## Research Development & TechnologyStrategic Plan Update

**Presented to the ITS-JPO Advisory Council**
**March 13, 2008**
**Dr. Jan Brecht-Clark, RITA Associate Administrator for RD&T**

## Overview

**RD&T Purpose is to Coordinate and Leverage DOT’s Research, Development & Technology Investments – roughly $1B per year.**
**To Accomplish This Mission, RD&T has Undertaken Three Major Activities**
**Update DOT’s RD&T Strategic Plan to Set Long Term Investment Direction Across Modes**
** ****Develop & Implement the Research Planning, Investment & Control (RPIC) Process for these Activities**
**Develop & Deploy IT System to Support RPIC  (R****2****NS)**

## At RITA’s Inception, RD&T and RITA Planning Team created a RD&T Strategic Plan for the Department.

The 2006 Plan Presents
 Cross-Cutting Views of Current DOT Activities
 Areas for Intermodal Cooperation

RD&T & Planning Team are Updating Plan to Outline & Identify A Road Map to Address the Long Term, Strategic Goals & Objectives of DOT-Funded Research.          Release Date: Summer 2008

***Strategic Plan Chronology***

## 2008 Plan Vision & Strategies

**Safe, Less Congested**
**Economically Competitive**
**Energy Independent**

**Environmentally Sustainable**
**Secure**
**Resilient**

***Transportation Vision 2030***** Sets Direction for RD&T Activities so the Next Generation Will Have A System That Is:**

**Using these 6 Strategies, RDT & the Planning Team have identified the challenges & activities needed to produce *****Vision 2030***** outcomes.**** **

## Strategic Collaboration

**Congestion Mitigation**
**Human Factors**
**System Resilience/Global Logistics**
**Position, Navigation & Timing**

**Nanotechnology**
**Enhanced Safety Data**
**Transportation in an Aging Society**
**Energy Efficiency/Alternative Fuels**

**To promote collaboration, RD&T and the Planning Team created the Intermodal Research Working Groups identified in 2006 Plan**

## Strategic Collaboration

**RDT is working with the University Transportation Centers and FAA Centers of Excellence to foster collaboration among these DOT-funded researchers and with Intermodal Working Groups.**
**RDT & National Transportation Libraries Will Be Working With Key External Stakeholders To Create Public Collaboration Sites Later This Year.**

## Strategic Plan Update

**QUESTIONS?**

## RPIC Integrated Investment Management

**Notes:**
RPIC should be a ‘repeatable’ process.  The process of reviewing and selecting R&D projects should be explicitly linked with other business processes (e.g., planning, budgeting, acquisition).

The timetable estimates the timing of IRB and Team RPIC Select/Control/Evaluate tasks during a budget cycle.  Note: Task durations are very rough estimates at this early stage.  Presently, it appears that IRB/Team RD&T changes to a strategic RD&T portfolio would be reflected in ‘Budget Year + 1’ appropriations.

One responsibility of the RD&T IRB is to coordinate an external (non-DOT) review of the DOT Annual RD&T Plan.  The IRB may decide to include RPIC in these reviews.

## DOT R&D Portfolio Mix

| Operating Administration | Enacted FY2007 RD&T Budget ($000) |
| --- | --- |

## SAFE TRIP-21  

**ITS Advisory Committee Overview**
**March 13, 2008**

**SAFE TRIP-21**

**ITS Advisory Committee Overview**
**March 13, 2008**

## The Critical Need

**United States in 2006:**
**2.6 million traffic crashes **
**	****42,000 fatalities**
**	****2.6 million injuries**
**$80 billion cost of urban traffic congestion***
**	****4.2 billion hours of delay**
**2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel**
- *Texas Transportation Institute, 2007

## SAFE TRIP-21 is a Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Program Initiative

**Notes:**
An implemented VII network will enable travelers to access traffic condition and routing information for multiple modes of travel, receive warnings about imminent hazards, and conduct commercial transactions within their vehicles. Transportation agencies will have access to data needed to better manage traffic operations, support planning, and more efficiently manage maintenance services. Primary applications include:

Warning drivers of unsafe conditions or imminent collisions. 
Warning drivers if they are about to run off the road or speed around a curve too fast.
Informing system operators of real-time congestion, weather conditions and incidents. 
Electronic payment capabilities.
Providing operators with information on corridor capacity for real-time management, planning and provision of corridor-wide advisories to drivers. 

## SAFE TRIP-21 Fills the Gap While DSRC Deployment Challenges are Addressed

**Infrastructure installation cost and responsibility**
**Operational authority, capability and maintenance responsibilities**
**Governance and privacy issues**
**Sustainable financing and business model**
**Active crash avoidance applications require extensive DSRC coverage to warrant vehicle equipage**

## SAFE TRIP Inspiration:  SmartWay 2007

**SmartWay: Exhibition and operational test of second generation ITS in Japan **
- 1,650 Exhibition attendees; 35 media outlets
- Ongoing Tokyo field test; 60 vehicles
**Adds DSRC-enabled capabilities to existing ITS infrastructure:**
- 163 TMCs; 2,800 cameras; 180,000 traffic sensors;
- Vehicle Information Communications System (VICS) with 33,000+ communications beacons; FM radio
**Builds upon installed base of ITS users:**
- 21.6 Million ETC units; 71% of transactions overall
- 28.3 Million navigation units; 19.6 Million VICS
**Motivated by distinctive Japanese conditions**
- Complex street addressing and navigation
- Expressways built to lesser “parkway” standards
- Serious motor vehicle crash rate 5X U.S
- Vehicle density 10X U.S.; congestion / limited parking
- $5.60 / gallon fuel; ~$0.40 / mile expressway tolls
- Decreased interest in automobile ownership / use among younger Japanese

## SAFE TRIP-21:  Purpose and Objectives

**Draw upon VII research and transition it into real-world use **
**Assess near-term possibilities that don’t require extensive infrastructure**
- Accelerate ITS benefits through “aftermarket” nomadic devices (quickly, cheaply)
- Exploit existing communications technologies as pathways to DSRC
**Validate public acceptance and benefits of integrated multi-modal deployment :**
- Safety
- Mobility (Road / Transit Travel Information)
- Commercial vehicle operations
- Electronic Payment
**Identify environmental / energy impacts**
**Provide feedback to VII program plans and basis for deployment decisions**

## Near Term Trends and Opportunities 

**Navigation Devices**
- Strong growth in GPS consumer electronics
- ~ 10% of vehicles now equipped, growing
- Emerging 2-way communication capabilities (cellular, WiFi) capabilities
**Mobile Phones**
- Nearly ubiquitous; data / messaging services
- GPS / location based services:
- Route planning
- Parking location / availability
- Real-time traffic and travel information
- Bluetooth / Wi-Fi / E-payment capabilities
**Mobile Wi-Fi / WiMax on the horizon**
