World Congress Overview and Invitation

Conference Charter : 

Conference Charter Theme: Enabling Transportation Choices Sub themes: to be defined by April Vision Experience real world technologies Increase consumer awareness of ITS Demonstrate ITS projects in context (on the roads and in a contained environment) Goals Accelerate ITS deployment Create business opportunities Encourage public/private partnership

Conference Highlights: 

Conference Highlights World’s premier Intelligent Transport System (ITS) industry conference November 5 – 10, 2005 in San Francisco 5,000-10,000 attendees from across the world Attendees include international policy and decision makers 5,000-10,000 leaders of industry, government and academia Transportation agency operators and executives Senior managers from all major car companies and suppliers Senior managers from infrastructure and service suppliers University representatives National, regional and local elected politicians and staffers 200-500 press representatives What’s new (since 2002 WC in Chicago)? Innovative Mobility Showcase – demonstrations at SBC Park (negotiations pending) and proximate city streets and freeways AASHTO Day Specialized tracks Up to 5,000 targeted consumers (e.g. Silicon Valley professionals, CA government employees, university transportation program attendees) Up to 100 members of Chinese delegation

The Scope: 

The Scope Innovative Mobility Showcase Integrated industry ITS demonstrations on government rights of way and at SBC Park Conference attendees experience future ITS technologies in context AASHTO Day Roundtable of international transportation agency CEOs focused on mobility and safety Participants learn about deployments, operations, technologies and institutional issues from their peers Technology Tours ITS technologies in use by Caltrans, MTC and San Francisco Conference attendees experience deployed systems Strategic Program Plenary, Executive and Special Sessions about international ITS policies, issues and experiences Conference attendees learn about the future of ITS from industry leaders Technical Program Certification courses, technical panels and scientific panels about ITS technologies and deployments Conference attendees engage with peers, and have academic credit opportunities for publishing and certification Networking Exhibition hall and sponsored hospitality suites provide optimal venues to engage with high caliber attendees Conference attendees interact with policy and decision makers every day Tourism Trips to tourist destinations before and after the event Conference attendees can leverage trip to see California and beyond

IVI and VII at the World Congress: 

IVI and VII at the World Congress US DOT has sent out a letter to all the IVI participants inviting them to demonstrate at the World Congress 2005 A test track at SBC Park will be used for IVI demonstrations, as well as other ADAS and Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation demonstrations Caltrans (the California State Department of Transportation) and MTC (the Metropolitan Transportation Commission) are working very closely with the World Congress Organizing Committee The World Congress will serve as the first milestone in the deployment of VII California Caltrans hosted a meeting for car companies in June and sent out a follow-up letter inviting them to participate Deployment will continue statewide beyond 2005

Public-Private Partnerships: 

Public-Private Partnerships Call for Submissions Caltrans and MTC, together with the, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LAMTA), the California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), and ITS America (ITSA), issued a call for submissions (CFS) in 2003 to private industry The CFS process is providing a unique opportunity for the public sector and private industry to evaluate a new contracting process for deploying rapidly evolving technologies Agencies provide access to public rights-of-way and public data in exchange for an evaluation of these technologies There were over 20 submittals, and nine projects approved or close to approval City of San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic is working with the World Congress to allow installation of DSRC/WAVE infrastructure on its right of way to support ITS demonstrations

Technology Platform Committee: 

Technology Platform Committee The World Congress Technology Platform Sub-committee also issued a call for proposals for non-CFS demonstrations to be included in the Innovative Mobility Showcase, either as technical tours or at the SBC Park showcase The TPC received a dozen submissions on many topics (e.g probe data, traffic information, routing, smart cards, toll collection, etc.) from the following sources: ACS, ASIM, Avande, Circumnav, Cogenia Partners, ITS Public Transit Forum, Optisoft, RouteMatch, RTD Denver, and UC Irvine

Innovative Mobility Showcase Subcommittee Charter: 

Innovative Mobility Showcase Subcommittee Charter Enable the World Congress attendees to experience ITS demonstrations in a coordinated fashion on the Freeways, City Streets, and SBC Park by coordinating the projects, marketing and infrastructure deployments Coordinate projects with Projects originators Technology Platform Committee Call for Submissions Project deployments Caltrans MTC San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic (Muni) Tours and demos Local Arrangements Committee Coordinate administration with World Congress Organizing Committee Marketing Sub-committee

IMS Vision: Imagine this….: 

IMS Vision: Imagine this…. Cars that talk and listen to the roadside + Roadside that talks and listens to cars, enabling: Information Everywhere Pretrip and en route: real time and in-vehicle Safety, traveler information and traffic management In a controlled environment (SBC Park Lot B) On the Streets of San Francisco (and freeways, too) This will be the first – and therefore truly revolutionary – significant demonstration of the emerging, exciting Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation concept

Part A: SBC Park: 

Part A: SBC Park The Innovative Mobility Showcase Part B at SBC Park will be composed of live vehicle demonstrations where attendees can “ride and drive” automobiles, trucks and buses that are fitted with ITS technologies within the controlled environment of SBC Park’s Lot B. Some of these demos would be staged from SBC Parking Lot B, where vehicles would perform a circuit within Lot B, then proceed to Part B, Streets of San Francisco. Potential specific elements in Part A Intelligent Intersection (e.g. Intersection Collision Avoidance, Traffic light phase communication to vehicles) Test Track Circuit (e.g. Curve Speed Warning, Lane Keeping) Smart Parking (e.g. On-street Parking Availability, Automated Parking Assistant) “Info Pump” (e.g. Map Updates, Infotainment)   Transit Banking Weigh-in-Motion station Additionally, there will be a staging area, along with company booths. Closed circuit TV transmission of SBC Parking Lot B events would be provided to the Moscone Center exhibit floor, providing a virtual experience to large numbers of World Congress attendees.  

Part B:The Streets of San Francisco: 

Part B:The Streets of San Francisco Enabling infrastructure will be provided to allow wireless connectivity (e.g. WAVE/DSRC, WiFi, etc.) along a route around Moscone Center and SBC Park, including including both city streets and freeways. The wireless network will allow vehicles to talk and listen to the roadside and each other. Basic information, to include vehicle location and infrastructure status will be exchanged. Many applications in safety, mobility and system operations arise from this concept. Some include:  Traffic probe data, dynamic route advisory, intersection safety and intermodal connectivity. We will install a circuit of interconnected RSUs. This circuit includes city streets, a segment of the 280 and 101 freeways and could then handle dozens of cars provided by vehicle OEM partners, who could interact with RSUs and demonstrate communications applications. This set of demonstrations would be deliberately constrained to use only drivers undertaking normal traffic maneuvers.
