2	ITS Research = Multimodal and Connected
3	Imagine! Connected Transportation
4	ITS Strategic Research Plan 2010-2014 Multimodal and Connected Vision To research and facilitate a national, multimodal surface transportation system that features a connected transportation environment around vehicles of all types, the infrastructure, and portable devices to serve the public good by leveraging technology to maximize safety, mobility, and environmental performance. Plan developed with full participation by all surface transportation modal administrations as well as with significant interaction with multi-modal stakeholders.
5	ITS Research Program Components
6	Step One – Accelerate V to V Safety Develop a Core Set of Applications Conduct Benefits Assessment Develop Driver Vehicle Interface Guidelines Define Globally Harmonized Standards Assess Security Issues Accelerate V to V DSRC Devices Basic Safety Message Broadcast Devices (Here I am) Aftermarket Safety Devices Prepare for 2013 NHTSA Agency Decision
7	Step Two - Demonstrate Safety Safety Pilot Major road test and real world implementation taking place 2011 – 2013 involving: Multiple vehicle types Fully integrated systems and aftermarket devices Also to test Prototype security mechanisms Certification processes
8	Safety Pilot continued Goals Support V2V and V2I applications development and testing Obtain benefits data to support NHTSA 2013 agency decision on V2V communications Create public awareness & determine user acceptance Outcomes Benefits and user acceptance data Archived road network data for supporting mobility, environmental, and other industry research Multiple supplier sources for devices and infrastructure (qualified product lists for “here I am”, roadside equipment and aftermarket safety) Better understanding of the operational policy issues associated with the deployment of V2V and V2I
9	Progress - Step Three – Define the System and Establish a Testing Environment
10	Step Four - Build V to I Safety, Mobility, and AERIS Data Environments and Applications V to I for Safety – Accelerate Signal Phase and Timing (SPAT) Based Applications, Smart Roadside, and Transit Prototype the Data Environment of the Future – All Vehicles as Probes and Open Data Prototype, Field Test and Analyze Mobility Applications Use Open Source Software Approach to accelerate deployment Define and Test AERIS Applications
11	Mobility Program
12	Progress Step Five – Build a Reference Implementation 2011 Testbed is Up and Running. Interoperable equipment in California, Florida, New York, Michigan, Virginia, and Network Operations in Tennessee 2012 to 2013 Reflect the System Architecture Utilize Harmonized International Standards Implement a Certification Process Implement a Governance Process Implement a Security Process
13	Progress Step Six - Conduct Regional Pilots Started Planning and Discussing the Theme with Stakeholders Multiple Implementation Areas Opportunity to Pilot a variety of applications per area’s need (Sites choose from a suite of field tested applications) Seeds Implementation Uses Lessons Learned from Safety Pilot Builds on a Stakeholder Defined Architecture Accelerates DSRC for Safety Leverages Available Wireless Communications for Mobility and Environment Applications Leverages Private Sector Investments Occurring Now
