Nomadic Platform Concept Explores Role of
Mobile Devices and the Connected Traveler
Mobile Devices and the Connected Traveler
§Cross-Cutting Need to
Consider Mobile Devices
□Bundle development
efforts have noted the need to explore the potential value of BSM-capable mobile devices (DSRC, cellular and
dual-mode), e.g.,
▪PED-SIG pedestrian safety/mobility application
(M-ISIG)
▪INC-ZONE temporary work zone for responders (R.E.S.C.U.M.E)
▪Crowdsourcing traveler data for EnableATIS (itinerary data)
▪Flexible transit service matching and ridesharing (IDTO)
□Devices may
obtain or infer vehicle status data when carried into a vehicle
(e.g., obtain external temperature by using a camera to read dashboard display)
(e.g., obtain external temperature by using a camera to read dashboard display)
§Nomadic Platform
Concept
□Explore the potential of mobile devices and supporting
technologies to meet critical
application and data needs for both connected vehicles and travelers
§Next step: Prototyping
§Further discussion during exercises:
□Need your feedback on most critical
issues/opportunities with mobile devices
□Breakout sessions will use the following assumptions
