Dynamic Mobility Applications

Vision• Expedite development, testing, commercialization, and deployment of innovative

mobility applications:– maximize system productivity– enhance mobility of individuals within the system

Objectives• Create applications using frequently collected and rapidly disseminated multi-

source data from connected travelers, vehicles (automobiles, transit, freight) and infrastructure

• Develop and assess applications showing potential to improve nature, accuracy, precision and/or speed of dynamic decision making by system managers and system users

• Demonstrate promising applications predicted to significantly improve capability of transportation system to provide safe, reliable, and secure movement of goods and people

11

Leverage Multi-Source Data

• Leverage high-quality data integrated from mobile and fixed sources to develop multiple applications (mode-specific and multi-modal)

• Requires coordination with Real-Time Data Capture and Management program

Projected Outcomes

• Multiple applications developed leveraging multi-source data• Research spurs commercialization• Applications enable transformational change

16

Stakeholder Participation

• Provide feedback on program direction, goals, data environment, mobility applications

• Respond to upcoming funded requests for research and development of mobility applications

• Seek to leverage IntelliDrive data and applications resources in other non-federal or non-IntelliDrive federally funded research projects

• Offer new data sets and applications• Actively commercialize mobility applications developed within the

IntelliDrive program

17

Mobility Applications Template

USDOT DMA Near-term Program Objective:• Assess applications that realize the full potential of connected

vehicles, travelers and infrastructure to enhance current operational practices and transform future surface transportation systems management

• Develop applications that transform mobility by providing transportation managers and systems operators with real-time monitoring and management tools to manage mobility between and across modes more effectively, and travelers the ability for dynamic decision making

• Inviting stakeholders to submit ideas for transformative applications that show the potential to improve system performance and the nature, accuracy, precision and/or speed of dynamic decision making by both system managers and system users

18


Purpose• Provide a consistent method for gathering &

assembling potential ideas, uses & applications of IntelliDriveSM primarily for mobility purposes– Other programs are actively pursuing applications

primarily focused on the safety applications of IntelliDriveSM.

– Seeking innovative or transformative ideas that use IntelliDriveSM to help transportation systems perform better or allow operators or travelers make better decisions.

19


Not necessarily starting with a clean slate, but with a fresh look

• VII Use Cases & Applications– Earlier Vehicle Infrastructure Integration efforts

for the Proof-of-Concept testing included development of use cases

– “Day-One” (i.e., near-term, low penetration of devices) applications identified

20

21

VII’s wide array of “Day 1” applications• Traveler Information

– Travel times, incident alerts, road closures, work zones

• In Vehicle Signage – Local signage (school zones, stop

signs)– Highway next-exit services

• Navigation– Off-board navigation– Reroute information

• Traffic Management– Ramp metering– Signal timing optimization– Corridor management planning

assistance– Corridor management load balancing

• Weather Information– Surface conditions, surface

treatment status, visibility, etc.– Improved weather observing

• Safety– Traffic signal violation warning– Stop-sign violation warning– Emergency electronic brake

light– Curve speed warning

• Electronic Payment – Parking – Toll roads

Note: Transit, Trucking, and Planning were to be added



What it’s not – The Template is not:• Not a request for proposals

• Not a solicitation for projects

• Not a “Challenge” opportunity– No funding or other support offered

22


What it is• An opportunity to help shape the IntelliDriveSM

Dynamic Mobility Applications Program• A way to share your thoughts & ideas of innovative

uses of IntelliDriveSM to improve mobility– Systems performance, better decision-making, etc.

• A request from U.S. DOT for stakeholder help from all sources – public, private, academic … for all modes – highway, transit, freight, non-motorized…– Not doing what we do today better, but doing things

differently because of the availability of IntelliDriveSM

Application descriptionProvide a brief description of the suggested application of

interest. Please discuss how the application is transformative, and how IntelliDriveSM will enable this transformation. Who will use the application and who will be impacted by the application?

This does not have to be exhaustive but should provide a concise description of what the application is intended to do. What makes the application innovative or transformative? How would it use IntelliDriveSM? Who is the audience for the application?

27


Potential benefits and impacts Please summarize the near-term (e.g., due to limited market penetration of

IntelliDrive-enabled vehicles) and long-term impacts of the suggested application. Assessment can be conceptual or verified in a simulation environment or a test environment. When can we realistically deploy the application and see an impact?

This is not intended to be an empirical exercise but to allow the submitter to provide thoughts about the potential benefits of the applications, and how the benefits may change over time as a larger installed base of IntelliDriveSM devices emerges.

28


High-level application needs - Data needs Please specify the type, frequency, latency, quantity, and market-penetration

of data needed from connected travelers, vehicles and infrastructure-based sensors.

What data does the application require in order to operate effectively? Do the data need to have specific characteristics such as how frequently is it collected, how much coverage is needed, etc.? The intent is to describe at a high-level the data required by the application.

29


High-level application needs - Communication needs Please specify the critical communication needs if known. Are low latency

wireless communications required to see the full impacts of the application? Can benefits from the application be realized with lower speed and higher latency communications? Communications here may be among any combination of connected travelers, vehicles, and infrastructure.

Does the application require a minimum level of telecommunications capability, including bandwidth, continuous connectivity, security, etc.? As noted in the instructions, this section is completed “if known.”

30


High-level application needs - Infrastructure needs Please specify the critical infrastructure components for the

application.

High-level application needs - Other needs

Does the application have other requirements such as roadside hardware / cabinets / structures / etc.? Or any other needs (particular computing platform, user requirements or equipment, …)?

31


Is the suggested application of interest a modification or enhancement of existing/ongoing research that you have conducted?

Please specify here if the application will leverage existing or ongoing research and development efforts that you are currently involved in.

Yes If yes, specify:Project title ___________________________________Sponsoring organization _________________________

No

The intent of this question is to help provide historical context for the suggested application, if there is any.

32


Next Steps• Targeted outreach: Mode-specific, private sector,…• Gather ideas / applications

– Requested by July 31; e-mail to [email protected]

• Examine applications for commonalities– Use same or similar data environments

33

Mobility Applications – Prioritization Criteria

Guiding Principles• The proposed application is transformative.• The proposed application will make use of IntelliDriveSM-

related data.• The proposed application has significant stakeholder interest.• The potential near-term as well as long term (greater than

five years) benefits are high.• The proposed application will be made open source.• The proposed application is cross-modal (i.e., it will integrate

information from two or more modes for system operations and management).
