Connected Vehicle Program – Dynamic Mobility Applications

Highlights for Tech Scan Scrum

Research Scope

• Apps that exploit multi-source data from travelers, vehicles and infrastructure.

• Develop apps that improve “dynamic decision making” by system managers and users.

• Identify innovative forms of wireless connectivity in support of mobility apps

• Improve capability of transpo system to provide safe, secure, and reliable movement of goods and people.

Research Objectives

• Mulitiple, multi-modal applications leveraging multi-source data.

• Commercialization of applications.• Applications demonstrate cost-effective and

significant mobility and productivity benefit.

Research Questions

• Are cross-modal applications effective? Which are best for deployment?

• What minimum infrastructure is needed for maximum benefit?

• What apps can be developed using data available today and with future data?

• Which apps require public and/or private sector investments?

3-Phase Work Program Overview

• Phase 1: Foundational Analysis.– Canidate apps and “data environments,” DCM

coordination, prototype app, open-source process, and performance metrics.

• Phase 2: Tool Development.– App ITS program relevancy, proof-of concept, simulated

test beds, and open-source development.

• Phase 3: Focused Deployments.– Promising apps considered for pilot deployment. Strong

evaluation focus in this phase.

Roadmap tracks

0. Program Support1. Stakeholder Engagement2. Mobility Applications Research and Development

a) Sub-Tracks: Technical, Intuitional and Policy, and Standards

3. Proof of Concept Tests4. Demonstrations5. Evaluation and Performance Measures6. Outreach and Technology Transfer

DMA App framework: EnableATIS • Enable Advanced Traveler Information System• Two operational scenarios possible: laissez-faire, incremental

build-out approach, or robust, multimodal, multisource traveler information environment

• Project Goals1. Transform the user experience on the transportation network2. Transportation networks will experience measureable gains in

performance (mobility, safety, efficiency)3. Robust traveler information suite enabled through data

environment: public sector system and operations data, transportation network ops, and user data from privately operated systems.

DMA App Bundle: FRATIS

• Freight Advanced Traveler Information Systems• Two apps:

1. Freight Specific Dynamic Travel Planning and Performance

2. Drayage Optimization• One basic open source, and one commercial app• Three sites for demos: LA gateway, DFW, and

South Florida

DMA App Bundle: INFLO

• Intelligent Network Flow Optimization• Apps address queue warning and detection

and speed harmonization.• Three applications:

1. Queue Warning (Q-WARN)2. Dynamic Speed Harmization (SPD-HARM)3. Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC)

DMA App Bundle: MMITSS

• Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal Systems• Aims to optimize traffic signal control• Wifi/3G/4G targeted to provide ped/bike coverage• Apps:

1. Intelligent Traffic Signal System (ISIG)2. Transit Signal Priority (TSP)3. Mobile Accessible Pedestrian Signal System (PED-SIG)4. Emergency vehicle pre-emption (PREEMPT)5. Freight signal priority (FSP)

DMA App Bundle: R.E.S.C.U.M.E.

• Detect and assess incidents. Push information to evacuees and model evacuation flows

• Apps:1. Incident Scene Pre-Arrival Staging Guidance for

Emergency Responders (RESP-STG)2. Incident Scene Work Zone Alerts for Drivers and

Workers (INC-ZONE)3. Emergency Communications and Evacuation (EVAC)4. Advanced Automated Crash Notification Relay (AACN-

RELAY)
