This project aims to survey and assess the current deployment of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) applications in surface transportation modes such as rail, highway, and maritime in the APEC region. The goal is to improve safety, security, and efficiency of surface transportation and promote trade throughout APEC economies.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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
