ITS Strategic Plan Shelley Row Director, ITS Joint Program Office Research and Innovative Technology Administration U.S. Department of Transportation
ITS Strategic Planning Process • Trends • Interview ITS Advisory Committee members • Interview USDOT modal staff • JPO staff input • End state visioning • Opportunities • Barriers • Draft mission, goals and focus areas • Gathering input
Mission & Goal Areas • JPO’s mission is to lead the creation & demonstration of intelligent technology solutions to achieve the safest & best performing surface transportation system in the world. • Goal Areas • Safety • Mobility • Environment • 21st Century Institutions, Innovations, and Partnerships
ITS Strategic Plan Observations of the ITS Within USDOT • Specific ITS applications are moving forward through leadership in the modal administrations (FHWA, FTA, FMCSA, NHTSA) • Signal systems • Freeway & traffic incident management • Transit management • CVISN • ITS program should focus on a few high-leverage issues • Potential for significant pay off at a national scale • Issues that transcend a single mode
Goal: Safety Achieve measurable reduction in crashes, injuries, fatalities, and the associated economic costs Challenge: Reduce 90% of all crashes, injuries, and fatalities by 2029 Focus: • Intelligent Vehicle – Create capability for all vehicles to have 360 degree awareness of hazards, and communicate appropriately with drivers to prevent crashes
Goal: Mobility Achieve measurable improvements in mobility, system performance, and economic productivity through research & demonstration of ITS technology • Focus: • Realize complete transportation system visibility • Real time data on all roads, all modes, all the time • To enable performance measurement across the transportation system • To catalyze the development of applications to optimize network performance • To enable delivery of end-to-end transportation information for trip planning (personal & business)
Goal: Mobility Achieve measurable improvements in mobility, system performance, and economic productivity through research & demonstration of ITS technology • Focus: • Integrated electronic payment systems • Enable seamless payment processing • Provide complete trip payment • Integrate parking, transit, congestion pricing, tolling
Goal: Environment/Energy Achieve improvement in air quality and reductions in fuel consumption Challenge: Reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 40% by 2029 Focus: • Conduct research to understand relationship between technology-enabled congestion reduction & safety improvement with environmental impacts (carbon footprint & fuel efficiency)
Goal: 21st Century Institutions, Innovations, and Partnerships Foster new institutional relationships to accelerate use of technologies in transportation Focus: • Research new public-private partnerships to improve the deployment and use of ITS technologies in transportation • Examine innovative financing models to foster use of ITS technologies in transportation • Identify and research solutions to address institutional barriers in the use of ITS technologies in transportation
ITS Joint Program Office Roles Federal roles can range from: • Science • Basic R&D • Applied R&D • Technology Transfer to commercialization • Operational Demonstration • Deployment Appropriate roles will vary based on focus area Roles are under discussion & development
ITS Strategic Plan Other Activities: • Look to the next generation technology solutions • Leverage worldwide research • Support the basics • Architecture • Standards • Professional Capacity Building • Information Clearinghouse
ITSStrategic Plan Next Steps • Comments on mission, goal and focus areas • Further Development • Description of focus areas • Objectives for each focus area • Develop metrics for each objective • Clarify Federal role • Develop an action plan • Gather input and refine • Publish the updated Program Plan • Update on current program status • New section on the Strategic Vision and Action Plan
