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

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)!

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 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)

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$750,000


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!)


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

Convergence Opportunity with CVII


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


A simple idea made possible through modern technology

- Communicates/Delineates Work Zone or Incident locations in Real Time

- Provides Traffic Monitoring Information
