  2. Cooperative Transportation Systems Pooled Fund Study Melissa Lance

  3. Cooperative Transportation Systems Pooled Fund Study • The Pooled Fund Study (PFS) is a partnership of transportation agencies, established in 2009, to facilitate the development and evaluation of Connected Vehicle applications • The program will prepare state and local transportation agencies for the deployment of Connected Vehicle technologies • The program will result in the following outcomes: • Development and demonstration of Connected Vehicle-enabled system operations algorithms, tools and applications • Preparation for field demonstration tests

  4. Current CTS PFSMembership • Core/Voting Members • VDOT is lead agency with administrative support from UVA • Thirteen Core Members:Virginia, California, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, Maricopa County and FHWA • Associate Members • Palm Beach Co, FL; Oakland Co, MI; MTC (Bay Area), Transport Canada, Rijkswaterstaat and North Texas Toll Authority • Liaisons • NCHRP/SHRP 2; AASHTO (strategic and deployment plans)

  5. CTS PFS Past Projects • Pavement Maintenance Support Algorithm: • Auburn University, Completed in 2011 • Evaluation of Signal Phase and Timing Data: • California PATH, Completed in 2011 • Connected Vehicle Traffic Signal Control Algorithms: • University of Virginia, Completed in 2011 • Certification Program for Connected Vehicles: • OmniAir Consortium, Completed in April 2012 • Certification Program for Connected Vehicles: • Visteon, Completed in April 2012

  6. Current Projects: Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System • Awarded to University of Arizona (March 2012 – June 2013) • Partly funded by the USDOT to support the Dynamic Mobility Application program • Develop a concept of operations, systems requirements and system design that services multiple modes of transportation • Prepare for field testing/demonstration of the developed Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System at two locations • Maricopa County, Arizona • El Camino Real, California

  7. Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System • Task 1 – Concept of Operations (ConOps) is a foundation document that frames the overall system and sets the technical course for the project • Task 2 – Development of System Requirements captures requirements that define what the system will do but not how the system will do it • Task 3 – High-level System Design defines the framework of the system • Subsystems and components of the system are identified • Requirements are allocated to the system components, and interfaces are specified in detail • Detailed specifications are created for the hardware and software components to be developed • Task 4 – Deployment and Field Test Plan is a comprehensive plan for deploying and field testing the proposed MMITSS

  8. Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System Deployment Architecture

  9. Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal SystemScenarios for Deployment AZ – Anthem Test bed in Maricopa County; CA – Test bed in El Camino Real

  10. Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System Phase 2 - Deployment and Field Testing • USDOT and the CTS PFS are extending University of Arizona’s contract to deploy and field test the MMITSS in Arizona and California • The project will: • Perform a real-time field implementation for testing and verification of the requirements • Estimate performance that can actually be achieved • Project Tasks • 1 – Project and Systems Engineering Management • 2 –Detailed System and Software Design • 3 – System and Software Development • 4 – System Integration, Laboratory Testing and Simulation • Anticipated project timeline is July 2013 – December 2014

  11. Current Projects • 5.9GHz DSRC Vehicle Based Road and Weather Condition Application • Synesis Partners, To be completed in April 2014 • Develop and test vehicle based 5.9GHz DSRC road and weather condition applications on maintenance and highway emergency local patrol in Long Island Expressway and Spring Valley test beds in New York • Data gathered will be used to supplement data in the Clarus system • Traffic Management Centers in a Connected Vehicle Environment • Kimley Horn, To be completed in October 2013 • Investigate, at a higher level, how the Connected Vehicle environment will change the TMC of the future, both technically and the role of TMC operators/managers

  13. Virginia Connected Vehicle Test Bed Ken Earnest

  14. Virginia Connected Vehicle Test Bed • With VDOT’s support, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, and Morgan State University have developed a Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC) • VDOT chairs the Advisory Board • Center will focus on research, education, workforce development for the Connected Vehicle/Infrastructure (CVI) environment • CVI-UTC will use current facilities, equipment and technical support to develop and test CVI applications and technology • Test beds in Fairfax and Blacksburg (Smart Road at VTTI) are being developed • Smart Road Test Bed will serve as a test site prior to implementation on the Fairfax Test Bed • 7 Road Side Units (RSU/RSE) are on Smart Road, including one at a signal • 41 RSUs along freeways (I-66, I-495) and arterials (US 50/29 and Gallows Road) in Fairfax County • 2 portable RSE trailers
