5	Overview Safety Pilot Policy V2I Safety Data Capture and Management Dynamic Mobility Applications AERIS
6	Safety Pilot Objectives Generate empirical data for supporting 2013 and 2014 decisions Show capability of V2V and V2I applications in a real-world operating environment using multiple vehicle types Determine driver acceptance of vehicle-based safety warning systems
7	Safety Pilot Objectives (cont) Assess options for accelerating the safety benefits through aftermarket and retrofit safety devices Extend the performance testing of the DSRC technology Collect lots of data and make it available for industry-wide use Let others leverage the live operating environment

9	Device Installation Examples (Passenger vehicles - Drivers’ own vehicles)
10	Commercial Vehicle Fleets (3 Integrated Trucks, 16 Retrofits, ~50 VADs) Food-service products for restaurants, schools, etc. Mix of tractors, trailers Sysco Detroit LLC Less-than-truckload carrier (daytime pickup/delivery, nighttime line-haul) UMTRI/DOT partner in past projects Con-way Freight
11	Transit Vehicle Fleets (3 Integrated Buses, ~100 Vehicle Awareness Devices) Operates 61 buses Model deployment area spans two separate campuses with high bus traffic between and within. University of Michigan Operates 67 buses Active in national programs Ann Arbor Transit Authority
12	Policy Research Focus Determine if V2V is feasible to implement Security Needs Functional Requirements Physical/Technical Requirements Operational & Organizational Requirements Financial Sustainability and Responsibility
13	Policy - Security Network The V2V/V2I system requires communications media for two critical purposes: Secure communications for distribution of certificates and revocation lists to make sure that entities on the system are legitimate users Trusted communications for delivering safety application data and messages (and, potentially, other applications and services) I
14	Critical Questions Which communications media can support the needs for distributing security certificates? Choices include: Existing Cellular Networks Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) WiFi Vehicle-Based Security Option What are advantages and limitations of each? How should the organizational functions of security certificate distribution and management be structured? Who should be responsible for them and how should they be funded initially and over time?

16	Supportable Operationally – Certificate Management Develop Certificate Management Organizational/Operational Models: Roles and responsibilities Organizational models Project Schedule: Options due in winter 2011 Public meeting in April 2011 (for organizational analysis and network options – interim analysis for both projects) Prototype testing: June 2012 Test Results and Evaluation of Approach: Jan 2013 Final Report: July 2013
17	Supportable Operationally – Financial Models All security network options require financing for operational support All public – politically feasible? Public/private partnership – what type of framework? All private – where’s the value? Data Transactions Spectrum Other
18	V2I Safety Enabling Technologies – Working Towards an Integrated V2I Prototype Signal Phase and Timing Positioning Communications Mapping End of 2012 Applications Broad Concept of Operations Transit Applications Smart Roadside Working towards launching application development in 2012
19	Data Capture and Management: Near-term Data Products
20	Data Capture and Management – Key Issue Assessment of Data Elements in the SAE J2735 - Basic Safety Message What can we do with the Data if delivered only via DSRC (Density of roadside locations to be effective)? What can we do if the data is delivered via other communication media? Are there other critical data elements? Do we need to modify the SAE J2735 Probe Data Message Process and do we need to develop a performance criteria standard?
21	Dynamic Mobility Applications 6 Mobility Bundles Seclected Contracts awarded to develop Concepts of Operations Stakeholder Workshops to Gather User Needs in progress EnableATIS – held Dec 8, 2011 FRATIS – held Nov 3, 17, 29 and Dec 3, 2011 INFLO – to be held February 8, 2012, in Washington DC IDTO – to be held January 26-27, 2012, in Washington DC R.E.S.C.U.M.E. – TBD M-ISIG – TBD Mobility Stakeholder Workshop being planned for ITSA Annual Meeting May 2012 in Washington DC
22	AERIS Identified Transformative Apps - Eco-Signals, Eco-Lanes, Low Emissions Zones, Support for Alternative Fuel Vehicle operations, Eco-Traveler Information, and Eco-ICM Coordinated Nationally and Internationally - Held six webinars (Intro to AERIS, two on State of the Practice Reports, and three on the BAA research results), US/EU Sustainability Working Group (Vienna, Orlando), Japan METI and MLIT Developed detailed outlines for each of the transformative Concepts in preparation for development of ConOps for each Planning a public workshop March 14-15 in Washington, DC to further discuss data and other requirements for the TCs Registration information and draft agenda to be developed and circulated soon.
23	Coming Soon / What Should I Do Review the Recently Released Connected Vehicle System Architecture Qualified Products Lists for Vehicle Awareness Devices Aftermarket Safety Devices Roadside Equipment Consider Buying Some, Get Engaged, Do Some Research USDOT to post Mobility Research Questions soon Considering additional Challenges using equipment and data Stakeholder Input Sessions Safety - August Dynamic Mobility Applications - May AERIS - March Policy - April Attend, Contribute, Lead Updated Connected Vehicle Testbed coming soon
