� After-thoughts on ramping up research outcomes
� Test – How Story develops in the next news release
Preamble - Origins, Goals
Origins of Connected Vehicle idea
� US Department of Transportation program to develop and deploy a fully connected transportation system
� enable data exchange among vehicles, infrastructure, and mobile devices
Goals
Page 3
Goals
� The data obtained from Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) in conjunction with in-vehicle equipment
� will process data and issue warning and advisory messages
� Is perceived to save lives, time and the environment.
The “Connection” Vision – Enabler

What can it do? What will it do, reliably,
and with institutional fit?
Goals of Connected Vehicle University Research
Program (CVURP) – A work in progress
� Public/private/university partnership to identify
requirements, develop opportunities
� Capacity in Ontario industry - jobs
� Leverage Connected Vehicle to
� Increase accuracy and timeliness of information on
Page 5
� Increase accuracy and timeliness of information on
traffic and road conditions
� Improve coverage of network – at moderate cost
� Identify elements of next generation traffic
management
� top-down (greater “coherence”) or bottom-up (greater
“relevance”)
CVURP - 1 - University of Waterloo
� Prediction of Traffic Conditions and Travel Time
� Prediction of freeway conditions using roadside measurements. Guidelines for Optimal Spacing of Bluetooth sensors, Assessment of floating car input to prediction
� VALUE: Proactive options for Traffic Managers,
Page 6
� VALUE: Proactive options for Traffic Managers, Travellers; Partial Substitution of Bluetooth and probe technology for more expensive infrastructure
� Final Report – September 2013
CVURP - 2 - University of Waterloo
� Decision Support System for Optimal Selection of Traffic Data Acquisition Systems
� Analysis of Technology Evaluation Studies; Development of Decision Support Tool; Demonstration of tool.
� VALUE: Overcome limitations of fixed point sensors
Page 7
� VALUE: Overcome limitations of fixed point sensors by use of probe/connected vehicles; Overcome inaccuracies from interpolation between fixed points; Avoid some of high costs of sensors and supporting infrastructure
� Final Report and Presentation – September 2013

� Completed: Draft proposal being circulated to industrial partners
CVURP - 8 - Ryerson University
�Covered in next presentation

After-thoughts on ramping up research
outcomes (some arising from HIIF ITS)
� Proposals and reports need to be intelligible – explain blocks of
analysis in English
� Mindful reading – e.g. need to look behind notion “studies show”.
� Operational measures antidote to “high B/C industry”
� Physical (fractional-scale) simulation, a luxury now being
contemplated, better than keeping it all in the computer
Page 14
contemplated, better than keeping it all in the computer
� Add fault-trees and fault-proofing to capability-trees. What about
reliability under winter conditions, corrosion, security against
hackers, consequences of rare disruptions?. What about
institutional take-up, regulations, transportation planning, the transit-
car discussion ?
Onward and Upward!
