Dynamic Mobility Applications
  • Vision
  • Expedite development, testing, commercialization, and deployment of innovative mobility applications:
    • maximize system productivity
    • enhance mobility of individuals and goods movement 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
4
Guiding Principles
  • 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






5
Leverage Multi-Source Data
  • 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
6
Multi-Modal Applications Development and Test in an Open Source Environment
  • Coordinated development of mode-specific and multi-modal applications in an open source environment in order  to:
    • avoid duplication
    • be cost-effective
7
Candidate Applications Concepts
  • Goal
  • Identify, with help of stakeholders, collection of applications for development and testing in the next phase  of the DMA Program
  • Approach
  • Solicit ideas for transformative applications that improve decision making by system managers and users
    • Template available for submission of ideas at: http://www.its.dot.gov/intellidrive/app_template/DMA_template.htm
    • Initial request closed on Aug 31; second call issued (closes Oct 15)
    • 47 submittals with 50 application ideas as of last week
  • Combine suggested applications to avoid to focus interest
  • Prioritize condensed list for future development and testing
  • Submitted aps are on line (at url listed above).
8
Summary Assessment of Concepts Received
  • Wide ranging collection of mode-specific and multi-modal ideas
9
Characterization of Concepts
  • Broad cross-section of ideas at various levels of
  • risks and deployment timescale
10
Example Mapping of Application Concepts
  • Overlapping data needs and
  • synergy between application concepts
11
Candidate Applications Prioritization Criteria
  • Potential for transformative impact
  • Makes use of IntelliDrive data, i.e. multi source data
  • Significant stakeholder interest
  • Can evolve from near-term state to long-term state
  • Potential to be released as open source
  • Cross-modal impact







12
Submitting New Concepts
  • Got a transformative idea that utilizes IntelliDrive data?
    • Fill out template online: http://www.its.dot.gov/intellidrive/app_template/DMA_template.htm
    • Or, fill out a template off-line and send it via e-mail

  • Template requires high-level description of idea
    • Problem being addressed
    • Transformative benefits
    • How the idea makes use of IntelliDrive data

  • Deadline for getting your idea in: 15 October 2010


13
Next Steps
  • Assess ideas received through 15 October 2010
    • Research needs derived at this workshop will inform our prioritization
    • Preliminary assessment available at: http://www.its.dot.gov/intellidrive/app_template/DMA_template.htm
  • Analyze collective input for clusters of promising applications concepts that have similar data needs
  • Prioritize with stakeholder groups at various venues from now until December
  • Solicit stakeholder feedback on draft prioritized list at IntelliDrive Mobility Workshop (1-2 December in Washington, DC)
  • Announce finalized list at TRB 2011
  • Issue solicitations to develop selected concepts shortly after TRB 2011
