The Driving Forces n 42,000 People Die Every Year on Our Roadways o Leading Cause of Death Between Ages 4 – 33 o 50% of the Deaths Occur from Intersection Collision and Roadway Departure n Traffic Crashes Cost the Economy $230 B/Yr n Traffic Congestion Costs Americans $78 B/Yr n Congestion Wastes Billions of Gallons of Fuel

5. Year Travel Delay (billions of hours) "Wasted Fuel “ (billions of gallons) Congestion Cost (billions of dollars) 19820.80.5$14.9 19952.51.7$45.4 20044.02.7$73.1 20054.22.9$78.2 Source: Texas Transportation Institute Cost of Congestion

6. We Can Not Build Out More Roads

8. Weekday Peak-Period Congestion Has Grown in Several Ways in Our Largest Cities Source: Analysis of data used in 2005 Urban Mobility Report, Texas Transportation Institute.

9. Cooperative Systems Can Help? n “Cars that refuse to have accidents …” o If every car knows its neighbors speed, location and direction, eminent threats of collision can be mitigated with warnings to drivers followed by intrusive control o Can you envision a road network with no traffic signals? n Over a hundred Use Cases have been identified: Safety Mobility Convenience n Two basic types of communication: Vehicle-to-Vehicle Vehicle-to-Infrastructure

10.

11. Mobility Applications n Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control n In-vehicle Signage n Weather Alert Notifications n Icy Bridges Warnings n ROW Planning n Pot Hole Detection (maintenance) n Signal Phasing (traffic flow optimization) n Incident Observation and Mitigation n Roadway Incidence Assistance n Traffic Advisories (routing, re- routing assistance) n Navigation Assistance n Fleet Management (logistics control) n Hazardous Material Path Enforcement n Cargo Tracking n Travel Information (available facilities, parking, special events, timing)

12. Consumer and Commercial Services n Parking Location Assistance n Parking Access (security / payment) n Food Drive-through Payment n Roadway Toll Payment n Download Data Files (MP3, games) n Software/Firmware Updates n Remote Diagnostics n Customer Relations Management n Dealer Service Scheduling n Personal Device Synchronization n Home Network Content Synchronization n Remote Control (home access, garage door, home lighting) n Secure Access (Enterprise access) n Just-in-time Repair Notification n Safety Recall Notification

13. Initial “Day One” Applications n Traffic Signal Violation Warning n Stop Sign Violation Warning n In-vehicle Signage (road advisory and local info) n Roadway Conditions (weather and potholes) n Traffic Management and Control n Alternate Route Guidance n Traffic Information (OEM) n Electronics Payments (tolls, gasoline and parking) Gotta start somewhere!

15. VII Systems Enablers n Communications system n Probe data collection n Dynamic map database n Lane accuracy positioning system n On-board computers need: o Software provisioning o System diagnostics and maintenance o Configuration management o Security framework o Enhanced Human Machine Interfaces (displays, alarms)

24. Institutional Issues n Privacy n Liability n Data Ownership

25. Protecting Privacy is Essential n Public entities have access to vehicle VII data n VII System design does not have access to driver or vehicle identification o Does not support law enforcement o Private services available on Opt-in basis only n Drafted Privacy Principles

26. Core Non-Technical Issues 1. Funding for Deployment 2. Deployment of roadside equipment 3. Operations Management 4. Governance Structure 5. Data Availability and Accessibility 6. Security Certificate Management 7. Other Issues

27. Long Deployment Delays Safety Vision n Full safety benefits come from all vehicles particpating n Non-participating vehicles, pedestrians and animals are non-visible to VII vehicles n Autonomous safety systems are needed to fill the gap
