INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) was established in 1991 as a not-for-profit organization to foster the use of advanced technologies in surface transportation systems. We are the leading advocate for technologies that improve the safety, security and efficiency of the nation's surface transportation system. The formation of ITS America was motivated by the recognition that while numerous existing organizations were actively involved in transportation issues, no single organization existed to focus exclusive attention on emerging technologies. Our members include private corporations, public agencies, and academic institutions involved in the research, development and design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies that enhance safety, increase mobility, and sustain the environment.

The myriad issues associated with creative financing of the surface transportation system have dramatically different impacts on trucks than on cars. In some cases such as congestion pricing, the ultimate outcome may generate negative and unintended consequences, including diversion to less safe roadways. This panel will discuss the unique economic and technology issues that the trucking industry faces, with an emphasis on truck-specific road financing issues.

Tuesday, June 2 10:00AM – 11:30AM There is a new movement underway to maximize infrastructure and minimize congestion. From a trucking perspective, a leading solution may be to increase the size and weight of trucks beyond the legal limits that exist today. While productivity would likely improve, secondary issues of safety and pavement damage must be further assessed. Technology solutions that monitor and assess vehicle designs, pavement damage and “higher productivity vehicle” road-pricing will be reviewed and discussed. The new U.S. DOTsponsored I-70 Truck Only Lanes project will be highlighted as one approach to the issue. Moderator: To be Determined

■ SS09: U.S. Department of Transportation Integrated Vehicle Based Safety System (IVBSS) Initiative

■ SS15: Intelligent Transportation Applications to Driver Wellness and Well-being

Monday, June 1 3:30PM – 5:00PM

Tuesday, June 2 8:00AM – 9:30AM

This session provides an update on the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) Program, a U.S. Department of Transportation vehicle safety initiative to build and field test integrated crash warning systems designed to prevent rear-end, lane change, and roadway departure collisions for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks. This initiative is the first attempt to integrate and test systems that address these three crash types, including crashes involving multiple threats. In November 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation entered into a cooperative research agreement with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute to carry out the IVBSS program. Following successful completion of tests to verify the functionality and performance of the prototype system designs, Phase II was approved in April of 2008. Extended pilot testing was conducted prior to the start of the full-scale field operational tests that began in the first quarter of 2009. This session’s presentations will include a program overview and status report, discussion of results from the extended pilot tests, an overview of the field operational tests, data collection and anticipated analyses and the U.S. DOT’s independent evaluation of the field test.

While considerable focus has been placed on the convergence of vehicle and infrastructure information, less consideration has been placed on what information might be provided about the individual driver, their performance and interaction with the vehicle, infrastructure and traffic. Drivers across the U.S. have reported less ‘happiness’ and satisfaction with driving— along side fatigue, distraction, anger, etc., “driver stress” is emerging as the new impairment. Similarly, as the population ages, chronic disease management will become a greater issue for driver performance—combinations of medical conditions, medication uses as well as physiological changes behind the wheel in response to highway conditions will be greater factors in both individual and system performance and safety. MIT, in collaboration with the U.S. DOT, and industry researchers, has been developing the concept of driver wellness and well-being. How does driver physical and mental well-being affect driver performance? How might information be collected about individual driver and optimally used to improve their performance as well as traffic safety/system performance? How might the integration of the individual driver’s well-being be integrated into an intelligent transportation systems architecture to improve individual and system safety as well as performance?

■ SS32: Rural ITS Spotlight

■ SS38: Next Generation 9-1-1

Tuesday, June 2 2:30PM – 4:00PM

Tuesday, June 2 4:30PM – 6:00PM

Whether characterized as “rural” or “non-urban” or making the distinction between “rural” and “frontier”, transportation professionals operating and maintaining ITS in areas or communities with fewer than 50,000 residents have unique needs, particularly during winter months. Ironically, those with the mind to “get away from it all” are those who have the greatest need for advanced ITS operations and maintenance protocols for wireless communication, crash avoidance sensors, real-time weather and road condition warning systems, and incident response. This session will focus on rural winter and technology application best practices and how technology and road-weather operations might be changing how we operate TMCs in the future to include operations and maintenance.

The U.S. Department of Transportation core vision for NG9-1-1 is to provide a foundation for public emergency services in an increasingly mobile and techno-diverse population. From its recent successful Proof of Concept testing, NG9-1-1 is now positioned to transition to the National E9-1-1 Implementation Coordination Office (National 9-1-1 Office) for next-steps E9-1-1 implementation. This session will review the migration of current 9-1-1 systems to E9-1-1 systems that accommodate emergency communications to receive text, images and video from any networked communications device.

■ Virginia MegaProjects Bus Tour

■ Woodrow Wilson Bridge Boat Tour

Tuesday, June 2 12:30PM – 2:00PM

Wednesday, June 3 8:30AM – 10:30AM

The Virginia Department of Transportation is taking on a number of major construction projects called the MegaProjects. These projects will improve multiple modes of transportation like highway, rail, transit, ridesharing and new highway networks for carpools and buses called high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. These lanes will continue to allow high occupancy vehicles and motorcycles to travel in them free. During construction, the MegaProjects will utilize ITS technology to mitigate work zone congestions. Technology such as variable speed limit system, CCTV, detection, and portable changeable message signs will be implemented.

The Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project is reconstructing and expanding a crossing that has impeded regional travel for decades. The new twin structures, which cross the Potomac River just south of Washington, D.C. and link Oxon Hill, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia, add two more lanes in both directions to the Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495) and separate traffic into local and “thru” lanes. The first new bridge has been carrying traffic since 2006, and the second span opened last year. Under construction since late 2000, the $2.5-billion program has remained on schedule and on budget.

■ Montgomery County Public Safety Communications Center (PSCC) Tuesday, June 2 1:00PM – 4:00PM Montgomery County’s Public Safety Communications Center (PSCC) is a multiagency and multi-departmental operations facility. This facility has co-located 911 (PSAP) call taking, Police Department and Fire & Rescue Department dispatch, emergency management group / emergency operations center (EOC), and the transportation management center (TMC) which includes traffic and transit operations. The facility serves as a designated back-up to the state’s emergency operation center, as well as a backup to the national ChemTrec 24-hour HAZMAT Communications Center. The PSAP is responsible for receiving all 911 phone calls—approximately one million per year—placed in Montgomery County as well as the dispatching of all Police and Fire & Rescue field units. The TMC manages the dayto-day operations of more than 800 traffic signals located along more than 400 miles of signalized arterial highways. Montgomery County’s transit system is managed in the TMC also, including computer aided dispatch (CAD) and automated vehicle locating (AVL) on all buses. The TMC shares surveillance conducted using more than 190 closed circuit television cameras (CCTVs) with nearly 240 planned. The county provides aerial surveillance during weekday commuting periods, and coordination and communication with the Montgomery County Police and Fire / EMS Departments to support incident management efforts throughout the county. The EOC activates during local or regional emergencies. This facility coordinates the efforts of multiple departments and jurisdictions in the event of emergencies. The PSCC has a wide, varied and unique assemblage of operations centers not typically all co-located in the same facility.

22

Operators in the center use real-time video, new ATMS software, communication devices, and field equipment that total more than 5,000 pieces of equipment to monitor congestion, manage incidents, plan traffic efforts, and respond to emergencies. Operators also provide valuable information to the general public via VDOT’s statewide 511 Traveler Information system. MPSTOC served as the command center for the Commonwealth of Virginia’s regional traffic management and incident response plan for the recent presidential inauguration.

■ Potomac Consolidated TRACON Wednesday, June 3 10:00AM – 2:00PM

The project has involved much more than replacing a bridge: it has rebuilt almost 12 percent of the Capital Beltway and is reconstructing four interchanges in its 7.5 mile corridor. Reducing delays from gridlock will save commuters countless hours, speed truck commerce, and spur local economic growth. A high-tech marvel, the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge features eight massive bascule leaves, each with a deck encompassing at least 11,800 square feet. The beautiful structures, with their post-tensioned concrete V-piers, will be the highlight of this approximately onehour boat tour.

Potomac TRACON provides radar air traffic control services and is the radar facility serving the Washington, DC metropolitan area. TRACON handles departing and approaching aircraft within its space. Potomac TRACON manages airspace over 23,000 square miles covering five states and provides air traffic control services to 124 public airports. A TRACON is an air traffic control facility usually located within the vicinity of a large airport. Typically, the TRACON controls aircraft within a 30-50 nautical mile radius of the airport between the surface and 10,000 to 15,000 feet.

■ McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center

■ Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission Transit Operations Center

Wednesday, June 3 9:00AM – 12:00PM The McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center (MPSTOC), an approximately 147,000 square-foot facility, is a partnership between Fairfax County and the Commonwealth of Virginia that brings multiple public safety, transportation and emergency management agencies and functions together under one roof. The mission of this partnership is to enhance the effectiveness of public safety response, improve traffic congestion management, and better manage the response to and recovery from major emergencies. This state-of-the-art center has a 12,000 square foot operations communications floor that houses the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) northern region transportation operations center (TOC), Virginia State Police Division 7 call takers and dispatchers, and Fairfax County’s Department of Public Safety Communications (Fairfax 9-1-1 Center scheduled to go live July 2009). It also houses a 3,600 square foot Emergency Management Center overseen by Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management. VDOT’s TOC is a high-tech command hub managing some of the nation’s busiest roadways.
