BACK TO THE FUTURE?

2015: We don’t quite have time-traveling hovercars

Nevertheless, our transportation and infrastructure system is entering a period of profound change and evolution

The facilitator of this change?

Connected vehicles are the future of transportation:

• Connected vehicles can save lives by significantly reducing traffic accidents

• Connected vehicles can make travel easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable

• Connected vehicles can help curb pollution

• Connected vehicles include all modes of transportation as well as pedestrians

• Connected vehicle research is a partnership between the USDOT, the auto industry, and other public and private researchers

• Connected vehicles are not a threat to your privacy

CONNECTED VEHICLES: STATE OF THE PRACTICE

Disclaimer: Connected vehicles connect with more than just vehicles! (V2V)

□ Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), traffic

management facilities, and more (so-called V2X, where X is “everything”)

□ As more vehicles and devices connect, the more potential transformation

in how we manage and travel within the transportation system

□ Many different types of communication media

USDOT actively moving forward with groundbreaking research in the areas

of Safety, Mobility, Environment, and Road Weather

□ 57 total applications currently prototyped, designed, demonstrated,

simulated, or undergoing research

□ Safety Pilot Model Deployment in Ann Arbor, Michigan (2,700 vehicles)

U.S. Department of TransportationITS Joint Program Office


Program Categories Connected Vehicles program category will be primarily focused on adoption and

eventual deployment of the system.

Automation Research will focus on topics related to automated road-vehicle systems and related technologies that transfer some amount of vehicle control from the driver to the vehicle.

Emerging Capabilities will focus on future generations of transportation systems.

Enterprise Data programs will continue existing efforts in operational data capture from stationary sensors, mobile devices, and connected vehicles, and expand into research activities involving the development of mechanisms for housing, sharing, analyzing, transporting, and applying those data for improved safety and mobility across all modes of travel.

Interoperability focuses on how to ensure effective connectivity among devices and systems.

Accelerating Deployment advances the work from adoption to wider scale deployment in coordination with several other DOT agencies.

IMPACT ON PUBLIC WORKS: SAFETY FIRST!

Preliminary safety benefits: an 89% reduction in maximum deceleration in incident zones, as well as fewer instances of hard braking

Connected vehicle technology has the potential to mitigate a substantial number of the fatal accidents caused by human error

R.E.S.C.U.M.E. Demonstration Test Track in Maryland (Source: USDOT)

R.E.S.C.U.M.E. prototyping effort completed in Maryland (Spring 2015)

□ Demonstrated vehicle to vehicle safety messaging over dedicated short-range communications to improve the safety of emergency responders and travelers


IMPACT ON PUBLIC WORKS: SAFETY FIRST! Vehicles and infrastructure can connect to improve intersection safety

Stop Sign Gap Assist Application (Source: USDOT)



Initial analysis indicates that the Red-Light-Violation Warning scenario demonstrated that applying technology to only 10% of intersections may address up to 30% of potential crashes

Example: the Minnesota Red-Light-Violation Warning Application is a recently-completed pilot deployment that examined the effects of a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) safety application that warns drivers if there is an upcoming red light at a signalized intersection

Fleet managers can coordinate truck movements dynamically throughout the day


IMPACT ON PUBLIC WORKS: ROAD WEATHER The Road Weather Management Program seeks to better understand the impacts of

weather on roadways, and promote strategies and tools to mitigate those impacts. Envisioned is a system that provides "anytime, anywhere” road weather information for road users and road operating agencies

MOVING FORWARD: CV PILOT DEPLOYMENTS

The CV Pilots Deployment Program

will allow proposers (state DOTs,

local governments, university and

research institutions,

private/commercial entities, or a

teaming combination) to develop

functional, real-world deployments

that use connected vehicle

technology

Respondents may propose to further develop any current USDOT CV applications or, if

compelling, present their own concept for development

USDOT will provide funding, technical and outreach support, and other resources to

assist in the further development and successful deployment of these applications

Source: USDOT


MOVING FORWARD: CV PILOTS

The CV Pilots project will include two “waves” of deployments, with each “wave”

composed of three phases

□ Concept Development

□ Design/Test/Build

□ Operate and Maintain

Wave 1, Phase 1 of Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment effort imminent

□ Desire to develop a diverse group of deployments of varying applications/benefits,

sizes, and geographic locations


MOVING FORWARD: ADDITIONAL MILESTONES

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

How will CV technology interact with automation? They are not mutually exclusive!

What sort of policy and institutional mechanisms will develop to foster CV

deployment?

□ Privacy and other considerations

How will the auto industry respond?

□ Strong potential for OEM “boom”

How will connected vehicles fit in with “smart cities,” the Internet of Things (IoT),

etc.?
