Initial Application Selection for VII Test Beds

• ITS-M Annual Conference
• Ralph Robinson
• VII Consortium
• June, 2006

VII Program on Track

• VII Program proceeding as planned
• 2008 VII decision date
• 2010/11 VII Deployment opportunity
• VIIC is launching initial work to deploy a
  Proof-of-concept system in 2007
• Many active partners including MDOT and BAH
• Expect 20 40 vehicles evaluating 9 applications

Key Use Cases

• Electronic Brake Light Warning
• Signal Violation Warning
• In-Vehicle Signage
• Dynamic Traffic Information
• Roadway Conditions (weather and potholes)
• Traffic Management and Control
• Alternative Route Guidance
• Payment Transactions (tolls, gasoline, parking)
• Provisioning and Security management

POC Applications Selected

• The selected applications are proposed for
  Proof-of-Concept test bed deployment
• Likely the first VII production applications
• Applications support diverse interests (safety,
  mobility and consumer)
• System provides good test coverage
• Important to have near term benefits even without
  high populations of VII equipped vehicles
• Diverse applications mix to determine reliable
  performance under concurrent or interleaved
  application operation

8
POC Applications Selected (cont.)

• The proposed POC applications are the starting
  points for evaluation of initial production
  deployments
• Other applications may be added as resources or
  priorities become identified
• Individual VIIC members may vary the set they
  support based on internal needs
• Only the common, non-competitive components of
  these UCs will be jointly developed

System Testing

• The VII vehicle fleet testing will start locally
  and grow to sizable fleets and infrastructure
  deployments over the next 3 years
• Initial Proof-of-Concept in S.E. Michigan
• Future FOTs in CA, FL, MN and potentially others
• These fleets should serve to satisfy the various
  stakeholder deployment decision criteria
  including
• Confirmation that the VII system functionally
  works as specified,
• Demonstrate suppliers capability to build and
  install
• Implementation confirms business case assumptions
• The deployed fleet applications provide business
  value to the stakeholders and/or driver benefits
  over the course of the deployment period

Next Steps

• VIIC is preparing the Application Work Order for
  submission to USDOT partnership this month
• Deploy SE Michigan Test Bed
• Partners include MDOT, CAMP and USDOT
• Demonstration of the selected applications will
  be shown mid-year, 2007
