•Weather
• Performance Management
Environmental Benefits• Reduce Emissions
• Save Fuel
PROBLEM
• 40,000 deaths/year (US)
• 6,000,000 crashes/year (US)
• Direct economic cost of $230 Billion
• Leading cause of death for ages 4 to 34
GOAL
IntelliDrive safety applications are designed to increase drivers’situational awareness and reduce or eliminate crashes through
• Driver Advisories• Driver Warnings and• Vehicle Control.
Safety Benefits
Imagine:
• Your vehicle can “see” vehicles you can’t see
• Your vehicle knows roadway conditions that you can’t see
• Your vehicle knows the speed and location of approaching vehicles
Safety Benefits
OPPORTUNITY
• IntelliDrive could potentially address 82% of the vehicle crash scenarios involving unimpaired drivers.
• At full coverage and full effectiveness, IntelliDrive could save thousands of lives per year.
REAR-END•Forward Crash Warning•Adaptive Cruise Control•Brake Assist•Automatic Braking
OFF ROADWAY•Lane Departure Warning•Lane Keeping•Curve Speed Warning•Stability Control
CROSSING PATHS•Intersection Movement Assist•Stop Sign & Signal Violation Warnings
LANE CHANGE•Blind Spot Detection•Side Radar
Safety Benefits
PROBLEM
Traffic congestion $78 billion annual drain on the U.S. economy…– 4.2 billion lost
hours – 2.9 billion gallons
of wasted fuel = 58 fully loaded supertankers.
GOALTo achieve transformational system performance of the surface transportation network through:
•Capture of real time data from infrastructure and vehicles.
•Development of applications supporting public agency transportation management.
•Support for road weather management.
Mobility Benefits
Go California- Caltrans
A Performance Revolution is Coming!
• Integrated network performance
• Multi‐modal solutions
• Allocating transportation via price signals
Mobility Benefits
Imagine:• Managing system performance if you
knew where vehicles were in real time• Planning for your growth patterns
when you can see the complete traffic patterns around development
• Planning your travel if you knew real‐time conditions on all roads along your route

Mobility/Safety Benefits• Imagine:
• Managing your system for weather events if you knew specific information about the complete road surface
Mobility/Safety Benefits
OPPORTUNITY
• IntelliDrive can provide transportation agencies with– Dramatically improved quality and quantity of real‐time
traffic and road condition data;– Which would make it easier to manage transportation
systems efficiently.
• IntelliDriveSM can provide consumers– Real time info for rerouting.– Real time info on modal options.

Environmental Benefits
Research is well underway:– V2V and V2I Safety Roadmaps
• Decision on NHTSA rulemaking in 2013 for vehicles
• Discussion and research needed for infrastructure
– Test Beds: • Michigan, California, New York
• Others are likely
– International Standards Harmonization
The Future is Sooner Than You Think
Research is well underway:– Policy Roadmap
• What to deploy
• Who deploys
• Where to deploy
• Who pays
– Collaboration with government and industry stakeholders
The Future is Sooner Than You Think
IntelliDriveSM
• Program Transparency– Open meetings of Working Group
– Public forums: V2I roadmap, policy roadmap
– Website upgrades• Interactive features
• Research results sharing tool
– Engagement of specific groups
