Intelligent Transportation Systems CONNECTED VEHICLES

Introduction

The era of Connected Vehicles is rapidly approaching, with development already underway on vehicles that provide the driver with vastly improved situational awareness of the transportation system.

Connected vehicles utilize wireless technology to allow vehicles to communicate with each other and with surrounding elements of the transportation infrastructure. For example, vehicles can communicate information about immediate driving conditions such as an impending potential collision with a stopped vehicle using a Forward Collision Warning system. Also, vehicles can obtain information about the infrastructure such as Curve Speed Warning or Pedestrian in Crosswalk Warning. In all these scenarios Connected Vehicles use a combination of a Dedicated Short Range Communication radio and cellular technology.

In the United States, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has nearly 60 different applications in various production and evaluation stages that could potentially improve mobility, safety and the environment. The USDOT is continuing their efforts on refining the concepts of operations for connected vehicles with a major pilot deployment phase occurring in 2015. And in February 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced their intent to move forward with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications – a precursor to a federal mandate.

As these sorts of developments evolve, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will need to be refined to fully leverage and support this changing technological landscape. However, infrastructure and funding constraints, business models and institutional issues continue to hinder progress. Jacobs is well placed to respond to these challenges, with more than 60 years’ experience in transport engineering services, and leading capabilities and industry knowledge in the rapidly developing Connected Vehicles sector. Our ITS team numbers some 100 professionals in more than 17 offices around the world, and at least 20 of these are recognized “industry experts”. We’re ready to help you with your next Connected Vehicle project.

Example Projects

Client: Metropolitan Transportation Commission (California Bay Area)

Summary: We are assisting MTC in the development of a long range initiative to address the advent of connected vehicles in the region. This includes assisting MTC in the development of a concept of operations and proposal for the anticipated USDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot procurement RFP to be released in January 2015. Tasks include identification of regional transportation needs that could be addressed by a connected vehicle deployment, refinement of initial scenario concepts, interviewing connected vehicle vendors, conducting stakeholder workshops, creation of an initial concept of operations and writing MTC’s portion of the California proposal. Client: Colorado Department of Transportation (Colorado)

Summary: We are providing lead consultant support to Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on the creation of a Statewide Connected Vehicle Program. The initial focus of the project is to assist and support CDOT and its stakeholders in the pursuit of the upcoming USDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot Program. The development of the Colorado Connected Vehicle Program requires research on the state of the industry, interview CVP product and service providers, determination of possible pilot locations, developing pilot needs matrix, production of a concept of operations and the production of the USDOT RFP response. Post selection we will assist, support and oversee the implementation of the selected Pilot Program.

Client: VicRoads (Victoria, Australia)

Summary: Jacobs was engaged to develop ITS infrastructure concept requirements from VicRoads. FRAME Reference Architecture was used through a process of workshops to define the set of user needs and functions the freeway systems are required to address. The Co-Operative ITS scope included specification of the application server and communications infrastructure functional requirements. Applicable standards and specifications for the Freeway Management System were identified through a review of leading industry documentation.

Client: AustRoads (Australia)

Summary: Jacobs conducted a review of the National Co-Operative ITS Concept of Operations for AustRoads, as well as analysis and planning for the necessary organizational framework and governance for its deployment.
