Demonstrations(focusing on “general” demos and not a specific project that is not

open to the broad community)

• Categories of demonstrations:– Traditional systems (e.g. ATMS and ATIS)– Transit centers– Rail and freight operations– Vehicle centric (V2V and V2I)

• Locations:– Europe– Asia– US

Europe Demonstrations• World Congress on ITS 2009 – Stockholm

– http://www.itsworldcongress.com/index.cfm?do=technical.demonstrations– Experience Park: ITS in Daily Life– Sustainable Railway– Cooperative Systems Showcase– Demonstration Theatre

• Cooperative Mobility Showcase held in Amsterdam, March 2010– COOPERS,CVIS, and SAFESPOT results highlighted and demonstrated– http://www.cooperativemobilityshowcase.eu/nl/en/pages/default.aspx

• Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge (GCDC)– Organized by TNO and HTAS from the Netherlands.– March 2011: “Technological solutions already developed in the area of

cooperative driving will be highlighted by this event, held on a stretch of road between Eindhoven and Helmond (The Netherlands).”

– 2012: “International teams competing to deliver the most effective cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system in predetermined traffic scenarios”

Asia Demonstrations• Smartway 2007

– Japan effort to highlight ITS technologies• ITS-Safety 2010-Japan in Feb 2009 – outdoor exhibits:

– "Smart Parking" and "Dynamic Part and Ride“– variable road dividing lines using the light emitting diodes.– OEM demonstations of safety systems– Vehicle demonstraitons of:

• ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control)• PCS (Pre-Crash Safety Brake)

• http://www.its-safety2010.jp/ . • NEDO program

– Development of Energy-saving ITS Technologies that is focusing on cooperative and autonomous technologies, namely platooning of heavy trucks.

– A demo is scheduled for I believe the end of this calendar year in Japan– Another demo at the end of 2012.

• ITS World Congress 2010 – Busan:– October 25-29, 2010– Report to be “spending lots of money on demonstrations”– What will be done is quiet

U.S. Demonstrations• ITS Related demonstrations that include commercial vehicle

demonstrations:– ITS World Congress:

• 2005 in San Francisco• 2008 in New York City• 2011 in Orlando (see upcoming slides)

– Michigan Test Bed– New York CVII Demonstration– ITS America Annual Meetings (limited focused demos)

• Autonomous / Military Vehicle Demonstrations:– DARPA Grand Challenge I - 2004– DARPA Grand Challenge II - 2005– DARPA Urban Challenge – 2007– Ft. Hood Robotics Rodeo – 2009– AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International)

• Annual demonstrations– Many smaller, more focused events

Demonstration Experience (Current Thinking)

8

• 2011 World Congress Technology Demonstrations = 2011 World Congress Technology Deployments

• Build and demonstrate different deployment options of cooperative systems

• Establish a large-scale outreach for transportation technology (public, transportation professionals, executives from other industries, etc.)

• Establish local commitment for vehicle fleets to regularly utilize the infrastructure

• Leverage USDOT funding for infrastructure deployment and marry with regional commitment for O&M
