• Connecting Vehicles and Infrastructure

Creating an enabling communication
infrastructure via a Coordinated Investment
3
Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI)

4
Vision of VII Communications
A vehicle/highway cooperative system for Location
Based Services, Consumer Communications, and
Active Safety
5
Low Data Cost

• This collaboration will result in a consumer
  facing, low cost data pipe to the vehicle that
  can drive many previously unfulfilled telematics
  promises
• This wireless infrastructure will evolve into a
  seamless integration of communication
  technologies that will be fast, cheap and
  ubiquitous

DSRC Program Status

• DSRC Standards Nearly Complete
• 802.11p to be balloted in November 2005
• DSRC Industry Consortium (DIC) Developing
  Prototype to DSRC Standards
• Mark IV, Raytheon, Sirit, Transcore
• Module and chip design complete
• Building Prototype Units
• Developing Software
• Prototype Testing Begins Dec 05

16
Track 3 Business Model

• Develop the Business Requirements for the
  Deployment of VII
• Basic VII Concepts and Technical Attributes
• Long Term Sustainability Requirements
• Deployment synchronization
• Identify Business Options and Satisfying
• those Requirements
• Role of Telecoms, ISPs and 3rd party users
• Tradeoff Various Business Approaches

17
Technical Attributes Influencing Business Model

• VII safety applications privacy concerns demand
  a robust and secure system
• Network operations 24/7
• Subscriber Authorization who has access
• Software updates for current / new applications
• Sustainability of System MO

18
Implications for the Business Models

• Deployment must be nationally uniform
• Timeliness, security, QOS, essential
• Installation MO addressed up front
• An Operational Entity to Oversee VII Operations
  Over the Long Term

19
Approaches to an Operational Entity

• To Oversee VII Operations Over The Long Term
• Creation of an Entity
• Contract with a non-profit FFRDC
• Private non-profit AAMVAnet
• Fed chartered corp TVA, COMSAT
• Government agency FAA
• Evaluating alternatives

20
Track 4 Institutional Issues

• Privacy
• Liability
• Data Ownership

21
Protecting Privacy is Essential

• VII System design does not support public driver
  or vehicle identification
• Does not support law enforcement
• Private services available on Opt-in basis only
• Drafting Privacy Principles

22
Track 5 Outreach

• Public VII Meeting
• Feb 9 10 in San Francisco
• 250 Attendees Mostly Private Sector
• Presentation material posted at
• http//www.itsa.org/vii_meeting.html
• Begin Scheduling Focused Workshops
• Technical Architecture May 27, 28
• Telecommunications
• Applications
• Privacy

23
Track 6 Testing

• Proof of Concept Tests
• Engineering Development
• Controlled Environment
• A Few Vehicles
• Field Operational Test
• Deploy in a Metro Area on State Roads
• 50 to 500 RSUs
• Potentially, Thousands of Vehicles
• Key Applications

24
Common Test Bed Goals

• Ford, Nissan, DCX to deploy local test beds
• Need to establish
• Common infrastructure for shared use
• A framework to solve and demonstrate new
  architecture elements not currently understood or
  validated (must learn something)
• A usable and scalable system that can be grown
  over time
• A usable resource to be shared by multiple
  developers
• Identify non-technical issues associated with the
  test bed and share with the national consortiums
  for discussion and consideration
• Evaluate the use of Mesh Networks, WiFi and DSRC
  (and their enabling technologies)

25
Demonstration Project Scope

• Deploy a multi-technology wireless blanket over
  sections of the metropolitan area
• It provides an immediate development environment
  and support for new products and services.
• A combination of technologies would be used
• WiFi hot spot deployment outside buildings,
  parking lots and roadways supporting mobile
  communications up to 80 mph
• DSRC vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside
  communication at several intersections
• Cellular to cover areas outside of WiFi/DSRC
  coverage areas
• Supports VII classes of applications (safety,
  mobility, consumer and commercial)
• Seamless connectivity and interoperability among
  the technologies are key attributes to be
  supported

26
Initial Ford Test Bed Investigation

• Deploy proof-of-concept WiFi and DSRC in a small
  local zone
• Expand size of deployment area and vehicle fleet
  size in subsequent phases
• Demonstrate smooth hand-off when roaming between
  cellular, WiFi and DSRC coverage areas
• Demonstrate mobile operation on expressway
  segment to 200 MPH
• Confirm interference free operation with
  consistent data rates of gt512kbps to each client
• Investigate backhaul bandwidth requirements

27
Expanded Deployment Demonstration

• Larger deployment zones
• MDOT to connect Test Beds via expressway
  corridors
• Demonstrate probe data transmission, collection
  and processing
• MDOT will explore expanding to larger regions in
  later phases
• MDOT wants to take lead to drive National Test
  Bed deployment
• ITS-M Annual meeting May 24th to present plan

28
Potential Partners

• OEMS (Ford, GM, DCX and Nissan)
• MDOT (roadway DSRC infrastructure)
• Counties (RCOC, Wayne)
• Cities (Dearborn, others?)
• Telecoms (T-Mobile, Verizon, others?)
• Suppliers (Delphi, Motorola, Denso, others?)
