## Presentation Overview

**Vehicle Infrastructure Integration**

**What?**
**Why?**
**How?**

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Vehicle Infrastructure Integration

**Vehicle Infrastructure Integration**

**Connecting Vehicles and Infrastructure**

***Creating an “enabling communication infrastructure”****** ***

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Driving Forces: Safety

- 1990

- 2000

**Driving Forces: Safety**

- 1980

- We have the
- opportunity to
- change the trend.

**VII Deployment**

## Driving Forces: Mobility

**VII Deployment**

**Notes:**
I deleted the two notes about turning point and a new trend. Can you try to get the dashed portion of the delay line to curve more and just start to flatten out at the end of the curve. The curve should be about the same as the dotted curve you have on the fatality slide but the end should be horizontal. Does that make sense. 

## Improving Roadway Operation 

**Improving safety and reducing congestion requires more efficient management of the roadway system.**
**•  ****Vehicle-highway**** ****Information exchange**** ****is the key to improved management and operation of the transportation network.**
**This capability could provide valuable information on traffic conditions, crashes, adverse weather and road conditions, etc.****  **

## VII Can Enable a Wide Range of Applications

**VII Can Enable a Wide Range ****of Applications**

**Work Zone Management **

**Traveler Information**

**Weather Sensing**

**Intersection Collision Avoidance**

***...******for example***

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Intersection Collision Avoidance

**Intersection crashes account for more than 17 % of all highway fatalities. **
**IVI Program concluded that cooperative systems were necessary to completely address intersection collisions.**
**First Intelligent Intersection demonstrated.**
**DSRC at 5.9Ghtz provides necessary ****capability and security. **

## Weather Response (Snow, Ice, Fog)

**17% of all highway fatalities occur during adverse weather.**
**Weather information is critical to travelers – Gallup Survey.**
**Existing national weather information is inadequate for highway operations.**
**Efforts to enhance this information locally are expensive and of limited value.**
**Sensors on vehicles could provide continuous data on air and road surface temperature, visibility, precipitation, etc. **

**Notes:**
How about getting rid of the inset picture of the tree. Then the snowy road can be bigger.

## Traveler Information/Travel Management

**Current traveler information systems are dependent on limited data.**
**Probe vehicles could provide complete network information:**
*average speeds*
*delay*
*weather events*
*incidents*
**Data collected for roadway use **
**	****remains anonymous (without **
**	****unique vehicle identifiers).**
**Tailored information ****could be provided ****directly to motorists.**

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Telematics

**A wide range of telematics services will likely be enabled.**
**These services will likely be available to the consumer on an opt-in basis.**
**Some examples:**
*Dynamic route guidance*
*Electronic payment for services*
*Fleet management*

## Working Together!

**Working group in place.**
*USDOT, AASHTO, auto companies*
**110 public and private use **
**       ****cases developed.**
**Preliminary architecture**
**       ****defined.**
**Standards nearing **
**       ****completion.**
**DSRC prototype development **
**       ****underway.**

- FHWA

- NHTSA

***We have concluded that VII ******is technically feasible***

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Issues Remain

**Several key issues will have to be**
**resolved:**
**Institutional issues**
**Business models **
**Engaging other**
**	****stakeholders**

- FHWA

- NHTSA

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

## Addressing the Issues

**Institutional Issues**
*Privacy -- Public and Private *
*Data Ownership*
*Access*
**Business Approach – Many Options**
*Full Public Funding – Public Utility*
*Public–Private Partnership*
- Maximizing Private Involvement
**First VII Workshop in February “05”**

## US DOT Program	

**Motivation**** **
**Potential of VII is Clear.**
**No single use may justify deployment.**
**No single entity may cause deployment.**
**Some sort of cooperative venture is needed.**
**Milestone**
**A decision to proceed with deployment accompanied by a plan for deployment.**

## The VII Opportunity

**The VII Opportunity**

**A High Risk – High Reward Venture**
**The Team Consensus:*****  ******“It is worth pursuing”***

- V**ehicle**** **I**nfrastructure**** **I**ntegration**

**42,000+ reasons why**

- We have the opportunity to change the trend.
