Jeffrey L. SpencerFTA
The Problem!!!
Safety• 33,963 deaths/year (2009)• 5,800,000 crashes/year • Leading cause of death for ages 4 to 34
Mobility• 4.2 billion hours of travel
delay• $78 billion cost of urban
congestionEnvironment• 2.9 billion gallons of wasted
fuel
What is IntelliDrive? • A suite of technologies and applications that use wireless communications to provide connectivity…
– …with and between vehicles;– …between vehicles and roadway infrastructure; and– …among vehicles, infrastructure and wireless consumer devices.

IntelliDriveSM Safety
Opportunity for Safer Driving
7
Intersection Collision Avoidance
• Greater situational awareness– Your vehicle can “see” nearby
vehicles and knows roadway conditions you can’t see
• Reduce or even eliminate crashes thru:– Driver Advisories– Driver Warnings– Vehicle Control
Work ZoneNotification
IntelliDrive has the potential to address 82% of the vehicle crash scenarios involving
unimpaired drivers
IntelliDrive Safety
• Vision:– Each vehicle on the roadway (inclusive of automobiles, trucks, buses,
motor coaches, motorcycles, and pedestrian/bicyclists) will be able to communicate with other vehicles and the infrastructure such that this rich set of data and communications will support a new generation of active safety applications and safety systems.
• The vision is being implemented through three program areas:1. Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Applications2. Vehicle-to-Vehicle Applications3. Safety Pilot Demonstration
8
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure
• Wireless exchange of critical safety and operational data between vehicles and roadway infrastructure
• Avoid and/or mitigate motor vehicle • Apply to all vehicle types and all roads• Transforms infrastructure equipment into “smart
infrastructure”
9
Program Plan
• Track 1—Perform analysis to identify priority V2I applications.• Track 2—Develop prototype applications.• Track 3—Address infrastructure communications/interoperability to
enable multiple systems or components.• Track 4—Demonstrations and field operational testing.• Track 5—Deployment planning and develop tools and guidelines that will
aid practitioners in making sound decisions on how to deploy, operate, and maintain V2I systems.
• Track 6—Analyze policy and institutional issues and provide recommendations to address industry concerns that will facilitate deployment of V2I safety systems.
10
Vehicle-to-Vehicle
• Dynamic wireless exchange of data between nearby vehicles • Exchange anonymous, vehicle-based data regarding position,
speed, and location• V2V communications enables a vehicle to:
– sense threats and hazards with 360 degree awareness– calculate risk– issue driver advisories or warnings– take pre-emptive actions to avoid and mitigate crashes.
11
Program Plan
• Track 1: Crash Scenarios– Create a crash scenario framework by which to identify safety applications
needs• Track 2: Interoperability
– Ensure safety applications work across all equipped vehicles• Track 3: Benefits Assessment
– Estimate the safety benefits of V2V safety applications• Track 4: Application Development
– Develop and prototype selected safety applications• Track 5: Driver Issues
– Identify and address key driver issues with safety applications • Track 6: Policy Issues
– Identification of policy issues that are critical but not always unique to V2V and coordinate how these issues are addressed
12
Safety Pilot Demo
• Goal: – Obtain empirical data on the safety capability and value of IntelliDrive
under real world conditions for multiple vehicle platforms.• Objective:
– Support 2013 V2V decision milestone– Evaluate aftermarket/carry-in devices for “Here I Am” messages– Develop better understanding of IntelliDrive related driver issues
13
Technical Issues
• Data Security• Positioning• Scalability• Channel Switching
14
Policy Issues
• Major policy issues to be addressed– Enforcement of DSRC standards– Rules of operation– Certification (devices)– Certificate Authority (security)– Privacy– Infrastructure
• Iterative process between policy and technical
15
Driver Distraction
• Safety is the Department’s number one priority• Technology provides tremendous opportunity• Reap benefits of technology without creating distractions• Human factors research into driver distraction is a major focus of the
IntelliDrive program
16
IntelliDrive Safety Next Steps
• Execute the V2V program in support of a regulatory decision on in-vehicle equipment by 2013
• Accelerate in-vehicle technology for “Here I Am” messaging– Enables both safety and active traffic management applications
• Accelerate infrastructure communications capability– Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) as initial focus– Enables safety, mobility, and environmental applications
• Establish a real world multi-modal test bed for high value applications
17
Major Deliverables(Pilot Demo)
• Mandates to Install Safety-critical Applications• New and/or Revised Regulations Related to Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards• Recommendations on Best Practices• Guidance on How to Acquire and Maintain Transit IntelliDrive
Safety Applications
18
Transit Opportunity
• Purpose:– Deploy Transit IntelliDrive safety applications to aid in mitigating
fatalities and incidents from occurring on transit vehicles and ensuring the continued safe operation of a transit vehicle.
• Need:– Between 2003 and 2007, there were:
• 1,233 passenger fatalities• 24,000 incidents (reported)• $50 million in property damage per year
– Transit System Deaths are Front Page News! • Transit needs to help address the various technical, policy and driver
issues!
19
Current Activities
• Crash Analysis• Infrastructure Assessment• Positioning Technology Assessment• Transit Application Identification
– Pedestrian Indication– Vehicle Collision Warnings (Direct Crashes)– Vehicle Collision Warnings (Indirect Crashes)
20
Discussion Items
• Industry Day in mid-July in Chicago– Need to have transit representation from interested technology
vendors• Role of transit in the Model Deployment
– Send out Here I Am messages– Receive Here I Am messages
• Transit Driver Clinics
