  1. VII Day-1 Applications and MDSS Pat Kennedy Road Weather Management Program Federal Highway Administration Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) Annual Stakeholders Meeting August 11, 2006

  2. VII • VII (Vehicle Infrastructure Integration) is a USDOT/FHWA sponsored initiative aimed at developing and deploying a nationwide integrated communications infrastructure that supports both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications • Development of Day-1 applications will be used to help define and refine what this network will look like on the first day it becomes operational

  3. Application development • Twenty “Day-1” applications have been selected for development by members of the VII Working Group and a variety of other Subject Matter Experts. • Application selections were based on a number of factors: • Meeting high priority safety, mobility, and commerce needs • Need to be achievable within acceptable timeframes • Provide some early benefit to users and operators • Achievable with low penetration of VII-equipped vehicles • Providing the ability to test the system and assist the decision making process

  4. Day-1 applications

  5. Day-1 application #16: Winter Maintenance PURPOSE: Provide additional environmental and surface condition information to the management functions responsible for winter maintenance on our nation’s roadways GOALS: • Collect environmental data from multiple vehicle sensors • Process this data into MDSS, thereby: • Improving real-time surface condition information provided to transportation operators and managers • Improving the accuracy of predictive forecasts for route specific surface conditions and associated treatment recommendations

  6. Examples of VII probe sensor data and derived meaning(s)

  7. Examples of VII/MDSS generated messages to on-board maintenance vehicle displays

  8. Winter Maintenance Concept of Operations • Winter Maintenance has been chosen as one of the first four Day-1 applications for which a Concept of Operations is going to be developed • Tasks will include: - Developing an initial draft for stakeholder review - Conducting an initial web-meeting with stakeholders - Hosting an industry workshop - Completing a final Con Ops for Winter Maintenance • Estimated completion timeframe – Jan/Feb 2007
