Purpose
• Obtain feedback from agencies about ITS
Standards to help with the ITS Standards
Program Strategic Planning effort
2
ITS Standards Program Strategic Plan
• Objectives of Strategic Plan
– Define strategic objectives for ITS Standards Program at least
through 2012
– Describe current ITS Standards Program activities
– Describe future ITS Standards Program activities
• Strategic objectives are based on ITS Program goals and
objectives
• Engage transportation community to help shape role of
USDOT and verify how plan addresses stakeholder
needs
• Sections are based on objectives above

Would like feedback from state agencies
Focus is on ITS Standards
Series of open questions
Input will be provided to JPO
Questions
• What types of new ITS standards are needed
to support the State DOT operational needs?
5
Questions (continued)
• Are there additional needs for existing ITS
Standards that would help them meeting their
operational goals?
6
Questions (continued)
• What role do you feel USDOT should play,
what role state and local agencies should
play, and what role private industry should
play in the following ITS Standard lifecycle
stages:
– Development of ITS standards
– Deployment of ITS Standards
– Testing of ITS Standards
– Maintenance of ITS Standards
7
Questions (continued)
• What are the problems you are facing, that
USDOT should be aware of, regarding ITS
Standards deployment?
8
Questions (continued)
• What are your interests and concerns
regarding ITS Standards for IntelliDriveSM and
how do you see IntelliDrive impacting your
organizations?

Process
Assess ITS Program Goals,
Focus Areas, and Objectives
Derive ITS Standards Program
Strategic Objectives
JPO and Coordinating Working
Group Review of Strategic
Objectives
Survey on activities and roles
for USDOT
12
Develop future program
selection criteria
JPO and Coordinating Working
Group Review of Criteria
Develop draft ITS Standards
Program Strategic Plan
JPO and Coordinating Working
Group Review of Criteria
Final ITS Standards Program
Strategic Plan
Technical Approach: Establish Coordinating Working Group
• Establish ITS Standards Strategic Plan
Coordinating Working Group
– From public and private sectors
– From academia and associations
– Representing focus areas of:
•
•
•
•
•
13
Vehicle connectivity
Environment and energy
Integrated payment
Institutional related polices and procedures
Real-time traffic
– Purpose is to provide input on role of USDOT and
feedback on objectives and activities
Technical Approach: Strategic Objectives
• Define Strategic Objectives for ITS Standards
Program
– Derived from ITS Program goals and objectives
– Reviewed and approved by JPO
– Feedback provided by Coordinating Working Group in
face-to-face meeting
14
Technical Approach: Future Program
• Describe future ITS Standards Program activities
–
–
–
–
–
Based on ITS Standards Program strategic objectives
Describes future ITS Standards Program activities
Recommends USDOT role
Recommends levels of funding per life-cycle phase
Defines criteria for prioritizing funding and involvement by
USDOT
– JPO to Review and approve
– Coordinating Working Group to provide inputs on USDOT
role via survey, and feedback on criteria
15
Technical Approach: Technical Scan Plan
• Develop draft technical scanning plan to assess emerging
technology
– Involvement of emerging technology subject to prioritization
criteria
– New technology could affect changes in prioritization criteria
– JPO to review and approve Technical Scan Plan
16
Technical Approach: Develop Strategic Plan
• Draft ITS Standards Program Strategic Plan:
– Contains four sections
– Reviewed and approved by JPO
– Feedback provided by Coordinating Working Group
• Feedback reviewed by JPO and draft updated
• Final reviewed and approved by JPO

Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative - Safety - Outcome: Significant
reduction in crashes, injuries, fatalities and associated
economic costs
• Goal: Transformative Safety thru Vehicle and
Infrastructure Connectivity
– Objective: Enable active safety applications i.e., applications designed to assist
vehicle operators avoid imminent crashes (low latency).
– Objective: Improve safety by providing in-vehicle crash avoidance warnings (not
low latency).
– Objective: Perform necessary research & testing to enable potential safety
regulations
– Objective: Provide foundation for technologies to enable partial or full vehicle
control.
– Objective: Enable vehicle-based applications such that they achieve program
objectives without negatively impacting driver focus
– Objective: Harmonize standards and architecture internationally around the
vehicle platform
18
Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative - Mobility – Outcome: Significant
improvements in mobility that result in more sustainable and
livable communities
• Goal: Capture complete real-time information on all roads and
all modes to support transformational system performance
– Objective: Capture real-time mobility data from vehicles
– Objective: Capture real-time system cost information across modes
(parking, transit, pricing, tolling, etc)
– Objective: Integrate real-time mobility data from all sources for use in
transportation management and performance improvement
– Objective: Develop standards to foster the market for real-time data
19
Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative - Mobility – Outcome: Significant
improvements in mobility that result in more sustainable and
livable communities
• Goal: Achieve transformative transportation management and
system performance through applications of vehicle and
infrastructure connectivity
– Objective: Create applications and strategies for the use of real-time
mobility & cost data from all sources for use by transportation managers
– Objective: Create applications and strategies for the use of real-time
mobility & cost data to ensure safe and secure freight movement
– Objective: Create information from real-time mobility and cost data from
all sources for use in traveler information
20
Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative - Mobility – Outcome: Significant
improvements in mobility that result in more sustainable and
livable communities
• Goal: Realize “Next Generation” electronic payment systems
that support transformational system performance
– Objective: Create interoperability of electronic payment systems across
modes (parking, transit, pricing, tolls, etc.)
– Objective: Enable technology solutions in support of national policy for
transportation financing
21
Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative - Environment - Outcome: Reduced
transportation impact on the environment and improved livability
• Goal: Enable environmental management through vehicle and
infrastructure connectivity
– Objective: Capture environmental data from vehicles
– Objective: Integrate real-time mobility data from all sources for use in
transportation management and performance improvement
– Objective: Create applications that use real-time data on environmental
impact for use by transportation managers
– Objective: Create information from real-time data on environmental impact for
use in traveler information
22
Confirmation of Strategic Initiatives, Goals, and Objectives
Strategic Initiative – Policy foundation for deployment Outcome: New institutional policy and potential regulatory
requirements, and foundations for effective deployment of
technologies
• Goal: Establish an institutional foundation for deployment
of safety, mobility, and environmental applications of
vehicle and infrastructure connectivity
– Objective: Identify and research solutions to address institutional
foundations; governance, privacy issues, potential regulations, and
policies, both nationally and internationally, to implement transportation
technologies
– Objective: Incorporate research into all goals to address social equity to
ensure benefit to all from transportation technology solutions
