1	91^st Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting January 23, 2012 The State of the Intelligent Transportation Systems Industry Session # 316 Shelley Row Director Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office Research and Innovative Technology Administration, USDOT
2	1992
3	Strategic Plan for IVHS
4	20-Year Look Back Top level view of the 20-year vision established by planners: Implementation of a national ITS Program Scope comparable to Interstate Highway System, but major difference – NOT exclusively a Government program Public-private sector partnerships – with major private sector involvement National system of travel support operating mode-to-mode and state-to-state to promote safe, expeditious, environmentally safe, and economic movement of people and goods A vigorous US ITS industry
5	INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY ACT (ISTEA) – 1991
6	20-Year Look Back: ISTEA Highlights New innovative technology research for transportation Organize & categorize functional areas – establish a common language Find out what works and what does not work – identify barriers to deployment Operational Tests Deployment
7	Transportation Equity Act for the 21^st Century (TEA-21) 1998
8	20-Year Look Back: TEA-21 TEA-21 (July 1998 – September 2005) funded two separate activities: ITS Research and Development Program Reaffirms Department’s role in advancing research, development and integrated deployment of ITS Creation and testing of vehicle infrastructure integration systems Address policy and institutional issues uncovered during ISTEA ITS Deployment Program ITS Integration Program Commercial Vehicle ITS Infrastructure (CVISN) Deployment Program Integrated Deployment Deployment Earmarks
9	20-Year Look Back: TEA-21 Other TEA-21 milestones
10	Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) 2005
11	20-Year Look Back: SAFETEA-LU Concept of deploying/integrating ITS is portrayed as in the mainstream of transportation Congress enacts Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) – ITS Deployment Program NOT renewed JPO focuses on development of fewer, high-impact, high-value projects to showcase benefits of ITS. Connected vehicle emerges as the emphasis. ITS Research Program focuses on connected vehicles. Modal administrations lead in operations and deployment. ITS is growing part of “mainstream” programs. Connected Vehicle Research Performance Management
12	How have we done with ITS deployment?
13	"77" 77% of 117 fixed bus route agencies have AVL & real-time arrival data in fleets 16,000+ fixed route buses equipped with smart card readers 451 heavy/rapid rail station equipped with smart cards Electronic Toll Collection: 99% of Toll plazas 94% Toll lanes
14	"50 states & District of..." 50 states & District of Columbia deployed: Safety information exchange Electronic credentialing & screening 33 states - Exchanging credential data via CVIEW/SAFER 28 States - Core CVISN Deployed 40 states have electronic screening systems at over 360 weigh stations with 70,000 participating trucking companies and about 500,000 transponder-equipped trucks
15	"Training – Professional Capacity Building..." Training – Professional Capacity Building (PCB) will reach 50,000 total participants this year National architecture Systems Engineering ITS Procurement ITS Standards ITS JPO participated in the development of 106 published standards (since 1995)
16	"266 Operational Traffic Management Centers..." 266 Operational Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) For collection of travel times: 7700 freeway miles under surveillance from roadside infrastructure 4500 miles under surveillance from vehicle probes 54% of all freeways in 75 metro areas are under surveillance
17	"For collection of travel times" For collection of travel times: 2464 arterial miles under surveillance from roadside infrastructure 1730 miles under surveillance from vehicle probes 50% of intersections in 75 metro are under electronic surveillance

28	Crashes Avoidance Has Arrived Functions Electronic Stability Control Adaptive Cruise Control Forward collision warning/avoidance Lane departure warning / avoidance Blind spot warning / avoidance Pedestrian warning / avoidance Driver Alert (fatigue) Night Vision Speed Sign Recognition
29	Today’s Intelligent Vehicles - What’s Available in a $20,000 Car? Adaptive cruise control Forward Collision Mitigation Blind spot information system Traffic sign recognition Lane keeping aid Driver alert
30	Connected Vehicle Program
31	NHTSA Agency Decision - 2013 Evaluation includes several factors: Technical functionality Vehicle-based technology Security network and back end functions Effectiveness of applications – Safety Pilot Cost Effective Supportable operationally Well managed Sustainable financially
32	Safety Pilot Sites Driver clinics Assess user acceptance Large-scale model deployment Obtain empirical safety data for estimating safety benefits
33	Critical Questions Which communications media can support the needs for distributing security certificates? Choices include: Existing Cellular Networks Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) WiFi No infrastructure option 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?
34	Autonomous Vehicle Activities DARPA – Grand Challenge & Urban Challenge Google – 160,000 miles of autonomous operation SARTRE: Safe Road Trains for the Environment European project Autonomous driving, platooning Lead vehicle in platoon human-driven Temporary Auto-Pilot Volkswagen driving semi-automatically at 130 kmph Within European HAVE-IT project VisLab Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge Truck Automation
35	Future Technology Evolution
36	20-Year Self-Assessment What happened in 20 years? Steady progress in advancing ITS technologies: $18 billion in ITS deployment by top 75 metro areas $3 billion in federal ITS funds Deployment happened where local and regional governments had priorities Investment happened where cost and perceived value made a case for deployment Fostering a partnership with private sector $48 billion U.S. ITS end-use products and services market – ITS America
