Exercise Ground Rules
  • For today’s exercise, these items can’t be changed
    • Evaluation criteria
    • Data Environment assumptions
    • Application concepts (no altering or adding new ones)
  • Policy-related issues are NOT in play for discussion
    • Intellectual Property, Privacy, Access/Security, Meta-data, Quality, Aggregation, Standards, Financial/Business Models….
    • If these topics come up, we will park the discussion until tomorrow, when we have special session to deal with these in turn

Today’s Exercise
(Part 1) Scorecards
  • Feedback materials provided in the breakout rooms
    • Application scorecards
    • 3 poker chips (for voting)
  • Facilitators will brief assumptions about the data environment that applications can draw upon
  • Facilitators will clarify application evaluation criteria
  • Consider a set of (up to 12) IntelliDrive application concepts
    • Facilitators provide one slide that describes the application
    • Field questions and clarifying discussion
    • Individually, you rate the application (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) against the criteria on your scorecard

10
Today’s Exercise
(Part 2) Voting
  • Once you have scored each application, each participant votes for the three most promising applications
    • “Most promising”: strong potential for transformative impact, low deployment risk, and clear alignment with IntelliDrive program objectives
    • BLUE = 3 points (top priority)
    • RED = 2 points (second-highest priority)
    • WHITE = 1 point (third-highest priority)
    • Deposit your chips in the voting bins identified for each application
      (also turn in your scorecards)
  • Quick break (5 minutes) to tabulate the results
  • Reconvene to consider results within each breakout
    • Discuss the implications of your group process
    • Identify a presenter from your group for the breakout report at 3 PM

Candidate Applications Prioritization Criteria
  • Prioritization Criteria
    • Potential for transformative impact
    • Makes use of IntelliDrive data
    • Significant stakeholder interest
      • Your input from this workshop is one measure of stakeholder interest
      • We have conducted similar exercises with several stakeholder groups
    • Can evolve from near-term state to long-term state
    • Potential to be released as open source
    • Cross-modal impact

  • The program cannot fund every idea
  • Exercises as a part of this workshop inform the federal team understanding of each application, but do not determine application priority
