- Vision
- Expedite development, testing, commercialization, and deployment of
innovative mobility applications that:
- 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 making by system
managers and system users
- Demonstrate promising applications predicted to significantly improve
capability of transportation system to provide safe, reliable, and
secure movement of goods and people

|
- Multiple applications developed leveraging multi-source data
- Research spurs commercialization
- Applications enable transformational change
|

|
10
|
- Leverage multi-source data
- Develop and test mode-specific and multi-modal applications
- Feature open source application research and development
- Encourage competitive application commercialization
- Prioritize program resources based on expected impact
- Enhance analytical capabilities related to mobility applications
- Practice long-term technology stewardship
|
|
11
|
- Leverage high-quality data integrated from mobile and fixed sources to
develop multiple applications (mode-specific and multi-modal)
- Requires coordination with Real-Time Data Capture and Management program
|
|
12
|
- Coordinated development of mode-specific and multi-modal applications:
- avoid duplication
- cost-effective
|
|
13
|
- Research issue is too complex or big for isolated researchers to solve
- Promotes highest level of collaboration
- Preserves intellectual capital
- Serves to engage partners from academia and industry who may not be
directly involved in funded applications development and testing
- Currently seeking to refine how best to structure open source agreements
- maximize collaboration
- without reducing innovation or endangering commercialization
|

15
|
- Develop prototype mobility application that focuses on performance
measures:
- exploits new or integrated data sources
- enhances traditional measures or creates new measures to capture full
impact of mobility applications
- Prioritization of development and test of candidate applications:
- applications must improve system productivity or user mobility
- well-defined, quantitative performance measures (multi-modal or mode
independent)
- applications must have broad stakeholder interest and support
|
|
16
|
- Develop analytic tools and processes to accurately predict impacts:
- assess long-term performance
- use real-time prediction to support improved decision making by
travelers, system managers and other transportation system stakeholders
(e.g., fleet operators)
- Employ tools to refine and identify promising applications prior to
committing resources for field testing or full demonstration
|
|

|
|
18
|
- Facilitate easy, secure access to data environment and enable
collaboration in mobility application development
- Accumulate and share intellectual capital while respecting IP rights
- Coordination with other IntelliDrive program areas and broader ITS
programs
- Active interaction with broader group of stakeholders outside the
federal research and development efforts
- Not a one-time engagement, will require ongoing collaboration to:
- refine program goals
- refine data needs
- structure relevant and feasible data environment development efforts
- prioritize applications development and testing

- Goal
- Identify, with help of stakeholders, collection of applications for
development and testing in Phase 2 of Program
- Approach
- Solicit ideas for transformative applications that improve decision
making by system managers and users
- Initial request closed on 31 July; second call closed 15 October
- More than 90 submittals received
- Summaries are available on the web:
- We will be using a consolidated version of these concepts during the
upcoming breakouts in this workshop
|
|
22
|
- Potential for transformative impact
- Makes use of IntelliDrive data
- Significant stakeholder interest
- Your input from this workshop is one measure of stakeholder interest
- Can evolve from near-term state to long-term state
- Potential to be released as open source
- Cross-modal impact

- Precise nature, extent and timing are not yet known, however, the
program expects to procure assistance in the following two areas:
- Analytical Needs Assessment
- Enhance current or develop new methods to estimate impacts of Phase 2
Applications
- Applications Development and
Field Testing
- Develop concepts of operations and requirements for promising
application concepts
- Develop and document applications utilizing data environments
- Consider inputs from stakeholders
- This workshop is one example
- Identify high-priority applications
- Announcement planned for TRB 2011
