Enhancing Dynamic Mobility Through Connected Vehicle Applications and Multi-Source Data Utilization
The Connected Vehicle Program focuses on developing dynamic mobility applications that leverage multi-source data from travelers, vehicles, and infrastructure to enhance decision-making for system managers and users. This program aims to improve transportation system efficiency, safety, and reliability while identifying innovative wireless connectivity forms. With a three-phase approach, we will analyze candidate apps, develop tools, and conduct focused deployments, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and performance evaluation to drive adoption and commercialization in transportation networks.

Connected Vehicle Program – Dynamic Mobility Applications Highlights for Tech Scan Scrum
Research Scope • Apps that exploit multi-source data from travelers, vehicles and infrastructure. • Develop apps that improve “dynamic decision making” by system managers and users. • Identify innovative forms of wireless connectivity in support of mobility apps • Improve capability of transpo system to provide safe, secure, and reliable movement of goods and people.
Research Objectives • Mulitiple, multi-modal applications leveraging multi-source data. • Commercialization of applications. • Applications demonstrate cost-effective and significant mobility and productivity benefit.
Research Questions • Are cross-modal applications effective? Which are best for deployment? • What minimum infrastructure is needed for maximum benefit? • What apps can be developed using data available today and with future data? • Which apps require public and/or private sector investments?
3-Phase Work Program Overview • Phase 1: Foundational Analysis. • Canidate apps and “data environments,” DCM coordination, prototype app, open-source process, and performance metrics. • Phase 2: Tool Development. • App ITS program relevancy, proof-of concept, simulated test beds, and open-source development. • Phase 3: Focused Deployments. • Promising apps considered for pilot deployment. Strong evaluation focus in this phase.
Roadmap tracks 0. Program Support • Stakeholder Engagement • Mobility Applications Research and Development • Sub-Tracks: Technical, Intuitional and Policy, and Standards • Proof of Concept Tests • Demonstrations • Evaluation and Performance Measures • Outreach and Technology Transfer
DMA App framework: EnableATIS • Enable Advanced Traveler Information System • Two operational scenarios possible: laissez-faire, incremental build-out approach, or robust, multimodal, multisource traveler information environment • Project Goals • Transform the user experience on the transportation network • Transportation networks will experience measureable gains in performance (mobility, safety, efficiency) • Robust traveler information suite enabled through data environment: public sector system and operations data, transportation network ops, and user data from privately operated systems.
DMA App Bundle: FRATIS • Freight Advanced Traveler Information Systems • Two apps: • Freight Specific Dynamic Travel Planning and Performance • Drayage Optimization • One basic open source, and one commercial app • Three sites for demos: LA gateway, DFW, and South Florida
