  1. How to Plan a Smart Corridor Working Together for Intelligent Transportation Systems in the Ontario-Québec Corridor

  2. OUTLINE Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) What is ITS? What is the Value of ITS? What is a Smart Corridor? How do you Achieve Integration? The Ontario-Québec Smart Corridor Where we are in the planning process What we’ve done, where we’re going and what to expect next Websites and Contact Information

  4. Intelligent Transportation SystemsITS at a glance Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) Traffic Signal Control Variable Lane Control Variable Message Sign (VMS)

  5. Intelligent Transportation SystemsITS at a glance Intermodal Freight Management Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS)

  6. What is the Value of ITS? ITS address the critical challenges! • Efficiency, Safety, Security and Sustainability Relative to Infrastructure… ITS is CHEAP • ITS projects typically cost $100Ks to $1Ms • Infrastructure projects can cost $100Ms Benefit/Cost Ratios of ITS projects are HIGH • Stand-alone ITS projects sit at about 9:1 • Integrated ITS projects jump to 23:1 BOTTOM LINE: Planning ITS projects so that they can be integrated is clearly critical!!

  7. What is a SMART CORRIDOR? What makes a corridor “SMART”? Integrating existing and new ITS to improve operational efficiency Sharing information among systems to achieve benefits of coordinated operations • Opportunities • Electronic filing of credentials/reporting • Automated means of inspection • Automated authentication of vehicles, cargo, and personnel • Seamless electronic transactions/payments • Readily accessible travel conditions information Integration  Smart Corridor

  8. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? To build a SMART CORRIDOR we need INTEGRATION To achieve INTEGRATION we need COOPERATION COOPERATION • between organizations and agencies • across borders • from one jurisdiction to the next

  9. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? We also need strong PLANNING We haveITS PLANNING TOOLS These TOOLS are built from basic COMPONENTS: • The types of PLAYERS needed to deliver a service • Vendor, Shipper, Consignee, Border Agency, Customs Agency • The PHYSICAL components of the system • Commercial Vehicle, Border Inspection Station, Administration Centres • The INFORMATIONexchanges between players • Shipping Manifests, Driver Credentials, Safety Status, Routing, Customs Payment Information, Inspection Reports Strong ITS Plan  Smart Corridor

  10. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Agency For example, we can identify the TYPES of PLAYERS… Shipper Driver [Automated Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station By-Pass]

  11. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Agency We can identify some of the PHYSICALcomponents… Shipper Driver Safety/Credentials Database Commercial Vehicle Weigh-In-Motion Inspection Station [Automated Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station By-Pass]

  12. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? Credentials Driver Record Safety Status Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Agency And we can identify INFORMATION FLOWS… Shipper Citation Credentials Driver Record Safety Status Driver Safety/Credentials Database Violation Notifications By-Pass Signal Credentials Driver Record Safety Status Commercial Vehicle Weigh-In-Motion Inspection Station Daily Site Activity Vehicle ID Weight & Presence [Automated Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station By-Pass]

  13. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? we can see how all the PLAYERS interact! Finally, when we take a step back… The result is a perfectly INTEGRATED PLAN! [Automated Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station By-Pass]

  14. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? This INTEGRATED PLAN is called: The NATIONAL ITS ARCHITECTURE It can be applied to a specific REGION to create: A REGIONAL ITS ARCHITECTURE Using these TOOLS we can build a CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. Just Imagine…

  15. How Do You AchieveINTEGRATION? What’s the Process? (For developing a Regional ITS Architecture) Define the Region Identify Stakeholders Inventory Systems Determine Needs and Services Interconnects Information Flows Operational Concept Standards Define Project Sequencing Identify Inter-Agency Agreements Gather Critical Information This is where the National ITS Architecture helps out!!

  16. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor Somewhere in and about here!! Where are we? Define the Region Identify Stakeholders Inventory Systems Determine Needs and Services Interconnects Information Flows Operational Concept Standards Define Project Sequencing Identify Inter-Agency Agreements

  17. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor Some of the Basics… Who? Transport Canada, Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Ministère des transports du Québec IBI Group, Roche Consulting, Cambridge Systematics, ConSysTec Many Stakeholders What? Develop Concept of Operations and Regional ITS Architecture for the Ontario-Québec Corridor When? April 2011  March 2012

  18. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor Define the Region

  19. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor 2. Identify Stakeholders Multi-modal: • Surface, Air, Rail, Marine • Freight/Goods Movement Focus • Includes Border Crossings!! Includes all levels of Government: • Transport Canada, CBSA, CBP, FHWA • Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Ministère des transports du Québec, State of Michigan Department of Transportation • Numerous regions and municipalities throughout the corridor Includes Private Sector: • Industry Associations, Commercial Carriers We will continue to add Stakeholder throughout the project

  20. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor 2. Identify Stakeholders We have engaged Stakeholder through: • Two series of workshops 1st Round of Workshops: • Focused on engaging Stakeholders • Discussed vision and “Architecture” process • Discussed needs and services • Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa/Gatineau, Montréal, Sherbrooke, Québec 2nd Round of Workshops: • Reviewed the vision for the “Smart Corridor” • Feedback on Stakeholder descriptions • Feedback on preliminary ITS Systems inventory • Reviewed operational scenarios and information flows • Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa/Gatineau, Montréal, Québec

  21. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor 3. Inventory Systems An inventory of the ITS Systems in the corridor: Collected by Stakeholder Survey Verified at 2nd Stakeholder Workshops Continues to be updated… 4. Determine Needs and Services Needs and Services were discussed with Stakeholders: Discussed through “Breakout” sessions at Workshops SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Continues to be updated…

  22. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor 4. Determine Needs and Services Stakeholders identified the need to improve: The coordination and dissemination of real-time traveller information Traffic management including incident management and inter-jurisdictional coordination The efficiency of border customs inspections The efficiency of international crossings and other tolled facilities The efficiency of intermodal transfer points The efficiency of roadside safety inspections Management of dangerous goods movements Commercial vehicle on-board systems Tracking of shipments

  23. The Ontario-QuébecSmart Corridor Next Steps Concept of Operations All stakeholders to reach consensus on the Concept of Operations Develop a list of proposed projects and required inter-agency agreements Continue to work with Stakeholders There are two “Webinar” sessions scheduled in the up-coming months to confer on the results Share the Results This process is meant to guide stakeholder investment Cooperation  Integration Celebrate!!
