The Path to Deployment
9
NHTSA Agency Decision
  • 2013 NHTSA agency decision on V2V and V2I safety communications systems.  Options include:
    • Future regulatory action
    • Inclusion in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)
    • Further research and development
10
Safety Pilot Model Deployment
  • 3,000 vehicles (cars, buses, and trucks) equipped with V2V devices.
  • Provide data for determining the technologies’ effectiveness at reducing crashes.
  • Includes vehicles with integrated safety applications and others that use aftermarket devices (i.e., not built into the vehicle)
  • Applications to be tested include:
    • Blind Spot Warning/Lane Change Warning
    • Forward Collision Warning
    • Electronic Emergency Brake Lights
    • Intersection Movement Assist
    • Do Not Pass Warning
    • Control Loss Warning



11
Connected Vehicle Pooled Fund Study
  • Established in 2009
  • Currently involves 10 States, Maricopa County, AZ, Transport Canada – Virginia is lead State
  • Purpose is to aid transportation agencies in justifying and promoting the deployment of cooperative transportation systems through modeling, development, engineering, and planning activities

12
Infrastructure Deployment Planning
  • USDOT is working with state and local DOTs and private industry to plan for deployment
  • Standardized interfaces
    • Between vehicles
    • Between vehicles, roadside, and handheld devices
    • Between roadside equipment
    • Between roadside equipment and management centers
  • Certification processes for equipment and systems
  • Nationwide Security Credential Management System (SCMS)
  • National Cooperative Highway Research Program (2013 completion)
    • Benefit Cost Analysis for state and local DOTs, including funding options
    • DSRC deployment guidance for state DOTs
  • National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis (AASHTO led, 2014 completion)



13
National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis
  • Comprehensive and detailed study including a set of design concepts with high level of engineering detail illustrating the relationships between applications & infrastructure
  • Will define set of deployment scenarios
  • Will answer:
    • Why is a Connected Vehicle field infrastructure needed?
    • What form should the field infrastructure take?
    • Where is deployment of field infrastructure needed?
    • By when should field infrastructure be in place?
    • What are the cost, organizational, and institutional implications of deploying, operating, and managing field infrastructure?
    • What are the planning and funding strategies to put the infrastructure into place in a coordinated manner?


14
National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis
  • Will provide:
    • Preliminary national footprint of connected vehicle field infrastructure
    • Phased deployment plan, along with required actions and funding strategies
    • Cost estimates for deployment, operations, and maintenance.
    • Estimates of workforce and training requirements
    • Policy and guidance needs.
    • Identification of implementation challenges and required timeline for resolution


15
Exploration of Policy Issues Underway
  • System security
  • Privacy
  • Governance
  • Business Models
  • Legal Issues


16
Summary
  • Infrastructure based safety, mobility and environmental applications are under development
  • 2013 is a key decision milestone for vehicle equipage, which will significantly impact infrastructure deployment
  • Key deployment decisions have yet to be made
  • USDOT, state and local DOTs, and private industry are working together to make these decisions and move from research concepts to deployment
