§Smart Roadside (FY 2010 investment up to $1,000,000)
Objectives:
úTo conduct research focused
on enhancing roadside enforcement operations through improved screening and automation of
inspection / compliance checks
úTo provide capabilities to
identify key entities (e.g., motor carrier, commercial vehicle, driver and cargo), and to communicate
security and compliance information from vehicle-to-roadside and vehicle-to-vehicle in
real-time at highway speeds
§Commercial Vehicle Information Systems & Networks
(CVISN) Core and Expanded (FY 2010 investment up to $850,000)
úObjective: To develop and
deploy ITS applications to support capabilities in three areas: (1) Safety Information Sharing
about commercial vehicles and motor carriers; (2) Credentials Administration for
commercial vehicles and motor carriers; and (3) Electronic Screening of commercial vehicles. Expanded CVISN focuses on Driver Information
Sharing, Enhanced Safety Information Sharing, Smart Roadside (automated vehicle
identification and electronic screening), and Expanded E-Credentialing (e.g.,
oversize/overweight permitting and hazardous materials permitting)
§Multi-modal Integrated
Payment Systems (FY 2010 investment
up to $1,500,000)
úObjective: To conduct
research to identify the technical, institutional and operational issues and impediments to deploying
regional, open–architecture, integrated multi-modal payment systems that accept multiple payment
media (FY 2010 investment up to $500,000);
and study technology options,
requirements and architectures to support a range of options while also assessing the technology underpinning for user charging
(FY 2010 investment up to $1,000,000)
§ITS Maritime Applications
(FY 2010 investment up to $500,000)
úObjective: To assess the
potential for increased efficiencies and improved system performance derived from the use of ITS
technologies in intermodal maritime applications
