Presentation Overview
  • Reauthorization
  • Restructuring of the ITS Program
  • Major Initiatives Updates
  • Exploratory Efforts
  • Crosscutting Programs

3
Reauthorization History
  • Administration Bill (SAFETEA) Submitted to
    Congress Last Year
  • Last Congress Passed Separate House and Senate
    Bills But No Agreement
  • Total Funding Was Major Issue.
  • Current Legislation, TEA-21, Has Been Extended
    Through May

4
Current Reauthorization Activity
  • New Congress Actively Working on Reauthorization
  • House Has Passed a Bill
  • Senate Has Marked Up Bill
  • Total Highway Funding and Donor/Donee Debate
    Still Issues

5
Features of Congressional Legislation
  • Both Houses Propose Strong ITS Research Support
  • Senate Language Does Not Provide Deployment Funds
  • House Language Provide for Limited ITS Deployment
    Grants and ITS Set Aside Funds
  • Both Houses Support CVISN Funding
  • Both Houses Propose a Real-time System Management
    Information Program
  • Both Houses Support Increased Emphasis on
    Management and Operations

6
Funding Summary
7
Restructuring of the ITS Program
  • Program reoriented to focus on fewer, larger,
    higher-risk, high-payoff major initiatives.
  • Nine new major initiatives were approved by the
    Management Council.
  • Allow for completion of ongoing efforts and
    initiation of exploratory studies.
  • Fund crosscutting efforts--architecture,
    standards, professional capacity building,
    assessment, outreach--that support the overall
    goals of the ITS Program.

8
Major Initiatives
  • Problem-driven and results oriented.
  • Directly support USDOTs goals of safety,
    mobility, and global connectivity.
  • Multimodal.
  • Emphasis on engagement of stakeholders
  • Opportunities to push the frontier in application
    of ITS.

10
Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems
  • Vision
  • To equip all new vehicles with integrated driver
    assistance systems that help drivers avoid the
    most common types of crashes (rear-end,
    run-off-road, and lane change crashes).
  • Approach
  • Partner with private consortium of vehicle
    manufacturers.
  • Facilitate introduction and commercialization of
    integrated crash avoidance systems.
  • Develop tech-independent performance
    specifications.
  • Build and test prototype vehicles that meet these
    specifications.
  • Determine driver/operator acceptance of these
    specifications.

Safety
11
Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance
Systems
  • Vision
  • To develop cooperative intersection collision
    avoidance systems that can save lives and prevent
    injuries at the most hazardous intersections
    nationally.
  • Approach
  • Partner with consortium of vehicle manufacturers
    and infrastructure owners.
  • Develop and demonstrate prototype systems, assess
    their value and user acceptance, develop and
    provide tools to support industry deployment.

Safety
12
Next Generation 9-1-1
  • Vision
  • E911 calls from any communication or networked
    device.
  • Fundamental changes (who, what, where, how) in
    moving emergency information.
  • Approach
  • Partner with public safety agencies and telecom
    industry.
  • Broadly seek innovative technical/institutional
    solutions.
  • Define a system architecture, develop a
    transition plan.
  • Consider responsibilities, costs, benefits,
    schedule for nationwide deployment.

Safety
13
Integrated Corridor Management Systems
  • Vision
  • Improved mobility through integrated management
    of transportation assets--freeways, arterials,
    transit, managed lanes--in major transportation
    corridors in metropolitan areas.
  • Approach
  • Address organizational, operational, and
    technical barriers to successful integrated
    corridor management.
  • Demonstrate how mobility, safety, and
    productivity can be increased in major corridors
    by
  • Efficient, effective, proactive use of ITS.
  • Improved use of real-time data sharing.
  • Implementing demand management strategies.

Mobility
14
Mobility Services for All Americans
  • Vision
  • Increase mobility and accessibility for the
    transportation disadvantaged and the general
    public through transportation service
    coordination.
  • Approach
  • Promote optimal allocation of resources and
    technology deployment through coalition building.
  • Identify needs and gaps in current practice
    barriers experienced by people, agencies, service
    providers.
  • Conduct FOTs for integration and addressing unmet
    needs.
  • Create a replicable/scalable traveler management
    coordination center.

Mobility
15
Clarus
  • Vision
  • Reduce the impact of adverse weather for all road
    users and operators by creating a nationwide road
    weather observation network and forecasting
    system.
  • Approach
  • Cultivate partnership between weather and
    transportation communities--public and private.
  • Promote stakeholder ownership and consensus in an
    open system design that links existing RWIS and
    supports future expansion.
  • Establish basic data management functions and a
    system focused on stakeholder needs.
  • Multi-state regional demo to test system.
  • Model deployment.

Mobility
16
Emergency Transportation Operations
  • Vision
  • Faster and better prepared responses to major
    incidents, shorter incident duration, reduced
    impact, and more rapid restoration of normal
    travel conditions.
  • Approach
  • Build partnership between transportation, public
    safety, and security communities.
  • Develop tools, guidance, and standards.
  • Focus on three subtopics
  • Heavy towing/recovery and hazmat response.
  • Improved evacuation methods and major incident
    traveler info.
  • Standards facilitating incident response and
    integration.

Mobility
17
Universal-Electronic Freight Manifest
  • Vision
  • Improved operational efficiency, productivity,
    and security of the transportation system through
    the use of a common electronic freight manifest
    and message portal that enables access to
    shipment information to all supply chain partners
    in real time.
  • Approach
  • Focus on air freight supply chain.
  • Expand pre-existing stakeholder groups--shippers,
    carriers.
  • Standardize electronic messages and biometric
    identifiers.
  • Develop a message portal to carry an electronic
    manifest across the entire supply chain.
  • Develop a system architecture to define linkages
    to supply chain users.
  • Develop business case to define rules and
    procedures for supply chain partners.

Global Connectivity
18
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration
  • Vision
  • To achieve nationwide deployment of an integrated
    communications infrastructure on the roadways and
    in all production vehicles to enable a broad
    range of safety and mobility services that today
    are unattainable.
  • Approach
  • Convene a VII Coalition--auto manufacturers,
    AASHTO, USDOT--to work through issues in the
    technical, policy, business models, and outreach
    areas.
  • Initiate a program to develop DSRC prototypes
    that will validate DSRC standards and provide
    equipment for testing elements of the VII
    concept.
  • Define a VII test concept and demonstrate value
    to all parties.
