Innovative Partnerships: In The Beginning…..

• Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium– Formed in 2005 as a 501(c)(6) Non-Profit

• U.S. DOT – Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO), at DOT’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA)

Early Collaboration

Provide Funding Mechanism

Provide Program Direction/Oversight

Primary Responsibility for Infrastructure/Test Beds

Provide In-Kind Resources

Primary Responsibility for Vehicle Systems

Proof-of-Concept Demonstration

• Designed to Focus on DSRC– Road Side Equipment Infrastructure Dependent

8

Proof-of-Concept (cont.)• Prototype On-board Equipment

9

Proof-of-Concept (Cont.)

• In-Vehicle Applications Feasibility Testing– Probe Data Collection (Including Vehicle Data from CAN

Bus)

– In-Vehicle Signage- Traveler Information (Next Exit) Signs

- Work Zone/Speed Limit Signs

– Navigation

– E-Payment- Tolling

- Parking

– Heartbeat (V2V) Communication

10

What Did the POC Reveal?• IntelliDriveSM as a concept was feasible

• DSRC communications has some issues– Somewhat line-of-sight

– Antenna placement is significant factor

• V2V communication possible for safety applications– Lingering questions on latency

• Probe data can be collected and viewed in near real-time

• In-vehicle signage is very possible and worked well with DSRC

• GPS accuracy still is challenging for safety applications

What’s Happening in Minnesota?

• IntelliDriveSM (VII) for Safety, Mobility and User Fee Implementation– Two Year Field Test

– Examine Integration of IntelliDrive with Mileage-Based User Fees (MBU)

– 500 Vehicles equipped with devices

• Hennepin County– 10,000 installations in vehicles

– Capturing MBUF

– To be Funded via TIGER Grant
