  1. The connected vehicle – driven by consumers or policymakers? Robert Cone – Chair PIARC-FISITA Joint Task Force Formerly Director Road Network Management for Wales

  2. The PIARC – FISITA Joint Task Force • PIARC historically provides a source of independent advice for Road Operators and Governments world-wide • FISITA an association of the organisations representing automotive engineers The JTF • Draws on expertise within PIARC and FISITA • Does not undertake own research • Brings together Automotive Engineers and Road Operators

  3. PIARC- FISITA Joint Task Force Joint Task Force Mission • Inform PIARC First Delegates about the opportunities and challenges ahead concerning connected vehicles and cooperative systems. • Ensure that PIARC’s and FISITA’s membership better understand and are responsive to road operators’ and automotive industry concerns.

  4. The connected vehicle – driven by consumers or policymakers? • Background and history • The roles of the different players • Government and policymaker Some early thoughts and questions form the task force

  5. Background – to the connected vehicle • Advance Vehicle Development started in 1990’s with DRIVE, PROMETHEUS • Infrastructure development started in 1980 with UDC • Motorway Traffic Control Started in mid 1990’s with incident detection and Traffic Mangement Centres • Telecoms – late 1980s were analogue! What has changed?

  6. Goverrnment Policies Safety Efficiency Economy Carbon Road Operators Minimise revenue expenditure Provide service Satisfy targets Driven by Governments and Road Operators? Connected vehicles can contribute?

  7. The Consumer and Vehicle Driver • The modern driving environment • The legal environment • The role of technology The demographic issue? • No standard consumer • New unpredictable markets • Multiple products • Product lifecycle • Integration? • Who will lead?

  8. Now: Enhanced Navigation Speed assist Steering Braking Stability Suspension Cruise control Coming soon: Driver condition monitoring Vehicle Identification Security Vehicle condition Traffic signal warning Vehicle location and movement Distress and Emergency and …Applications Driven by the Manufacturer? The Connected Vehicle – coming by stealth?

  9. Driven by standards? • Endorsed by major governments • US policy • EU mandate 453 • Harmonisation working group • Standards organisations making good progress Is a comprehensive set of worldwide standards a pre-requisite?

  10. The Telecommunications Driver • Telecommunications underpin most applications • Role in demonstration projects • Provides a payment mechanism New business models required? Will the consumer pay?

  11. Data and litigation • Ownership of data • Fixed • Dynamic • Advantages • Marketing • Society • Risks • for consumer Is this a situation the consumer will tolerate?

  12. Road Operators’ concerns • Public expectations • Political aspirations • Invest and maintain the asset • Operating roles and responsibilities • Fail-safe operational procedures • Mixed fleets of equipped & unequipped vehicles • Data ownership and integrity of • Which system – which approach? • Capital, revenue and operating costs

  13. … more concerns! • Loss of credibility if so-called “intelligent” services don't work • Road safety engineers still unconvinced by ITS • The development of inefficient (and risky) autonomous technologies • Evolution of competing and non-interactive user groups • Duplication of sensor/counting technologies • The business case: resources are stretched! Risk averse: Road operators can’t afford for early deployments to go wrong!

  14. Developing countries How will vehicle communications impact on them? • Motor manufacturing global approach • Vehicles move between countries and regions • Second hand vehicle market is international • Systems need to be robust • Training and driver experience problematic

  15. Conclusions • Technology – not an issue? • Standards – taking shape nicely? • Development – taking place slowly? • Governments • Encouraging technology • More pro-active – safety agenda • The legal situation Where is this going? What should the road operator do?
