ES05 - Traffic Management Infrastructure Deployment Models - Wednesday 24 October 2012, 11.00-12.30 Strauss 2 Room
<Greeting>
A vision for the future of infrastructure deployment models will include cooperation with the vehicle and deployment of V2I devices and applications.    The concept for Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) applications supporting safety, mobility and the environment has as its foundation underlying enabling technology, standards, and policies.  
•Multi-modal, transformational
   applications
•Requires a robust, underlying technological platform:
•well-defined technologies,
•interfaces,
•and processes
•Goal to deploy stable, interoperable, reliable systems
This presentation is focused on the Infrastructure part of the Connected Vehicle Program.

Initial set of V2I Safety Applications for Development
The ITS/JPO and FHWA completed a Crash Analysis Study, and ITS Migration Study to determine priority applications for the Connected Vehicle Environment.  FHWA has completed the Concept of Operations (ConOps) and System Requirements for three accelerated V2I applications.  The ConOps walkthrough was in April 2012 and Systems Requirements walkthrough was in June 2012.  An additional V2I Safety Applications listed here is one developed for transit buses, which will be evaluated during the Safety Pilot Model Demonstration.
Red light violation warning, curve speed warning, and stop sign gap assist are in accelerated development and will help to guide development of additional applications leveraging lessons learned in the initial stages of development. ConOps for these applications to be baselined the end of 2012.  The additional applications are also in early system development.  Development of these applications is expected to be complete by ………
Next Steps for Application Development
•Complete systems engineering high-level design (early 2013)
•Contract for application detailed design development (mid 2013)
oDesign documentation
oPrototyping
oSimulation / small-scale testing
oRefinement
•Perform field operational tests in a real world environment (mid 2014)
•Conduct multi-modal demonstrations (late 2014)

Transformative Mobility Applications ..May have more impact when BUNDLED together
The three along the top right are likely of interest to this audience:
Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System (M-ISIG Bundle), Advanced Integrated Corridor Management, and Intelligent Network Flow Optimization (INFLO)
[Below text is about M-ISIG, but you could talk about the other two.]
M-ISIG bundle development effort initiated by Cooperative Transportation System (CTS) Pooled Fund Study (Virginia DOT, lead)
The M-ISIG Bundle includes the Intelligent Traffic Signal System (I-SIG) application. This application would integrate data collected through wireless communications and other sources to improve traffic signal operations.
Overarching system optimization application accommodating transit and freight signal priority, preemption and pedestrian movements maximize overall arterial network performance.
M-ISIG Goals
•Field-test/demonstrate a Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System
•Use data via V2I wireless communications to maximize flows in real-time to improve traffic signal operations
•Utilize Transit Signal Priority, Freight Signal Priority and Emergency Vehicle Preemption strategies
•Support the accommodation of safe and efficient pedestrian movement of a more general nature.

The AERIS (Applications for the Environment Real-time Information and Synthesis) Program has defined six (6) Transformative Concepts or bundles of applications that leverage connected vehicle technologies that have the potential to yield significant reductions in emissions and fuel consumption.
Draft ConOps have been developed for the three Transformative Concepts on the left: Eco-Signal Operations, Dynamic Eco-Lanes, and Dynamic Low Emissions Zones. The AERIS Program will begin developing the Support for Alternative Fuel Vehicle Operations ConOps late Summer 2012.
Many of these applications rely upon V2I communications.

Highlight interoperability across technologies and collaborative development opportunities that produce systems capable of jurisdictional cooperation.

A regulatory approach would require manufacturers to include equipment in new cars by a future date
Inclusion in NCAP would enable manufacturers to earn higher government safety ratings for vehicles that support the V2V and V2I safety applications.

Blind Spot Warning/Lane Change Warning, which warns drivers when they try to change lanes if there is a car in the blind spot or an overtaking vehicle.
Forward Collision Warning, which alerts and then warns drivers if they fail to brake when a vehicle in their path is stopped or traveling slower.
Electronic Emergency Brake Lights, which notifies drivers when a vehicle ahead that they can’t see is braking hard for some reason.
Intersection Movement Assist, which warns the driver when it is not safe to enter an intersection—for example, when something is blocking a driver’s view of opposing traffic.
Do Not Pass Warning, which warns drivers if they attempt to change lanes and pass when there is a vehicle in the opposing lane within the passing zone.
Control Loss Warning, which warns the driver when another nearby vehicle has lost control.

Graphic represents VDOTs proposed RSE locations along Route 66, 50 and 29 in Northern Virginia.
•The UTC is funding 9 initial research projects that focus on both interstate and arterial right-of-ways:
–Adaptive Stop/Yield
–Adaptive Lighting
–Intersection Management Using Speed Adaptation
–Eco-Speed Control
–Awareness System for Roadway Workers
–Emergency V2V Communication
–Freeway Merge Management
–Infrastructure Safety Assessment
–Safety and Congestion Issues Related to Public Transportation
•Additional research projects will be selected in a second round of project proposals in 2013

Benefit cost analysis will examine impacts on DOT’s operations, security management, cost/benefit considerations, funding options
DSRC deployment guidance will address state of readiness, licensing strategies, O&M guidelines, acquisition and issues for FCC consideration

This effort is being led by AASHTO
Efforts to broaden this initial nationwide footprint will be accomplished through deployment of high-value, high-priority applications at isolated locations. In the early years, this means emphasis will be placed on the following:
 
 A focus on commercial vehicles applications where DSRC can be used as a replacement or enhancement to the communications    mechanism in existing systems (such as transponders used for roadside screening or through the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) program)
 Research and implementation of methods that use DSRC for emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP) and transit signal priority (TSP) systems that would replace existing systems
 The identification and deployment of DSRC-based safety applications at isolated high volume, high accident locations where they will provide demonstrable benefits
AASHTO and its members will establish the specific applications to be pursued during the early deployments, shape the desired outcomes, and begin to educate and inform based on initial results.
