Some of you may be wondering how you got selected for this…

Not a lot of information about EnableATIS out there just yet.

This is the first of a three-tiered outreach approach to obtaining multimodal, multi-field, multi-perspective input on the future directions for the EnableATIS concept.

This introductory webinar today is designed to provide you with a little background about EnableATIS, context of EnableATIS within the Connected Vehicle and DMA programs, and give you some “think ahead” information about the upcoming workshop.

We want to describe the upcoming workshop, preliminary agenda, other logistics.

There will also be an electronic feedback form where we would like to get some advanced input from different perspectives on needs, goals and challenges with the next generation traveler information discussions…

The Mobility program consists of two areas: Real time Data Capture and Management and Dynamic Mobility Applications.

Data from multiple sources and of multiple types (such as location data, transit data, weather data, vehicle status data and infrastructure data) are captured, cleaned and integrated into a data environment. The data is then used by multiple applications:

•enhanced weather applications (e.g., real-time weather advisory information or warning systems)

•real-time transit signal priority

•real-time traveler information systems

•environmental applications, such as eco drive

•safety alerts, queue warning systems

Real-time Data Capture and Management addresses the capture, cleaning and integration of data in real time. Dynamic Mobility applications addresses the use of data in real time to develop and deploy enhanced or transformative mobility applications that will enable system users, and system managers to:

•make more informed travel choices

•enable better system operations for optimal performance

•improve major investment plans

This slide is an illustrative example. It is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all applications that the Dynamic Mobility Applications program will consider nor does it list all the data sources that the Data Capture and Management program will consider.

[Bob, transition to Karl]

Next we will examine Dynamic Mobility Applications.

As mentioned previously, we don’t collect data for nothing. We need to do something useful with it, specifically developing applications that maximize system productivity and enhance mobility of individuals within the system. The focus is primarily on public sector applications but we’re not ruling out private sector applications.

The program will leverage multi-source data to develop and assess the applications that show potential to improve dynamic decision making.

We will identify the potential benefits that can be realized by these applications. The applications will be prioritized with the help of stakeholders based on the potential benefits, deployment costs, institutional and technical risks, and stakeholder acceptance.

Only when we have proven in a smaller test environment or a demonstration that it really works, can we move to a deployment phase.

[Bob]

Bob to introduce, provide a description of how we got to EnableATIS… how EnableATIS represents a next-gen approach to traveler information, considering the anticipated advances with Connected Vehicles, more and better data through a variety of sources, etc.

[Transition to Lisa]

[Lisa]

How we got to EnableATIS – talk very briefly about some of the trends and shifts in the traveler information marketplace

Just for some context:

Apple - phone released June 29, 2007

first 3rd party games available August 4, 2007

iPhone app store opens July 11, 2008

now 15,000,000,000 apps downloaded as of July 2011

New York MTA, in August, 2009 MTA was suing developers, in May, 2010 MTA opens their data and holds a developer conference

Point is – things are moving FAST in this industry! And surprisingly, philosophical/business model shifts are occurring at a rapid pace.

[Lisa]

Purposeful selection of stakeholders to include in this visioning activity. Wanted a good mix of perspectives – federal, national, state and local agency, multimodal as well as members of the research community and private sector.

[Lisa]

Describe what we are expecting from stakeholders in this process.

[Lisa]

Highlight action verbs

Ask for some initial thoughts on vision (perhaps later in the presentation??)

Will be discussed at the workshop.

Provide a little context for how we got here – what we mean by transformational, emphasis on the link to open source data and enhanced data sharing.

[Lisa]

Need to define who will be contacting them, when they will be notified, etc.

[Lisa]

Need to state the importance of being in person but if can’t a portion of the workshop will be offered in webinar – the portion that is breakout will not be webinar

[Lisa]

Emphasize the workshop will begin to examine detail into, roles, applications, operational scenarios, interactions and business practices

[Lisa]

Discuss the electronic feedback – web survey between webinar and workshop, assume this will be available on the announcements page and open to a broader audience
