Focus the program
Have an overarching direction
Be vocal
Put forward a vision
Engage the community
Technology is out pacing government research
Change the game to leverage private sector innovation
Next Generation ITS Research
Noteworthy Trends: Transportation
–
–
–
–

–
Stagnant safety statistics
Growing congestion
Growing environmental awareness
Emphasis on performance measurement & management
Troubled transportation financing
Road pricing and financing alternatives
Growing acceptance of the role of public agencies in
transportation performance
– Growing interest in transit
– Transportation impacts lives – it’s no longer transparent

Next Generation ITS Research
A Performance Revolution is
Coming!
• Multi-modal solutions
• Focus on moving people not
cars
• Integrated network performance
• Allocating transportation via
price signals
Go California- Caltrans

• Transportation management
• Travel information
• Pricing
• Environmental information
12
ITS JPO Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives
13
Next Generation of ITS Research
Vision : A national, multi-modal surface transportation system that
features a connected transportation environment among vehicles,
the infrastructure, and portable devices to serve the public good
by leveraging technology to maximize safety, mobility and
environmental performance
– Vision pertains to next generation research program
• All other facets of ITS are still relevant
– This is the research work that will carry us into the wireless world
to serve the collective public good
14
“Connectivity” is manifested in IntelliDriveSM
• IntelliDriveSM is a suite of technologies and
applications that use wireless communications to
provide connectivity:
– With and between vehicles
– Between vehicles and roadway infrastructure
– Between vehicles, infrastructure and wireless consumer
devices
• IntelliDriveSM embodies connectivity

Consistent with US DOT Goals, ITS Program Vision
Few, focused, high value, bold
Potential for significant impact at a national scale
Generally address research or deployment issues that
support multi-modal vision
Address a clear research question that would not
otherwise be filled due to:
• Too big or too risky for any one entity alone
• Too many players and no clear ownership
Expected to offer a positive, measurable return on
investment
Offer a justifiable or clear Federal role
Appear to be implementable, technically feasible, and
have a clear champion, with supportive partners
Will be a market catalyst
Goal 1. Transformative safety through vehicle and infrastructure
connectivity
• Enable active and passive safety applications (i.e., applications
designed to assist vehicle operators in avoiding imminent crashes
and which require low latency communications).
• Improve safety by providing in-vehicle advisories which do not require
low latency communications.
• Perform testing necessary to support regulatory and advisory
activities, evaluations of system performance effectiveness, and the
development and validation of standards.
• Provide a foundation for technologies to enable partial or full vehicle
control.
• Enable vehicle-based applications such that they achieve program
objectives without negatively impacting driver focus.
• Harmonize standards and architecture internationally around the
vehicle platform.
18
Goal 2. Capture complete, real-time information on all roads and all
modes to support transformational system performance
• Capture real-time data from connected vehicles, mobile
devices and infrastructure.
• Capture real-time system cost information across all modes.
• Develop a technology framework that enables the integration
of real-time data from all sources for use in transportation
management and performance measurement.
19
Goal 3. Achieve transformational transportation management and system
performance through applications of vehicle and infrastructure connectivity
• Create applications and strategies for the use of real-time
mobility and cost data for use by transportation managers to
ensure the safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and
goods.
• Utilize real-time mobility and cost data for dynamic decisionmaking by transportation users.
20
Goal 4. Realize “next generation” electronic payment systems that support
transformational system performance
• Create interoperability of electronic payment systems across
modes (parking, transit, pricing, tolls, etc.).
• Define technology framework to support emerging state and
national policy for transportation financing.
21
Goal 5. Enable environmental management through vehicle and infrastructure
connectivity
• Capture real-time environmental data from vehicles.
• Integrate real-time environmental data from all sources for use
in transportation management and performance improvement.
• Create applications that use real-time data on environmental
impact for use by transportation managers.
• Create information from real-time data on environmental
impact for use in traveler information.
22
Goal 6. Establish an institutional foundation for deployment of safety, mobility,
and environmental applications based on vehicle and infrastructure connectivity
• Identify and research solutions to address institutional
foundations, governance, privacy issues, potential regulations,
and policies, both nationally and internationally, to implement
transportation technologies.
• Address social equity in all goal areas to ensure that all users
benefit from transportation solutions.
