For the Mobile Professional …
• Recent implementations have resulted in:– 17% reduction in fleet mileage – 20% improvement in mobile workforce efficiency – 7% reduction in fleet size– Ability to deliver in one hour customer time windows

The Future for Real-time data will be…
• The Advances in Autonomous Vehicle Control– Much of it fueled by the DARPA Grand Challenges ’04, ‘05, ’07– Continued on by researchers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers
• Lane departure warning and lane keeping• Frontal collision warning and avoidance• Many individual autonomous vehicle initiatives
– Princeton: Prospect 12 … objective to pass NJ DMV driver’s test– Italians– Germans– VT, CMU, Stanford, …– Google
• All with the objective of placing sufficient intelligence in a vehicle so that it can operate safely and efficiently on existing street mixed in with human operated vehicle

It is Clear…• We aren’t very good drivers• We prefer to – text, talk, drink, sleep, daydream, rather than drive
• Driving is boring, an insult to our intelligence!• Once upon a time…– I shifted gears, controlled my cruise speed with my foot
and closely planned my every turn• Hopefully…– I’ll no longer have to steer, brake, or pay attention.
• Chances are: People will gladly pay for such service
![Page 16: Real-Time Travel Information in Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Past Present & Future](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815eb8550346895dcd3d78/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If I don’t have to drive…• Why should I own???• If I pay enough…– One will show up at my front door and properly
deploy itself at my destination.• If demand is too high…– I can walk to a nearby autonomous taxi stand and
contribute to ridesharing.

To serve New Jersey’s• ~30 million daily trips, I need…– NJ Transit rail and express bus operation to continue
operation– ~10,000 off-street Autonomous Taxi locations– <1,000,000 autonomous vehicles• (3.71 registered automobiles in NJ (2009)
– All operating on existing streets • that could continue to be used for goods movement,
emergency management, bicyclists, walkers.
