  1. Connected Vehicles: The Future of Transportation Safety and Efficiency

  2. Clean energy, high-speed broadband, and other innovations Education system that cultivates a 21st Century workforce Investments in transportation will create new jobs and support future growth President Obama: Win the Future “We must invest in the research and technology that will lead to new ideas and new industries of the future.” 

  3. Safety:reduce fatalities and injuries State of Good Repair:upgrade and maintain infrastructure Economic Competitiveness: policies and investments that support economic growth Livable Communities: increase transportation choices and access Environmental Sustainability: reduce carbon and other harmful emissions from transportation Transportation Secretary LaHood’s Priorities

  4. Department’s ITS Strategic Research Plan 2010-2014 Vision To research and facilitate a national, multimodal surface transportation system that features a connected transportation environment around vehicles of all types, the infrastructure, and portable devices to serve the public good by leveraging technology to maximize safety, mobility, and environmental performance.

  5. ITS Research = Multimodal and Connected Drivers/Operators Maritime Vehicles and Fleets Rail Infrastructure Wireless Devices

  6. Roadways: Growing Travel, Declining Fatalities But we must do better! *Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. DOT, 2011

  7. Technology improved crashworthiness Safety campaigns/law enforcement changed behavior “Click it or Ticket” Distraction.gov Federal/Industry coordination led tonew safety measures 5-Star Safety Rating Highway Safety Gains: How did we get here?

  8. Connected Vehicles: A New Era of Safety • V2V & V2I Communications • Wireless communication b/t vehicles, infrastructure, et al • Vehicles “see”/ “talk to” each other and know roadway conditions that are not visible • Augmented by existing technology • Reduce/eliminate crashes via • Driver advisories • Driver warnings • Vehicle control

  9. Intelligent Transportation Systems Program Applications Technology Policy

  10. Safety Pilot Connected Vehicle Program • Major field test • Multiple vehicle types • Integrated+aftermarket systems • Prototype security mechanisms • Certification processes • Goals • Data rich environment for apps • NHTSA 2013 Decision • Public awareness • Outcomes • Robust data for future actions • Establish supplier sources • Clarity on operational policy

  11. Moving towards implementation Implementation & innovation via partnerships Mainstreaming ITS technologies with known benefits Performance measurement & evaluation Collaboration among transportation agencies & industry Competitive Challenge Opportunities Lay groundwork toward achieving technology

  12. Connected Vehicle Program: The Path Forward Policy Opportunities & Challenges • Privacy/Cyber security • Governance • Funding/Sustainability • Data ownership • Interoperability • Risk/Liability • Implementation Stakeholders • Public/consumers • Automakers • Equip. Suppliers • Public agencies • Business/Industry • Interest groups • Innovators • Academia • ..and many more! We must work together toward a safer, more efficient andenvironmentally sustainable surface transportation system
