1 1 Interoperability & IntelliDrive SM regarding Radio Transmission & Tolling ITS Texas November 2010 National Issues Session

2 Agenda 2 Radio Over-the-Air Communications 1.Why Interoperability...and Open Standards? 2. Issues & Desired states 3.Radio Technologies in Transportation Activities 4.Interoperability and Current Activities (ATI, IBTTA & OmniAir) 5.IntelliDrive Initiatives 6.How do we get there?

3 Why Interoperability... & Open Standards? 3 The vendors' products compete on the quality of their implementation, user interface, ease of use, performance, price, and a host of other factors, while keeping the customers data intact and transferable even if he chooses to switch to another competing product for business and technology reasons. Path: Open Standards & Requirements Testing Procedures & Policies Certification of Conformance Certification of Interoperability Approved Supplier Lists & Interchangeability

4 Issues & Desired States 4 Radio Communications for Transportation Applications Tolling: Five Multiple UHF RFID Protocols & Large Installed Investments (regional) Single Transponder Type or Multiple Protocol Reader (MPR) Vehicle Mileage Traveled (VMT) where Fuel Tax broken Tax or Toll Charge or Tax, Privacy, GPS involvement Urban Congestion Road Pricing (UCRP) Limit Car Use & Promote Transit

5 Issues & Desired States 5 Radio Communications for Transportation Applications (continued) Road Efficiency through IntelliDrive Multiple Types includes Cellular (SmartPhones), WiMax/LTE, BlueTooth, RFID Probes & etc. Vehicle Registration Inspection (VRI): Barcode UHF RFID ( C) Parking: RFID & Manual Varies Vehicle Safety & Data Rich Application Environment 5.9 GHz DSRC being developed & piloted through IntelliDrive.

6 Technologies Used Today MHz UHF RFID (Tolling) Both Proprietary & Open Standards EasyPass ISO (ATA) ISO B (ego, ego Plus, SeGo) Title 21 (T-21) ISO C 5.9 GHz DSRC Others involved Cellular 3G & 4G LTE/WiMax, GPS, BlueTooth and etc.

7 Current State of Toll Technology 7 No consensus on interoperable, open standard RFID toll technology and other applications in North America No fundamental agreement on go-forward RFID standard Regional / State reader and tag solutions based on various legacy proprietary and open standard technologies Number of transponders economically and operationally prohibit a wholesale replacement Lack of information regarding emerging RFID technologies inhibits transition decisions.

8 Industry Interoperability Promotion ATI, IBTTA & OmniAir jointly addressing IOP Alliance for Tolling Interoperability (ATI) consisting of public agencies addressing license plate scanning, general data base & state-to-state enforcement / reciprocity. IBTTA formed five committees 2010: Tag & Reader License Plate Recognition/Violation Enforcement Transaction Settlement Business Case Operations (includes certification testing) OmniAir addressing certification testing & back office processing standard for UHF RFID MPR and 5.9GHz DSRC (IntelliDrive) IBTTA Interoperability means IBTTA Interoperability means toll customers may pay for travel and related services across jurisdictions with a single account and a choice of payment methods

9 IntelliDrive SM Initiatives IntelliDrive SM Federal US DoT Initiative to improve surface transportation for Safety, Mobility & Environment, Urban & Rural Highways, Roads & Streets Accelerating Vehicle Technology Vehicle (OBU), Roadside Infrastructure (RSU) & Local Standardized Networks Security & Privacy Real-Time Data Capture & Data Management Data Rich Dynamic Mobility Applications Various Over-the-Air Communication Sources 5.9 GHz DSRC Vehicle Safety (Latency & Data Throughput) and can be applied to others. Tolling, VMT, UCRP, VRI & Parking TBD

10 IntelliDrive SM Activities Industry workshops over summer regarding System- Level, Safety and Public Application lnputs System Engineering Testbed (Michigan) Vehicle Integration & Interoperability (VSC3) with Automotive OEMs. Infrastructure Deployment Scenarios (AASHTO) Multiple Here I Am Device Providers Device Conformance Certification Pilot (OmniAir) Large Safety Pilot (Focus on 5.9 GHz DSRC & Testing (to be announced)

11 How Do We Get There? 11 Industry decision Interoperable or not? Industry education on emerging RFID technologies Define the open standard RFID technology options per application & perform industry controlled/standardized pilot testing Select interoperable RFID technology standard and develop transition plan Intermediate Transition Plan Multiprotocol readers which can communicate with different regional transponders during transition phase Execute a planned, phased replacement to multi-protocol readers Introduce the interoperable and open standard RFID technology
