Project Proposal: Survey and Assessment of Current Deployment of Applications for Surface Transportation Utilizing GNSS in the APEC Region Maureen Walker (On behalf of Walter Kulyk, Chair, APEC Intermodal & ITS Experts Group) May 28, 2008

2 Project Summary Proposing APEC Economy –USA –Co-sponsoring Economy: To be determined Project Cost –Total Funding: $350,000 USD –APEC Funding: $200,000 USD Brief Description –Survey and assessment of land-based GNSS applications –Impact in safety, security and efficiency of surface transportation –Target surface transportation modes (rail, highway, maritime, etc.) –Benefits all APEC Economies –Promotes trade throughout APEC Economies

3 Project Details Goals –Enable transfer of land-based GNSS technology & applications –Increase capability and safety of transportation equipment –Strengthen cooperation among APEC Economies Key Objectives –Provide information on land-based GNSS applications  Study area: Train Control/Signaling/Supervision, Fleet Management, Passenger Information, Container Management/Tracking, Precision Airport Approach, etc.  Stakeholder Workshop –Perform assessment and analysis  Reusability  Cost benefit  Legislative and regulatory acceptance –Document 3 most promising applications  Return on investment (ROI)  Economy impact  Concept of operations  Standard requirements

4 Project Detail continued… Methodology - A consultant team implements 3 phases - Phase 1:  Develop and conduct survey in APEC and other regions »Current land-based GNSS applications »Future needs and requirements  Organize stakeholder workshop »Lessons learned »Best practices  Complete technical report »Analysis and results - Phase 2:  Perform assessment of land-based GNSS applications »Re-usability or suitability »Cost-benefit analysis »Acceptance criteria in APEC Economies  Complete technical report »Analysis and results

5 Project Detail continued… Methodology continued….. -Phase 3  Develop criteria for analysis »Return on investment »Reusability »Economy impact »Compliance, etc  Document 3 best land-based GNSS applications »Concept of operation  Submit final technical report Project Outputs -APEC Economies’ workforce development -Improved safety/operation of rail and other modes -Stakeholder workshop and public/private participation -Increased knowledge of land-based GNSS applications -APEC Economies to receive and assess reports

6 Miscellaneous Project Info Output Publication -Various APEC groups and websites to disseminate  Final Reports  Presentations  Assessments Beneficiaries -APEC Economies  Attendance at stakeholder workshop  Skill training -Private Sector  Benefit local industries  Participation of professional associations -Public Sector  Local transportation authorities  Regional and national government
