  1. MDOT VII Vision and Test Bed Plan States and OEM’s Working Together Gregory D. Krueger, P.E. MDOT ITS Program Manager Michigan Department of Transportation August 30, 2005

  2. "Just irredeemably bad. It's not smart, it's not original, it's not charming, and it's certainly not funny."-- Susan M. E. Glen, POPMATTERS Consensus Line: The movie isn't funny, the plot is too thin, and the production values feel more like a TV sitcom than a movie.

  3. VII – Why We Care • Safety – United States Highway Fatalities remain at about 42,000 - a new approach to preventing crashes is required to substantially improve highway safety • Mobility – Congestion continues to worsen – a new approach is required to have significant impact on the current congestion trend.

  4. VII – Why Should DOT’s Invest? • Active Safety – Keep Crashes from occurring (cost to society in lives and $) • Passive Safety – Identify “issues” on the road that can be corrected (snow/ice, potholes, geometric deficiencies, etc.) • Traffic Management – Every vehicle is a probe, every vehicle can receive real-time traffic reports

  5. MDOT VII Vision partner with public agencies, the automotive industry and the telecommunications industry to lead the nation in VII research and sustained VII deployment providing a public foundation for a new automotive information technology industry in Michigan and ensuring improvement in transportation system safety and operational performance.

  6. Why Is Michigan Interested?

  7. 450 Miles: The Hub of Auto Industry

  8. MICHIGAN AUTOMOTIVER&D FACILITIES • 178 Facilities • $10.3 Billion spent in-state on automotive-related R&D (2002 - NSF)

  9. DCX R&D VW R&D Nissan R&D GM Tech Center Mitsubishi Electric R&D Mitsubishi R&D Lotus R&D Ford R&D Toyota R&D Subaru R&D Hyundai R&D

  10. Partnerships • Success requires we all work together • VII must work from city to city and state to state • VII must use the same in-vehicle and roadside hardware for communications (and protocols) on every make and model • VII and the CICAS program work hand-in-hand

  11. MDOT Testbed Partnerships - Traffic information - Tracking and routing - Crash & safety notification - Safe driver interface - Remote diagnostics Automotive Industry Vehicles - Electronic signing - Highway design - Advanced power - Security & reliability - Crash avoidance Driving & Traffic Telematics DRIVER Infrastructure InfoStructure Traffic Operations Telecom Industry State of MI - Incident ID & response - CMS & detour signing - Traffic & road database Safety & Mobility

  12. Planning for the Future – VII Test Beds

  13. MDOT Test Bed Vision • Provide National Leadership • Focus on industry standards • Multiple automakers, communications providers and other partners • MDOT and local agencies and other states • Advance VII technologies and practices • Enhance the National VII program • Assure infrastructure investments by MDOT that have long term use beyond VII test bed project

  14. Multi-Phased Approach • Early Phases - Evaluate alternative technologies • Short range wireless technologies to vehicles • Connectivity and backhaul technologies • Later Phases – Interoperability • Converge to common, interoperable system among vehicle and infrastructure deployments

  15. Specific VII Test Bed Tests • Identify common data sources and sets • Test current, stable technologies that can be used for vehicle to roadside communications • Evaluate different technologies as options for backhaul communications

  16. Evaluating Data Integration • MDOT / GM Test to Validate Accuracy • How will probe data change the way MDOT does business? • Short term → Augment • Long term → Replace

  17. Planned Coverage Areas • Centered in metropolitan Detroit area • Multiple phased test beds Phase 1 - On-Campus Phase 2 - Expand to surrounding areas Phase 3 - Connect Local test beds • Supports the National Test Bed strategy • National Test Bed Phases 1 through 3

  18. Phases 1 & 2

  19. Phase 3

  20. Preliminary Results Figure courtesy DaimlerChrysler

  21. Preliminary Results • Ride Quality Measuring • Ability to measure ride quality in real-time • Sensitivity high enough to detect bridge joints • Continuous Internet Connection • Demonstrates ability of a wireless network at high (freeway) speeds • Use cases could include benefits for transit users

  22. Next Steps • Develop the State of Michigan VII Strategic Plan • Develop a Concept of Operations for the Test Bed activities • Define research program • What & how we test • How we share results • Michigan VII Web Site Coming Soon

  23. 2005 Mississippi Valley Conference Questions?
