2 Industry Trends and Drivers Safety focus In 2008, there were 5.8 million crashes, resulting in 37,000 fatalities and 2.3 million injuries 2 Crashes are the leading cause of death for ages 3 through 34 1 Growing congestion U.S. highway users waste 4.2 billion hours a year stuck in traffic nearly one full work week for every traveler 3 Congestion is crippling our major cities and even our small towns, at a cost of more than $78 billion a year 5 Growing environmental awareness The total amount of wasted fuel topped 2.8 billion gallons in 2007 three weeks' worth of gas for every traveler 3 FHA FY11 Budget estimates dedicating $6.4B or 15% to Environmental Stewardship 5 Increase in transportation/ ITS spending Stimulus authorizes $48B for a smarter transportation system 28 (of 191) companies reported over $1.7 billion in CY 2008 revenue attributable to ITS, a 17% increase from In FY 2009, FTA allocated more than $7 billion to cities, towns, regional governments and transit authourities 4 Globalization FHA FY11 Budget estimates dedicating $1.3B to Global Connectivity 5 Reduce barriers to trade and enable safe and efficient movement of passengers and cargo across international borders and improved travel time reliability on key networks. 1 NHTSA's National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Traffic Safety Facts: 2 NHTSA Traffic Safety Fact Sheet at: 3 Schrank, David and Lomax, Tim, 2009 Urban Mobility Report, Texas Transportation Institute, July The Intelligent Transportation Society of America, 2009 Market Data Analysis, Phase 1 White Paper 5 US DOT, Federal Highway Administration FY11 Budget Estimates

3 Technology Trends and Drivers Wireless Technology Boom 91% or 285 million Americans are wireless services subscribers Growth in Wireless technology and consumer adoption allowed for more and better information to be distributed to the users enabling them to make better transportation decisions. Fast pace of innovation From 2007 to 2008, overall patent application were static while ITS applications grew 17% 6 Due to continued investment and focus in the ITS industry, technology is becoming more widely adapted Ubiquitous connectivity As we reach ubiquitous connection between people, vehicles, roads, etc. information is not only readily available, but in high demand With the grow of data mining (Goggle or GPS positioning for example) focused information and advertising can be targeted to individual users Person-to-person networking Social Networking grew 60% from 2007 to With the introduction of smart phone applications, social networking, people can inform people how to move around more efficiently 6 The Intelligent Transportation Society of America, 2009 Market Data Analysis, Phase 1 White Paper 7 comscore Digital World-State of the Internet March 2008

4 H.R Smart Technologies for Communities Act 3/10/2011--Smart Technologies for Communities Act - Directs the Secretary of Transportation (DOT) to establish the Smart Communities Technology Initiative to provide grants to eligible entities to develop pilot programs to serve as model deployment sites for large scale installation and operation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to improve safety, efficiency, system performance, and return on investment.

9 SMARTER, DENSER 4G NETWORKS: THE INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE The wireline internet was never designed to support mobility and wireless services, where transport protocols function poorly because wireless links frequently fail, forcing retransmissions, and devices constantly change home addresses as they geographically roam across wireless subnets. 4G radio access and core networks are designed to manage these challenges, and will likely improve wireless network performance specifically higher quality of service, reduced latency, improved reliability, and enhanced capacity. 4G is a not just an industry quest for a faster radio technology. It is a remake of the entire cellular telecommunications system with the objective of extending the internet suite of protocols beyond the wired environment. 4G represents the complete transition of cellular from a system designed for the unique requirements of voice to a generalpurpose system that can manage a number of applications. In 1983, for example, mobile subscribers experienced voice throughput of about 10 kilobits per second (kbps). A decade ago, end-users could expect peak throughput of approximately 170 kbps with Second Generation (2G) technologies. 4G technologies are designed to meet, or at least approach, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) requirement that targets peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbps for high mobility access (e.g. outdoor access, with users moving at high speeds) and up to approximately 1 Gbps for low mobility or nomadic access (i.e. primarily indoor access, with terminal movement at a minimum). 2 The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) Connected Vehicle Insights Fourth Generation Wireless: Vehicle and Highway Gateways to the Cloud An evaluation of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and other wireless technologies impact to the transportation sector Steven H.

12 Public Safety and Transportation Converged Requirements

13 ITS Strategies for Public Safety Through this project, TSAG proposes to advance a national dialogue of ITS Strategies for Public Safety, and through such a dialogue, promote the identification of ITS technologies that address emergency response and emergency responder needs. Through a three tiered approach: 1. Identify best practices and model plans and programs for the deployment of proven and emerging technologies for incident response and management; and from findings 2. Pursue a knowledge transfer campaign to create a broad awareness of proven strategies, best practices, and model deployments; and finally, 3. Promote a nationally based ITS Strategies for Public Safety program and implementation guide.

15 Joint Council Why Create a new Joint Council? 2007 TCRP Transit Industry Survey Project J-06 Survey Objective To develop a profile of current radio-frequency and wirelessdata usage for the transit industry and to assess future needs. 765 agencies were queried (36% responded) Key conclusion: Need a strategic plan to address transit industry wireless communications TCRP Project C-18, Strategic Plan for Transit Industry Wireless Communications Completed in summer of 2009 with four strategic goals identified. Goal # 4: Establish Joint Council to implement strategic plan.
