Intelligent TransportationSystems (ITS)

Intra/Inter Modal Integration of ITS technologies ITS JPO Initiatives (10) Earmarks Discretionary Research Crosscutting Activities

ITS Transit Best Practices Workshops Technical Assistance to Transit Authorities Standards Support: TCIP, UTFS, ISO TC204 WG8

Supports goals of safety, mobility, and productivity

75 projects ~$100 Million (with Initiatives)

Mobility Services for All Americans (MSAA)

Description Improve transportation services to simplify access to

employment, healthcare, education, and other community activities for the transportation disadvantaged (the poor, the elderly, and the handicapped)

Scope Demonstrate Replicable/Scalable Models

of Travel Management Coordination Centers (TMCC) Support development and deployment of MSAA systems using ITS technologies 8 sites were selected in December 2006. Plans and concept of

operations were delivered in 2008. 3 of the 8 sites were selected for full deployment in Jan 2009.

Next steps Full deployment of 3 Replicable/Scalable TMCCs by April 2010.

Integrated Corridor Management Systems (ICM)

Vision Improved mobility through integrated management of transportation

assets - freeways, arterials, transit, parking, 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 using ITS-enabled ICM strategies

Next steps FTA is managing 2 Pioneer Sites (Oakland and Dallas) Completion of Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation Stage Selection of Demonstration Sites: Selection to take place in July 2009

and Demonstration will start in September 2009

ICM Concept of Operations

Local Jurisdiction 1 — Traffic Signal System

Regional Rail Agency — Train Management System

State DOT — Freeway Management System

Bus Company — AVL System

Local Jurisdiction 2 — Traffic Signal System

8

Vehicle Assist—Applications that help the driver maintain control of the bus (driver is always in control)

Precision Docking Vehicle Guidance (lane assist)

Vehicle Automation—Applications that provide full control of a transit vehicle for an automated route or section of a route (driver is not necessarily in full control)

Platooning Automated Vehicle Operations

VAA systems are a cost-effective solution for transit agencies to provide rail-like service at bus-type prices using conventional buses equipped with

inexpensive driver assist technologies

VAA Demonstration (continued)Revenue Service Applications

AC Transit - Lateral guidance on an HOV lane and through a toll plaza

LTD - Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transitway lateral guidance and precision docking at bus stops

Technologies Proposed Magnetic marker sensing Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS)

with inertial navigation sensors Combination of the two

IntelliDriveSM Transit Applications

Operations and Safety Applications Traveler information Fleet management (~ AVL but with real-time traffic information) Signal violation warnings Incident management, communications bridge Transit signal priority

Maintenance Applications Remote diagnostics (archived and live) Tracking vehicles and spare parts

Data Analysis Applications Service planning (routes and schedules, run cutting) Incident and emergency response planning

Next Steps Update the document “Vehicle Infrastructure Integration:

Applications for Public Transit – Nov 2007” (Ongoing) Develop transit-specific applications with inputs from industry

14

Description: Provides wayfinding information to people with visual, cognitive and

learning disabilities Eliminates barriers to accessibility with the help of technology

Scope: Demonstrate RIAS in area transit stations and on transit vehicles Evaluate RIAS benefits by assessing the quality of life of the target

populations Assess the effects of RIAS program

Next Steps: Installation of more than 500 RIAS

systems in Seattle area completed - December 2008 Demonstration, data collection & evaluation complete - May 2009 Evaluation report to the United States Congress - September 30, 2009

Goal: Standardize data and promote interoperability between transit business systems and components

Between business systems Between business systems and field/station controllers Between business systems and vehicles Among onboard equipment

TCIP 3.0 was balloted and approved in Fall 2006

Developed and released TCIP Implementation, Requirements & Capabilities Editor software application tool (TIRCE 2.0) Feb, 2009

NTI will deliver TCIP training courses in Texas and the West Coast (specific locations and dates TBD)
