Project Proposal: Survey and Assessment of Current Deployment of Applications for Surface Transportation Utilizing GNSS in the APEC Region Maureen Walker (On behalf of Walter Kulyk, Chair, APEC Intermodal & ITS Experts Group) May 28, 2008
Project Summary • Proposing APEC Economy • USA • Co-sponsoring Economy: To be determined • Project Cost • Total Funding: $350,000 USD • APEC Funding: $200,000 USD • Brief Description • Survey and assessment of land-based GNSS applications • Impact in safety, security and efficiency of surface transportation • Target surface transportation modes (rail, highway, maritime, etc.) • Benefits all APEC Economies • Promotes trade throughout APEC Economies
Project Details • Goals • Enable transfer of land-based GNSS technology & applications • Increase capability and safety of transportation equipment • Strengthen cooperation among APEC Economies • Key Objectives • Provide information on land-based GNSS applications • Study area: Train Control/Signaling/Supervision, Fleet Management, Passenger Information, Container Management/Tracking, Precision Airport Approach, etc. • Stakeholder Workshop • Perform assessment and analysis • Reusability • Cost benefit • Legislative and regulatory acceptance • Document 3 most promising applications • Return on investment (ROI) • Economy impact • Concept of operations • Standard requirements
Project Detail continued… • Methodology - A consultant team implements 3 phases - Phase 1: • Develop and conduct survey in APEC and other regions • Current land-based GNSS applications • Future needs and requirements • Organize stakeholder workshop • Lessons learned • Best practices • Complete technical report • Analysis and results - Phase 2: • Perform assessment of land-based GNSS applications • Re-usability or suitability • Cost-benefit analysis • Acceptance criteria in APEC Economies • Complete technical report • Analysis and results
Project Detail continued… • Methodology continued….. • Phase 3 • Develop criteria for analysis • Return on investment • Reusability • Economy impact • Compliance, etc • Document 3 best land-based GNSS applications • Concept of operation • Submit final technical report • Project Outputs • APEC Economies’ workforce development • Improved safety/operation of rail and other modes • Stakeholder workshop and public/private participation • Increased knowledge of land-based GNSS applications • APEC Economies to receive and assess reports
Miscellaneous Project Info • Output Publication • Various APEC groups and websites to disseminate • Final Reports • Presentations • Assessments • Beneficiaries • APEC Economies • Attendance at stakeholder workshop • Skill training • Private Sector • Benefit local industries • Participation of professional associations • Public Sector • Local transportation authorities • Regional and national government
Timing Information • Pre-Award Phase • Project Approval -> Solicitation -> Evaluation -> Selection • June 2008 to December 2008 • Phase I • Survey -> Workshop -> Report • January 2009 to June 2009 • Phase 2 • Analysis -> Assessment -> Prioritization • July 2009 to December 2009 • Phase 3 • Top three Land-based GNSS Applications -> Final Report • January 2010 to June 2010 Project Proposal Start Present Jun 2009 Dec 2008 Jun 2010 Dec 2009 Project Complete Pre-Phase Phase 1 Pre-Phase 3 Pre-Phase 2
