  1. VIIC Working Group for Weather Information for Surface Transportation Walton Fehr June 14, 2006

  2. VIIC Overview • VII Consortium • Non-profit corporation open to all vehicle manufacturers • Incorporated November, 2004 • Cooperative Agreement between USDOT and VIIC is in place • 6 Members: Ford, Nissan, BMW, Honda, DCX, VW • Design in-vehicle equipment & applications (non-safety)

  3. Near-Term Activities • Contributing to a Proof of Concept Test • Cooperating with the USDOT and its contractors to develop end-to-end VII system requirements • Designing on-board equipment including DSRC radios, driver interfaces, and vehicle interfaces • Developing test applications that will run in vehicles and the network • Applications include those intended to improve safety and mobility, and facilitate commercial activities

  4. Proof of Concept Test • Planned for 2006 and 2007 • Equipment, application, and test environment development has started and will continue through 2006 • Equipment will be installed in a variety of vehicles • Test activities will be deployed in a selected area of Southeast Michigan for use in 2007

  5. Development Test Environment VIIC Offices

  6. Contributions to Weather Information • Collection of Probe Data • SAE J2735 standard for collecting vehicle probe data • First priority given to information that will contribute to Traveler Information • Cooperating with MDOT in their information integration project • Accepting guidance on what vehicle probe data will be most beneficial to their project • Providing guidance on what integrated information will be most beneficial to VIIC applications

  7. Uses of Weather Information • Developing applications that will use weather information • Applications are being created to test the end-to-end system including the complete loop from collecting probe data to improving vehicle safety and mobility based on using information gathered from probe data • Applications under development will present Traveler Information and Signage to vehicle drivers, and provide dynamic route guidance • Both applications will incorporate all dynamic information including weather
