Why Now and Why Pennsylvania?

Why NowRevolutionary Time (not only) in Transportation

Through Disruptive Technology

• Internet of Things

• Big Data

• Information and Communications Technology

• Cyber Physical Systems

Why Pennsylvania

• Progressive leadership at PennDOT and Turnpike (SITC)

• Bi-partisan and Bi-cameral Legislative Support• Support from the Governor and Multiple

Departments • Forward Thinking MPOs and Municipalities • Growing Industry Cluster • Cutting Edge University Research• Long Term Transportation Funding

Traffic21’s approach is…

• Research

• Development

• Deployment through partnerships

Pennsylvania Connected Vehicle Testbeds

• Pittsburgh’s East End, is a USDOT Affiliated Test Bed for connected vehicle technology.

• Additional connected vehicle infrastructure in Cranberry Township, Ross Township and Harrisburg.

• Three Major USDOT Pilots: New York City, Tampa FL and Wyoming. Continuing testbedin Southeast Michigan.

• Ensuring Interoperability– Finalizing communication standards– Managing congestion and available spectrum– Detecting “bad actors” (misbehavior) and limiting impacts of

anomalous messages

• Ensuring security of messaging (authenticity, trust) between vehicles…and between vehicles and infrastructure

• Protecting Privacy

• Efficient data delivery system (to support necessary V2I and I2V communications)

CV Technical Challenges

• Issue a regulatory proposal within this Administration

• Intend to require an onboard DSRC-based V2V communications technology

• Potential to address 80% of crashes involving non-impaired drivers!

The Integration of the Shared Economy with

Connected Automaton• Last Mile• On Demand Transit • Modal Shift • Carless and Car-free Lifestyle

• Exogenous: The complexity & uncertainty of the real world– Weather, lighting, and road conditions; construction; accidents; obsolete

information, loss of GPS.

• Endogenous: Online and safe recovery from failures of sensors, actuators, computing or communications.– Sensors and actuators

• Calibration, wear and tear, outright failure.

• Assurance: How to verify and validate safety & correctness?

• Interactions: Vehicular Networks– communicate securely and coordinate carefully

• Reliability– cost and maintenance, customer acceptance

• Incremental deployment– Semi-autonomy on-demand autonomy full autonomy

• Legal implications

Connected & Autonomous Vehicles – 2040 Vision

• Infrastructure investment and design

• Communication devices / real time data use

• Driver licensing

• Workforce training needs

• Freight movement

Proposed PennDOT Actions for 2040 Vision

• Evaluate planned capacity enhancements.

• Collaborate with private sector to convert data into information.

• Begin deployment of V2I applications at key locations.

• Reconfigure and repurpose lanes.

• Dedicate highway lanes to autonomous vehicle use.

Pennsylvania Autonomous Vehicle Policy Task Force

• Pending Legislation for Autonomous Vehicle Testing

• Policy vs regulation

• Balance of Safety and Innovation
