Mobility Breakout ResultsVision

• Highways facilities and key touch points on the
  freight systems (ports and terminals,
  international border crossings, toll plazas,
  weigh stations, and other check points) use
  technologies and information to
• Facilitate the flow of commercial vehicle traffic
• Help prevent and respond to crashes and other
  incidents
• Reduce unnecessary delay for commercial vehicles
• Initial emphasis on streamlining safety,
  security, and regulatory compliance processes

3
Mobility Breakout ResultsProblem

• Increasing delay and decreasing reliability of
  the freight system
• On mainline
• At touch points
• Mobility impacts of crashes and other incidents
• Limited staffing and financial resources for
  state governments

4
Mobility Breakout ResultsObjectives

• Support efficient motor carrier and motor coach
  operations through mobility technologies
• Reduce delays for commercial vehicles on the
  highway system
• NHS mainline
• Intermodal connectors
• Touch points
• Get unsafe vehicles off the road (reduces delays
  due to crashes)
• Reduce labor and infrastructure costs for
  government

5
Mobility Breakout ResultsKey Assumptions

• Program includes RD, deployment, and operations
• Federal/state/private sector partnership
• Emphasis is on NHS including intermodal
  connectors
• Coordinate with local governments on other
  facilities
• On-port activities handled through other programs
• Focus on mobility issues affecting commercial
  vehicle traffic
• Not dealing with physical capacity constraints
  except for providing information to help optimize
  capacity and to help commercial vehicles avoid
  unanticipated delays
• VII one tool in the toolbox look at solutions
  including VII but also solutions that dont
  include VII

Mobility Breakout ResultsPotential Solutions

• Virtual weigh stations
• Parking/staging area management/reservation/
  information systems
• Port appointment systems/advanced notification of
  arrival/fast pass
• Border crossing queue management/information
  sharing
• Targeted traffic information for commercial
  vehicles
• Systems to push information to drivers
• Initial focus on hazards -- rollover, lane
  departure, weather, low bridge warning, work
  zone, stop and go conditions, etc
• Could expand to information on driver services,
  etc.

Mobility Breakout ResultsPotential Solutions
Supporting Technologies

• Sensors, e.g., 3 dimensional measuring systems
• Vehicle/driver identification methods
• Standardized placement of USDOT readable with
  OCR
• RFID chips embedded in decals
• Single transponder as part of vehicle
• Biometrics
• Information delivery mechanisms to driver
• DMS, cell phone, onboard, etc.
• Paths for getting data between vehicle and
  roadside
• VII/DSRC/other direct flows
• Telematics/other indirect flows

8
Mobility Breakout ResultsPotential Measures of
Effectiveness

• Travel time
• Reliability
• Secondary crashes
• At touch points
• Average delay
• Throughput
• Time/cost saved through inspection and other
  processes handled electronically/at mainline
  speed
• Infrastructure and labor costs for state
