  17. Mission of the University Transportation Centers Program Advance U.S. technology and expertise in the many disciplines comprising transportation through the mechanisms of education, research and technology transfer at university-based centers of excellence.

  18. Current University Transportation Centers • a. As provided for in SAFETEA-LU • b. 60 Centers involving 120 universities • i. 20 chosen by merit-based competitive selection • 1. 10 Regional UTCs • 2. 10 Tier I UTCs • ii. 40 named in legislation • 1. 10 National UTCs • 2. 22 Tier II UTCs • 3. 8 Title III UTCs • Title III UTCs do not have a matching fund requirement; • all others must have a 1-for-1 match

  19. Opportunities for the ITS JPO to Be Involved with the UTC Program • Facilitate, collaboratively with the UTC Program, an ongoing ITS “community of interest” of UTCs doing (or potentially interested in doing) ITS work • Participate in the UTC Directors Summer meeting (June 25, in San Jose this year) and Winter meeting (at TRB in January) • Share information regularly with UTC directors about ITS JPO priorities, directions, etc Use the UTC Program as a communication channel to inform UTC directors about ITS research opportunities outside of the UTC grant-sponsored work.

  20. Opportunities for the ITS JPO to Be Involved with the UTC Programcont’d. • Have someone serve as liaison to the UTC Program, as FHWA and FTA currently do  • Serve on UTC advisory committees and project selection committees • Review UTC strategic plans • Have UTC students serve as ITS interns • 8. Have UTC faculty work with the ITS JPO during Sabbatical leaves

  22. Research Development & TechnologyStrategic Plan Update Presented to the ITS-JPO Advisory Council March 13, 2008 Dr. Jan Brecht-Clark, RITA Associate Administrator for RD&T

  23. Overview • RD&T Purpose is to Coordinate and Leverage DOT’s Research, Development & Technology Investments – roughly $1B per year. • To Accomplish This Mission, RD&T has Undertaken Three Major Activities • Update DOT’s RD&T Strategic Plan to Set Long Term Investment Direction Across Modes • Develop & Implement the Research Planning, Investment & Control (RPIC) Process for these Activities • Develop & Deploy IT System to Support RPIC (R2NS)

  24. Strategic Plan Chronology • At RITA’s Inception, RD&T and RITA Planning Team created a RD&T Strategic Plan for the Department. • The 2006 Plan Presents • Cross-Cutting Views of Current DOT Activities • Areas for Intermodal Cooperation • RD&T & Planning Team are Updating Plan to Outline & Identify A Road Map to Address the Long Term, Strategic Goals & Objectives of DOT-Funded Research. Release Date: Summer 2008

  25. Safe, Less Congested Economically Competitive Energy Independent Environmentally Sustainable Secure Resilient 2008 Plan Vision & Strategies Transportation Vision 2030 Sets Direction for RD&T Activities so the Next Generation Will Have A System That Is: Using these 6 Strategies, RDT & the Planning Team have identified the challenges & activities needed to produce Vision 2030 outcomes.

  26. Congestion Mitigation Human Factors System Resilience/Global Logistics Position, Navigation & Timing Nanotechnology Enhanced Safety Data Transportation in an Aging Society Energy Efficiency/Alternative Fuels Strategic Collaboration To promote collaboration, RD&T and the Planning Team created the Intermodal Research Working Groups identified in 2006 Plan

  27. Strategic Collaboration RDT is working with the University Transportation Centers and FAA Centers of Excellence to foster collaboration among these DOT-funded researchers and with Intermodal Working Groups. RDT & National Transportation Libraries Will Be Working With Key External Stakeholders To Create Public Collaboration Sites Later This Year.

  33. SAFE TRIP-21 SAFE TRIP-21 ITS Advisory Committee Overview March 13, 2008 ITS Advisory Committee Overview March 13, 2008

  34. The Critical Need United States in 2006: 2.6 million traffic crashes 42,000 fatalities 2.6 million injuries $80 billion cost of urban traffic congestion* 4.2 billion hours of delay 2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel *Texas Transportation Institute, 2007

  35. SAFE TRIP-21 is a Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Program Initiative

  36. SAFE TRIP-21 Fills the Gap While DSRC Deployment Challenges are Addressed • Infrastructure installation cost and responsibility • Operational authority, capability and maintenance responsibilities • Governance and privacy issues • Sustainable financing and business model • Active crash avoidance applications require extensive DSRC coverage to warrant vehicle equipage

  37. SAFE TRIP Inspiration: SmartWay 2007 • SmartWay: Exhibition and operational test of second generation ITS in Japan • 1,650 Exhibition attendees; 35 media outlets • Ongoing Tokyo field test; 60 vehicles • Adds DSRC-enabled capabilities to existing ITS infrastructure: • 163 TMCs; 2,800 cameras; 180,000 traffic sensors; • Vehicle Information Communications System (VICS) with 33,000+ communications beacons; FM radio • Builds upon installed base of ITS users: • 21.6 Million ETC units; 71% of transactions overall • 28.3 Million navigation units; 19.6 Million VICS • Motivated by distinctive Japanese conditions • Complex street addressing and navigation • Expressways built to lesser “parkway” standards • Serious motor vehicle crash rate 5X U.S • Vehicle density 10X U.S.; congestion / limited parking • $5.60 / gallon fuel; ~$0.40 / mile expressway tolls • Decreased interest in automobile ownership / use among younger Japanese

  38. SAFE TRIP-21: Purpose and Objectives • Draw upon VII research and transition it into real-world use • Assess near-term possibilities that don’t require extensive infrastructure • Accelerate ITS benefits through “aftermarket” nomadic devices (quickly, cheaply) • Exploit existing communications technologies as pathways to DSRC • Validate public acceptance and benefits of integrated multi-modal deployment : • Safety • Mobility (Road / Transit Travel Information) • Commercial vehicle operations • Electronic Payment • Identify environmental / energy impacts • Provide feedback to VII program plans and basis for deployment decisions

  39. Near Term Trends and Opportunities Navigation Devices • Strong growth in GPS consumer electronics • ~ 10% of vehicles now equipped, growing • Emerging 2-way communication capabilities (cellular, WiFi) capabilities Mobile Phones • Nearly ubiquitous; data / messaging services • GPS / location based services: • Route planning • Parking location / availability • Real-time traffic and travel information • Bluetooth / Wi-Fi / E-payment capabilities Mobile Wi-Fi / WiMax on the horizon
