1
ITS Deployment Global Thinking and Local Action

• Patrick Conroy
• California PATH
• PATH Annual Meeting
• October 24-25, 2002

2
Project Team/Schedule

• Joint PATH / INRETS Research (MOU)
• Patrick Conroy (PATH)Jean-Luc Ygnace (INRETS)
• Acknowledge Respondents
• Centered at INRETS, Lyon
• April 1 - July 31, 2002(Completed On Time)

3
Project Goals

• Identify Factors for Success- Institutional
  (between organizations)- Organizational (within
  organizations)
• Summarize Current European/U.S. Policies and
  Programs

4
ITS vs Traditional Solutions

• Technology Insertion, Interoperability and
  Maintenance
• System Approaches for Planning, Operations
  and Service Connectivity
• Private Sector Products/Services Linked to
  Public Infrastructure/Services

Methodology

• Literature/Web Search (Europe)
• Reviewed ITS-A 10-year Plan and National
  Dialogue on Operations
• Developed Questionnaires (2 sets)
• Interviewed France DOT Officials
• Conducted 4 Case Studies
• Top-down/Bottom-up Analysis

7
European Policies

• EU Transport Policy for 2010 w/ITS annex
• e-Europe 2002 Action Plan- IT-competitive
  Europe- RD to Accelerate ITS Deployment-
  Remove Barriers to Private Mobility Services
• e-Safety Initiative Soon (coop vehicle- highway
  systems)

8
European Programs

• ITS Deployment - Trans-European Transport
  Network- National ITS Programs w/ EU Funding -
  ITS City Pioneers (mainstreaming)- Galileo
  Civil-use Satellite
• Trans-European Road Network- 6 Multinational
  Collaborations- Monitoring, pre/in-trip info,
  coop cross- border traffic/incident mgmt, TMC
  networking, ETC, etc.

European Research Programs

• Broad Themes Integrated Europe and Quality
  of Life in IT Society
• Well Funded 17.5 Billion Euros (next 5 yrs)
• Process Promotes Practitioner Involvement
• Substantial ITS Elements
• First Order Priority Reliable/Consistent Data
  on Transport Demand, Vehicle Flows and
  Refinement of Forecasting Tools

12
National Example France

• 2001 Master Plan Objectives- Optimum Use of
  Existing Infrastructure- Promote Enviro-friendly
  Modes (Info Pricing)- Safety
• State Priority Actions- Lead/Coordinate
  Multimodal ATIS- Interface State Traffic Mgmt w/
  Local Transit- Integrate Highway/Transit Fare
  Payment - Software for Decision Support- Data
  Collection/Dissemination

13
U.S. Policies/Programs

• ITS America 10-year Plan Culture of Transport
  Management/Operations
• USDOT Dialogue on Operations Proceedings, 2001
  Summit (Maryland)
• Federal ITS RD IVI and Clubby

14
Case StudiesITS User Services

• Traffic Management Ile de France/Paris
• Traffic Safety Truck Digital Tach (EU)
• Transit Marseilles
• Integrated ITS Los Angeles

15
Case StudiesInteresting Aspects

• Paris/Ile de France Traffic - Multidepartment
  w/in France DOT (SIER)- Operational Agreements
  (SIER/Paris)- Link Travel Times on CMS
• Marseilles Transit- Recognized ITS Value by
  Capital Group- Interaction bwt Fleet and Transit
  Ops Centers- Integrated Fare Payt
  Non-transport Uses- Urban Community (MPO type)-
  Private Providers w/ Incentives to Expand

16
Case StudiesInteresting Aspects

• Los Angeles IMAJINE Integrated ITS-
  Regional/National ITS Architecture- Link to
  Early Deployment Planning- Expanded Countywide
  w/RIITS Initiative- Model for Demo to
  Deployment?- Formal Evaluation to Address
  Synergies
• EU Digital Tachograph Safety- Regulatory,
  Mandated Approach- EU Research/Private
  Development

Findings
19
Findings Policy/Program Review

• EU and U.S. Roles/Environments Similar- Policy
  Direction w/Funding Incentives- European
  National U.S. State DOTs - Regional/Local
  Issues Influences
• Consistent Theme of Quality Data Needs
• ITS Recognized as Integrated Framework and
  Toolbox (U.S. lead on architecture)

20
Findings Policy/Program Review

• Europe Transit Seamless Door - Door Services
  w/ Livable Cities Theme
• U.S. Focus on Mainstreaming System Mgmt and
  Organizational Shortcomings
• European RD Model Better for Research to ITS
  Deployment

21
Findings Case Study Reviews

• Planning and Funding Processes- Success In Spite
  of Planning/Funding Process- Resource Gaps for
  Tech Support and OM
• Decision Support Tools- No Customized Tools for
  ITS/System Mgmt IDd- Current Methods Undervalue
  ITS/System Mgmt- Lessons from Others Utilized
• Deployment Agency Characteristics- Success in
  Spite of Organizational Structures- IT Expertise
  Gap Use of Contractors

22
Findings Case Study Reviews

• Partnership Arrangements- Success from Special
  Regional Partnerships- Issue of Equitable
  Funding Shares
• Private Sector Products/Services- Some ATIS,
  but Govt Competition- Innovation for Private
  Transit Services- Digital Tachograph Industry
  Refinement of Govt RD

23
Findings Policy vs Local Reality

• Contrasts- ITS Vision vs Local Political Hot
  Buttons - No Local Rules for Public/Private
  Partnerships
• Synergies- Architectures and Standards Helped-
  EU RD Fed All European Cases Studied-
  State-of-the-Practice Info Helped

24
Resources / Contacts

• List of European ITS-related Activities,
  Websites and Contacts in Report

25
Current Status

• TRB Presentation?
• Follow-up Project (TO 4157)- Complete LA
  IMAJINE (Caltrans/City Inputs)- Add U.S. Case
  San Antonio Transguide- European Road Network
  Virtual Interstate?- French Private Toll Roads
  Value of ATIS
