• Develop and assess applications showing potential to improve nature, accuracy, precision and/or speed of dynamic decision making by system managers and system users
• Demonstrate promising applications predicted to significantly improve capability of transportation system to provide safe, reliable, and secure movement of goods and people
11
Leverage Multi-Source Data
• Leverage high-quality data integrated from mobile and fixed sources to develop multiple applications (mode-specific and multi-modal)
• Requires coordination with Real-Time Data Capture and Management program

Projected Outcomes
• Multiple applications developed leveraging multi-source data• Research spurs commercialization• Applications enable transformational change
16
Stakeholder Participation
• Provide feedback on program direction, goals, data environment, mobility applications
• Respond to upcoming funded requests for research and development of mobility applications
• Seek to leverage IntelliDrive data and applications resources in other non-federal or non-IntelliDrive federally funded research projects
• Offer new data sets and applications• Actively commercialize mobility applications developed within the
IntelliDrive program
17
Mobility Applications Template
USDOT DMA Near-term Program Objective:• Assess applications that realize the full potential of connected
vehicles, travelers and infrastructure to enhance current operational practices and transform future surface transportation systems management
• Develop applications that transform mobility by providing transportation managers and systems operators with real-time monitoring and management tools to manage mobility between and across modes more effectively, and travelers the ability for dynamic decision making
• Inviting stakeholders to submit ideas for transformative applications that show the potential to improve system performance and the nature, accuracy, precision and/or speed of dynamic decision making by both system managers and system users
18
Mobility Applications Template
Purpose• Provide a consistent method for gathering &
assembling potential ideas, uses & applications of IntelliDriveSM primarily for mobility purposes– Other programs are actively pursuing applications
primarily focused on the safety applications of IntelliDriveSM.
– Seeking innovative or transformative ideas that use IntelliDriveSM to help transportation systems perform better or allow operators or travelers make better decisions.
19
Mobility Applications Template
Not necessarily starting with a clean slate, but with a fresh look
• VII Use Cases & Applications– Earlier Vehicle Infrastructure Integration efforts
for the Proof-of-Concept testing included development of use cases
– “Day-One” (i.e., near-term, low penetration of devices) applications identified
20
21
VII’s wide array of “Day 1” applications• Traveler Information
– Travel times, incident alerts, road closures, work zones
• In Vehicle Signage – Local signage (school zones, stop
signs)– Highway next-exit services
• Navigation– Off-board navigation– Reroute information
• Traffic Management– Ramp metering– Signal timing optimization– Corridor management planning
assistance– Corridor management load balancing
• Weather Information– Surface conditions, surface
treatment status, visibility, etc.– Improved weather observing
• Safety– Traffic signal violation warning– Stop-sign violation warning– Emergency electronic brake
light– Curve speed warning
• Electronic Payment – Parking – Toll roads
Note: Transit, Trucking, and Planning were to be added

Mobility Applications Template
What it’s not – The Template is not:• Not a request for proposals
• Not a solicitation for projects
• Not a “Challenge” opportunity– No funding or other support offered
22
Mobility Applications Template
What it is• An opportunity to help shape the IntelliDriveSM
Dynamic Mobility Applications Program• A way to share your thoughts & ideas of innovative
uses of IntelliDriveSM to improve mobility– Systems performance, better decision-making, etc.
• A request from U.S. DOT for stakeholder help from all sources – public, private, academic … for all modes – highway, transit, freight, non-motorized…– Not doing what we do today better, but doing things
differently because of the availability of IntelliDriveSM
