned research
  • Group Applications into Bundles
    • Similar high-level data needs
    • Interaction among applications predicted
    • Evident value in concurrent development
    • Encourage coordinated non-federal research activity
  • Bundling increases transformational impacts
    and reduces costs of research and development
  • Resource-constrained prioritization process based on expected value of developing application bundles, as well as individual applications
    • Applications the program cannot fund at this time are still candidates for collaborative development with other programs or stakeholders
  • High-Priority Application Bundles announced at TRB 2011
