  1. Panel presentation WiVec, Sept 22, 2008, Calgary Vehicular Wireless Communication Technology: Who Pays? Susan Dickey, Ph. D Software Functional Manager California PATH/UC Berkeley dickey@path.berkeley.edu

  2. Presentation topics • Describe vehicular communication research history and challenges at California PATH (Partners for Advance Transit and Highways) • Present current VII (Vehicle Infrastructure Integration) California testbed and GEMS (Group-enabled Mobility and Safety) activities • Discuss challenges for funding initial DSRC/WAVE deployment and some application ideas • Note: Ideas are the author’s own and not necessarily those of her funding agencies.

  3. Safety & Mobility Challenges in California Safety 1 Million vehicle crashes each year 210,000 are injury-crashes, with 4,000 Fatalities About 25% of fatalities occur at intersections, another 25% are lane/roadway departures Total Cost: more than $25 Billion per year Mobility 560,000 hours of delay on average each day 30% of this delay is caused by incidents Total Cost: more than $21 Billion per year Caltrans Improves Mobility Across California

  4. Wireless Communications:a tool to meet these challenges • Research at California PATH has been investigating wireless communications, vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to roadside, for some time • Automated Highway Systems (1997-2003) • Active Safety Systems (2002-present) • Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems/Smart Intersections • Situational Awareness • VII California Testbed (2004-present) • Connected Traveler (2008-present)

  5. Vehicular Networking Prototypes Situational awareness (WiFi, 2004), blind spot/ lane assist, intersection assistant, neighboring vehicle map real-time R2V, V2R communications (Denso WAVE Radio Module, 2004), broadcast freeway exit info and signage, vehicle send speed and location

  6. California PATH Smart Intersection (2004-present) • Initially WiFi was used to deliver in-vehicle warnings and enable SV/POV/RSE communication for driver behavior research. • Kapsch-TraffiComIEEE 1609 capable MCNU has been installed (on pole at lower right of intersection)

  7. VII California Test Bed (2005 to Present) • 60 miles right of way • Denso and KapschRSE • Test bed applications: • Traveler information using 511 • Electronic payment and toll collection • Ramp metering • Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance • Curve Over-Speed warning • HA-NDGPS • Vehicle information and diagnostics • Public agency and auto industry partners.

  8. The “Connected Traveler” (2008): two projects to get results now • “Mobile Millennium” (CCIT) • Builds upon the success of the “Mobile Century” Experiment • Very much a “Private Sector” business model • Public Sector becomes just another consumer of the traffic data • “Group-Enabled Mobility and Safety” (GEMS) (PATH) • A “Gateway” connects the consumer mobile device in the vehicle to roadside infrastructure • The Gateway enables new transit services too • Several transit agencies are very interested in these services • The Public Sector seeks to be the catalyst in triggering Private Sector development

  9. Connected Traveler: Who is paying? • Public Partners: USDOT, Caltrans,Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA),San Mateo County Transit District (Samtrans) • Academic Partners:California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) • Private Partners: Nokia, NAVTEQ, Nissan Total Project Budget: $12.4 million • Federal Share: $2.9 million • Caltrans Share: $4.2 million • Nokia Share: $2.5 million • NAVTEQ Share: $2.0 million • UC Berkeley Share: $700 thousand • Nissan Share: $30 thousand

  10. Backhaul Bluetooth Wi-Fi DSRC GEMS: Multi-Network DSRC RSE GPS Handset Internet Server Gateway Wi-Fi RSE Ad-hoc Ad-hoc Gateway in other car

  11. GEMS:Multi-Device Browser based • www.connected-traveler.org/tellmeaboutmyroad • www.connected-traveler.org/bestroute • www.connected-traveler.org/sendprobedata

  12. GEMS Plans for the Next Year GEMS Services will be demonstrated at ITSA World Congress, November 16-20, 2008, New York City Field Evaluation Plans Underway • Safety: • Safety Advisories • Pedestrian Watch Out for Me • Mobility and ePayment • Bridge Tolling • Integrated Plan: Transit Diversion  Smart Parking  BART NFC Payment • South Bay • Valley Transportation Authority (CMA with HOT Lane Plans) • Stanford Area • Stanford Margeurite Shuttle • Surrounding Trip Generation Points

  13. Who is going to buy DSRC/WAVE? • Many soft safety/mobility applications can be done w/o high availability/low latency (DSRC/WAVE) communication . • Hard safety applications cannot be done until most vehicles have it. • No “rational consumer” will be an early adopter, (unless it is “trendy”?) • Will government pay? U.S. consumer spending on transportation is estimated at over 860 billion annually. ($7825 per household in 2002)

  14. The Trend to Ubiquitous Information Geo-enabled award recipients: Android Handset Developer Challenge Pebblebox allows the user to publish and discover local events, theater schedules, housing, restaurants Ecorio automatically tracks your mobile carbon footprint, suggests transit and carpooling alternatives. Piggyback is a real-time carpooling application for mobile phones. • cab4me enables you to easily order a cab to your current location with a single click, worldwide. • BreadCrumbz shows you real pictures of your route as you navigate • Pocket Journey is the mobile application for delivery of, and the marketplace for, high quality, location-specific multimedia.

  15. Using the 5.9 Ghz ITS DSRC band for transportation infrastructure applications A variety of special uses to bootstrap use of DSRC until there is a critical mass of equipped vehicles and RSE services. • DSRC for late-night traffic signal actuation (cheaper than loop detectors, a “carrot” for drivers to buy it) • Curve overspeed warnings and other special alerts for heavy vehicle fleets • Transit applications (no need for kiosks or central servers for arrival time or connection info) • Signal Phase and Timing broadcasts, as well as alerts and V2V communication, for public safety and emergency vehicle fleets. What else?
