Stan Caldwell, Executive Director
Why Now and Why Pennsylvania?
Why NowRevolutionary Time (not only) in Transportation
Through Disruptive Technology
• Internet of Things
• Big Data
• Information and Communications Technology
• Cyber Physical Systems
Why Pennsylvania
• Progressive leadership at PennDOT and Turnpike (SITC)
• Bi-partisan and Bi-cameral Legislative Support• Support from the Governor and Multiple
Departments • Forward Thinking MPOs and Municipalities • Growing Industry Cluster • Cutting Edge University Research• Long Term Transportation Funding
Traffic21’s approach is…
• Research
• Development
• Deployment through partnerships

Pennsylvania Connected Vehicle Testbeds
• Pittsburgh’s East End, is a USDOT Affiliated Test Bed for connected vehicle technology.
• Additional connected vehicle infrastructure in Cranberry Township, Ross Township and Harrisburg.
• Three Major USDOT Pilots: New York City, Tampa FL and Wyoming. Continuing testbedin Southeast Michigan.
• Ensuring Interoperability– Finalizing communication standards– Managing congestion and available spectrum– Detecting “bad actors” (misbehavior) and limiting impacts of
anomalous messages
• Ensuring security of messaging (authenticity, trust) between vehicles…and between vehicles and infrastructure
• Protecting Privacy
• Efficient data delivery system (to support necessary V2I and I2V communications)
CV Technical Challenges
• Issue a regulatory proposal within this Administration
• Intend to require an onboard DSRC-based V2V communications technology
• Potential to address 80% of crashes involving non-impaired drivers!

The Integration of the Shared Economy with
Connected Automaton• Last Mile• On Demand Transit • Modal Shift • Carless and Car-free Lifestyle
• Exogenous: The complexity & uncertainty of the real world– Weather, lighting, and road conditions; construction; accidents; obsolete
information, loss of GPS.
• Endogenous: Online and safe recovery from failures of sensors, actuators, computing or communications.– Sensors and actuators
• Calibration, wear and tear, outright failure.
• Assurance: How to verify and validate safety & correctness?
• Interactions: Vehicular Networks– communicate securely and coordinate carefully
• Reliability– cost and maintenance, customer acceptance
• Incremental deployment– Semi-autonomy on-demand autonomy full autonomy
• Legal implications

Connected & Autonomous Vehicles – 2040 Vision
• Infrastructure investment and design
• Communication devices / real time data use
• Driver licensing
• Workforce training needs
• Freight movement
Proposed PennDOT Actions for 2040 Vision
• Evaluate planned capacity enhancements.
• Collaborate with private sector to convert data into information.
• Begin deployment of V2I applications at key locations.
• Reconfigure and repurpose lanes.
• Dedicate highway lanes to autonomous vehicle use.
Pennsylvania Autonomous Vehicle Policy Task Force
• Pending Legislation for Autonomous Vehicle Testing
• Policy vs regulation
• Balance of Safety and Innovation
Continued Pennsylvania Testbed Activity
• Multi State Smart Mobility Collaborative
• Metro21
• The National Metro Lab Net
