15. Mobility has the lion’s share so far Share of ITS Applications

16. Meaning the future should be more balanced Share of ITS Applications

17. Overarching themes Projects • V2V and V2I trial and demonstration programs • Deployment of test-beds in each State, using the adopted architecture • Applications to support transport infrastructure management – monitoring Public policy • Education of the community on ITS • Distributed national centre of transport excellence

18. Victoria’s iTransport Discussion Paper

19. iTransport Discussion Paper • Transport challenges are growing, so greater need for smarter solutions • Priority outcomes for ITS • Provide reliable access and minimise congestion • Improve safety and security • Improve asset management • Better inform people about travel choices • Make the transport system more sustainable

20. iTransport Discussion Paper • Smarter infrastructure is an important part of the picture, but only part • More interaction between technologies creates new opportunities, and new challenges • Maintenance and renewal strategies “a must” • Government buy-in “a must”

21. It’s All About Connectivity “The Network” Opportunity for Innovation E-payment • Real Time Network Data Signal Phase and Timing • Situation Relevant Information Safety Messages Probe Data Instrumented Roadside Source: US DoT, Research & Innovative Technology Administration

22. Current Work…..from 2009 • Austroads Projects • NS 1524 Defining Applicability of International Standards for Intelligent Transport Systems • NS1657 Best Practice Study on the use of ITS Standards in Traffic Management • NS1696 Development of a National ITS Reference Architecture • Best Practice Procurement for ITS • AP-R375/11 Potential Safety Benefits (25-35%) - MUARC • Response to ACMA 5.9 GHz White Paper • Austroads Cooperative ITS Steering Committee • A point of focus for the ITS A Strategy • NT1632 C-ITS Strategic Plan (ARRB) • A development roadmap • Industry Reference Group • Satellite interference studies • Enhanced international engagement in standards development • Increased interest in global deployment trials

23. Issues • Dynamic/uncertain environment • Project development with national coordination • Links to global developments • Interoperability of numerous applications • Functions, responsibilities, liabilities, governance • Privacy and security • Human-machine interface • Digital mapping and positioning • Various communications methods – not just 5.9 GHz • Aftermarket applications • Conflict between public & private objectives • Consumer confidence and market penetration

24. Federal Govt Policy Framework for ITS in Australia Policy Principles: • ITS development and implementation must deliver demonstrable benefits to individuals and the community • The policy environment in which ITS are developed must be robust and dynamic

25. Priority Action Areas Network Architecture • Austroads to develop specifications for a National ITS Architecture Policy Leadership • All relevant agencies and bodies to be advised of the framework Cooperative ITS Strategy • Austroads developing a National C-ITS Strategy 5.9GHz Spectrum for DSRC • Spectrum arrangements to be finalised with ACMA

26. Priority Action Areas Government Industry Linkages • Governments to work with ITS Australia to strengthen Innovation • Monitor developments overseas Privacy • Consider the National Privacy Principles application to ITS Economic Analysis of Smart Infrastructure • Incorporate results of BITRE analysis

27. Priority Action Areas Standards Development • Develop a more strategic approach Managed Motorways • Implementation of $60m funded in 2011/12 • Commonwealth budget + further development Governance • Consider new collaborative governance arrangements Research and Development • Encourage work and initiate strategy development

28. Level Crossing Safety • V2I level crossing warning system • Train transmits approach message to roadside unit • Roadside unit broadcasts (directionally limited) to vehicles within designated approach zone, covering >700m • One approach is radio interrupt warning in-vehicle • Victorian Government innovation investment led to field demonstration in April 2011 • Demonstration focused on very low cost technology • Longer term adoption as application in broader cooperative ITS platforms

29. Intelligent Speed Assist • Speed Intervention Trials in Vic, NSW & WA • Use of Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) technology • Well developed technology, but there have been barriers to adoption (accuracy and maintenance of data) • Target trial for repeat offenders initially to assess suitability of approach • Develop supporting infrastructure, including speed zone maps

30. A smart solution – Managed Motorways Managed motorways, including: Variable speed limits and lane use management Coordinated freeway ramp signals Enhanced traveller information Network intelligence Current Australian examples M1 Upgrade (Vic) Gateway Upgrade Project (Qld) Western Australia 2011/12 Budget $61.4M budget allocation M1 – Westgate in Vic M4 in Sydney Gateway Motorway (Nudgee to Bruce Hwy)
