2. Topics What is a Connected Vehicle?
What can we expect here in California?
How does this relate to Autonomous Vehicles?

3. What is a Connected Vehicle?
A vehicle that can receive and send information
Vehicle Data:
latitude, longitude, time, heading angle, speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, yaw rate, throttle position, brake status, steering angle, headlight status, wiper status, external temperature, turn signal status, vehicle length, vehicle width, vehicle mass, bumper height ….

4. Where is this data going to and coming from?
V2I –
Vehicle to Infrastructure
V2V – Vehicle to Vehicle
New NHTSA Ruling: All light vehicles to have the
Basic Safety Message
NHTSA estimates that connected vehicle technology could potentially address 80 percent of all unimpaired crash scenarios

5. Next Step: Vehicular ad hoc Networks
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P):
Messages are transmitted between vehicles and pedestrians/bikes who send and receive messages via their phones or other wireless devices.
As a transportation professional :
How do I take advantage of these capabilities?
Check out the CVRIA:
Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture
Defines over 90 applications using CV technologies 5

6. Connected Vehicle Applications

7. Impacts of V2I and V2V…
The annual societal cost of traffic crashes is $299.5 billion, more than three times the $97.7 billion cost of congestion.
By 2020, 75% of the 92 million cars shipped globally will be built with the necessary hardware to connect to the internet.

12. Proposed CVPD Schedule
Selected Wave 1 Pilots anticipated to begin Phase 1 (Concept Development) in October 2015
12 month schedule
Phase 2 (Design/Build/Test) to begin October 2016
Up to 20 month schedule
Phase 3 (Maintain/Operate Pilot) to begin April 2018
Minimum 18 months
Post-pilot operations starting November 2019
ongoing and routine maintenance

13. Moving V2I to Deployment
Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act
Explicit funding eligibility for installation of V2I communication equipment within all major highway formula programs including:
National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)
Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STP)
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement program;
Washington DC, 12/2/15

14. The Age of Info and Telecomm
Probe Data
Cloud Computing
Crowd sourcing
So it’s not about building infrastructure any more ……. 14

15. The impact of better data through connectivity:
VS. +
WAZE is being criticized for routing traffic through residential areas – using routes that are not meant for through traffic
Public agency and private sector company goals may not be compatible
Can effective P3 arrangements be agreed upon to provide benefit to the public while not compromising these goals? 15

16. The Car As You Know It Is Dead
But wait….there’s more
The Car As You Know It Is Dead
GOODBYE, MOTORING. HELLO, MOBILITY.

17. Enter Autonomous Vehicles
Not only will they happen….
They are here now!
A car that can drive itself 17

18. …. and in some new shapes! A vehicle that can drive itself
All are enhanced by Connectivity

19. What can we expect here in California?
The San Ramon EZ10 Bus Fleet – Deployment in 2016

20. Agency Involvement in AV
Re-purposed Concord’s 2100-acre vacant naval station into a test lab for autonomous and Internet-connected vehicles
CCTA has been working to court companies working on high-tech automotive research:
Honda is now testing a self-driving Acura RLX sedan
Mercedes-Benz previously used the site
Tesla and Apple have expressed interest

22. Why not Autonomous? Saves Lives Saves Space Saves Time Saves Energy
6500 times better detecting danger than a human (Nissan)
Saves Space
Higher capacity roadways, less space and time needed for parking
Saves Time
Less congestion, more productive time when in it
Saves Energy
In urban areas, 40% of gas usage is wasted looking for parking
Saves Money
Changing the concept of car ownership

23. The road ahead?
2020
2030
2040
Infrastructure being adapted to CV technologies
Mixed vehicles fleet CV/non-CV
Autonomous freight
AGT/LSV
Decreasing relevance of infrastructure-based solutions
Increasing penetration of AV
Decrease in new drivers licensing

24. CV/AV Impacts: Socio-economic
Significant rebalancing of individual capital investments away from poorly-utilized assets (personal vehicles) to alternative investments or service fees
Acceleration of technology turnover – shared use model reaches economic payback 4x-5x faster than dedicated ownership model
Redistribution of land use in urban areas away from vehicle parking to alternative uses
Shift of insurance burden from individual drivers/owners to manufacturers

25. Conclusions
Connectivity is changing the way we view and access transportation
Car sharing is paving the way to improving not only mobility but accessibility without the need for vehicle ownership
Connected and Autonomous Vehicle technologies are here, now
The Public sector is being challenged to engage the private sector in new ways to seek mutually acceptable solutions
