Commercial Vehicles & Intelligent Transportation Systems: 

Commercial Vehicles & Intelligent Transportation Systems a.k.a. CVII, VII, CVISN, E-Screening, Smart Roadside & Other Scary Words! “The Convergence of Real Time Data, Information and Operations - VII” Rick McDonough, NYSDOT Office of Safety & Security Services

Transportation Agencies have Common Emphasis Areas: 

Transportation Agencies have Common Emphasis Areas Mobility & System Management: Congestion mitigation to maintain mobility and economic vitality Improve efficiencies and effectiveness of systems and operations Safety: Crash avoidance and reduction of accidents, injuries and deaths Security: Protect key assets and support security operations and incident response

Priority Emphasis: Freight Trucks are here…more are coming National Highway System (FHWA) Trucks Per Year 2005 and 2035 (Global Insight for AASHTO) Major Truck-Freight Bottlenecks 2004 (CS for FHWA)

Slide6: 

Problem Statement With current and projected growth in vehicle trips: Need to improve safety, mobility, security and economic vitality across the entire transportation network Need to leverage (significant) existing investments Need smarter integration of elements - vehicles, driver, cargo, infrastructure, data, and roadside activities Need to better manage transportation system including cross-agency coordination Need Commercial and Transit Vehicles prioritized and integrated in ITS initiatives

Potential Solution: Next Generation of ITS – Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII)!: 

Potential Solution: Next Generation of ITS – Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII)! Uses Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) – same as E-Z Pass! (915MHz transponder based toll collection system using roadside readers) 5.9GHz technology – high speed, high capacity, secure data transmission Can be integrated into control systems of vehicle Allows high speed, high capacity, secure data communication between vehicles and to/from roadside to vehicles

VII Can Enable a Wide Range of Applications: 

VII Can Enable a Wide Range of Applications Safety Examples Lane/Road Departure Road Condition Warning Emergency Electronic Brake Lights In-vehicle signing Intersection collision avoidance Parking availability Mobility Examples Probe Data Travel Time Electronic Payment Incident Data

National VII Initiative Lacks CVO Input: 

National VII Initiative Lacks CVO Input VII National Executive Leadership Team (ELT) VII National Working Group USDOT (FHWA JPO) VII-C and other OEMs (Ford, DCX, Nissan, Honda, BMW, VW, GM, Toyota, etc.)* AASHTO (MI, MN, CA, FL, WA, etc.) VII National Coalition Commercial & Transit Vehicles need to be added!

VII and 5.9 GHz DSRC in Action: 

VII and 5.9 GHz DSRC in Action A car speeding toward a red light receives a safety alert. Others are warned that it is suddenly braking. NO PLANS to make this work with Trucks or Busses A disabled car and tow truck transmit hazard warnings to approaching passenger vehicles (only!).

VII Coverage – Spring Valley Corridor: 

VII Coverage – Spring Valley Corridor Potential 14 sites covering 13 miles Coverage between each interchange link Average density: .9 miles Greatest distance between sites: 1.7 miles Least distance between sites: .6 miles

Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII): 

Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) Objective(s): Utilizing the most advanced communications technologies, exchange real-time information between the roadside and commercial vehicles to improve safety and mobility Field-demonstrate CVII-based capabilities through a permanently deployed 13-mile test site on the NYS Thruway Authority Corridor during 2008 World Congress Initiate commercial vehicle communication development to be included in the national VII effort Approved I-95 Funding: $750,000

I-95 Corridor Coalition: Year 15 Priority Project Recommendation: 

I-95 Corridor Coalition: Year 15 Priority Project Recommendation Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) Utilizing DSRC communications technologies to exchange real-time information between the roadside and commercial vehicles to improve safety, security and mobility Initiate and advance CV Manufacturers VII vehicle based development to “catch up” with VIIC Develop and integrate software to allow CV vehicles to communicate with roadside system (and to passenger vehicles!)

Slide20: 

Importance of the Effort Critical to the national transportation goals of safety, security & mobility that CV be in VII Initiative “box” The investment in, and benefits from, VII & ITS can only be maximized if the most critical vehicles types (CV, Transit) in terms of facility design, safety, security risk, infrastructure maintenance & economic benefits are included

NYSTA, NYSDOT & I-95 CVII Program: 

NYSTA, NYSDOT & I-95 CVII Program Modifying existing infrastructure and communications for 13 mile VII corridor with 4 additional sites (NYSDOT, NYSTA, NYSBA) Develop CV vehicle system and software to build upon existing VII efforts, I-95 NC/NCHP/Volvo Truck Project and FMCSA’s Wireless Vehicle Safety Inspection Project Test Wireless CV Driver I.D and Verification (TWIC, Biometrics) Test Wireless Vehicle Safety Inspection Information (brake condition, tire pressure, light status, etc.) Goal: Complete work by October 2008
