CREATING A ROADMAP
TO THE FUTURE OF
TRANSPORTATION

DISRUPTIVE FORCES AT WORK
We’re on the cusp of a
transformation in
transportation, driven by
advances in vehicle
connectivity, automation,
electrification, and sharing.
The changes will be
disruptive.
DISRUPTION POSES
CHALLENGES
TECHNICAL
CHALLENGES
▪ Interoperability and standards
▪ Implementation and support of
specific applications &
technologies
▪ Data management
▪ Data privacy
▪ Communications and network
management
▪ Security management
▪ Local network security
▪ Technical obsolescence
1. Funding. Shortfalls impact the operational
capabilities.
2. Education & workforce considerations.
Lack of staff with necessary technical skills.
3. Business case. Lack of benefit and cost
information to support investment decisions.
4. Data ownership. How to access it, who owns it,
how do they support it?
5. Liability. What’s the risk and how does it get
allocated?
6. Forces outside their control. Changing
technologies and political climate leave public
agencies feeling uncertain.
INSTITUTIONAL
CHALLENGES
▪ Education & workforce considerations.
New skills needed in data analytics, IT, application
support, software and new algorithms
▪ Data management. Big data from connected
vehicles will challenge operational staff – a blessing
in disguise
▪ Keeping up with advances. The operations
environment will continue to evolve at a rapid pace
▪ New partnerships and business models. Public
and private
▪ Giving up control. Greater automation of public
agency functions, greater empowerment of
travelers, and impacts of connected automation

THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
▪ Updated USDOT Policy released Sept. 12, 2017
▪ SELF DRIVE Act passed by the House
▪ USDOT AV Proving Ground designations
▪ Industry driving momentum
▪ Dynamic mobility ecosystem
CONNECTED VEHICLES
THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
▪ Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on
December 12, 2016
▪ Final rule on V2V pending▪ Moving slowly
▪ Spectrum challenge
▪ Privacy and security challenges
▪ Progress on 5G M2M solutions
▪ Automakers mixed
▪ Government stimulus for V2I ▪ Connected vehicle pilot deployment
program
▪ Smart City Challenge
▪ FAST Act fundingSource: Florida DOT
▪ Electrification Infrastructure – a
constraining factor
– Range anxiety and charging
stations
– Need for wireless induction in an
automated vehicle environment
– Grid modernization to support
increase in electric vehicles
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
▪ Phenomenal growth in TNCs,
sharing economy, app development
▪ Auto companies getting into the
game
– Maven
– Ford Smart Mobility
▪ Buy rides, not cars
▪ Infrastructure to support shared
mobility solutions – mobility hubs
▪ Intermodal information and
integrated payment systems
SHARED USE VEHICLES & THE SHARING ECONOMY
THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
OPPORTUNITY REQUIRES
PLANNING
▪ Understand the
environment
▪ Engage stakeholders
▪ Assess needs
▪ Collaborate with
industry
▪ Enlist partners
▪ Establish an
organizational
framework
▪ Develop a plan
▪ Execute the plan
▪ Succeed
BUILDING A ROADMAP
• Near Term Implications
• TSM&O is still a “Go”
• Leverage current tools
• Leverage partnerships
• WAZE, INRIX
• All modes, all roads approach
• Regional managed lanes
• ICM and ATM
• Performance-driven processes
• Applying All Your Tools for Greater Safety
and Efficiency
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
• Lay the Foundation
• Expand communications
infrastructure and establish
partnerships for 5G capabilities
• Strengthen data management
capabilities (collect, transmit,
store, aggregate, analyze,
disseminate, report)
• Strengthen technical capabilities
of staff and workforce
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
▪ Medium Term Implications
• Identify pilot projects
• Seek funding and investment
• Leverage partnerships to support
new mobility solutions
• Deploy pilot projects
• Leverage lessons from other
programs
• Engage partners
• Create pilot concept
• Implement
• Evaluate
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
▪ Long Term Implications
– Implement emerging mobility
solutions based on needs
▪ Urban use cases
▪ Highway use cases
▪ Rural use cases
▪ Intermodal solutions
▪ Integrated payment solutions
– Automation of public sector
functions
▪ Video analytics
▪ Artificial intelligence
▪ Predictive analytics
– Greater privatization of operations
functions
▪ Traveler information services
▪ Data management
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
PLANNING STARTS WITH A
VISION
▪ The Automated Highway
– Integrating automation into
design and operations
– Automated control functions
(signs, signals, lane controls,
barriers)
– Automated payment systems
THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
Up, down, and all around.
Flying cars, “mobile homes”
and riding in tubes
at the speed of sound
THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
GAME CH
AN
GE
R▪ This will be a game-changer for transportation
▪ Integration of ACES into the existing transportation
environment will be challenging and disruptive to current
paradigms
▪ Engineering and operational concepts, performance
measures, algorithms, the transportation workforce,
design standards, traffic control systems, and policies will
be transformed
The book must be rewritten.
We need to get in front of it!
