Michigan C/AV Test Facilities Transition from Research to Reality

Transcription

1 Michigan C/AV Test Facilities Transition from Research to Reality ITS Georgia Annual Meeting October 9, 2017

2 USDOT Connected Vehicle Program Standards developm ent Application concepts Securit y syst em s Research and analysis Pilot deploym ents

3 Pilot Deploym ents Still Dom inated by Federal Funding Three regional connected vehicle pilot program s underw ay: Ta m p a (TH EA) Pilot Wyom ing/icf Pilot New York City Pilot (*Many other State and Local deploym ents, including GDOT SPaT Challenge initiative)

4 Smart Columbus Initiative Extensive connected traffic signal syst em t o support enhanced bus rapid transit Electrified Autom ated Vehicle (EAV) t o serve as circulator for Easton com m ercial district Transit kiosks t o link com m unity to technology and ondem and services

5 History of C/AV in Michigan

6 CV Proof of Concept Test Began in 2007 in and around Novi, Michigan 50 equipped int ersect ions around suburban Detroit Validate Vehicleto-Infrastructure (V2I) concep t and initial architecture Still m aintained as a USDOT test bed resource

7 Safety Pilot Model Deploym ent 27 DSRC Roadside Unit s (RSUs) 3,0 0 0 equipped vehicles Served to validate V2V benefits and inform rulem aking p rocess

8 20 14 ITS W o r l d Con gress Downtown Detroit, Michigan Perm anent CV infrastructure est ab lish ed around downtown streets Tem porary infrastructure on Belle Isle to support technology sh ow case

9 Next Generation Began Transition from Federal Funding

10 Ann Arbor Connected Vehicle Test Environment Background Original site of the Safety Pilot Model Deploym ent 30 DSRC Roadside Unit (RSU) sit es, current ly expanding to 60 Nearly 2,0 0 0 equipped vehicles 50 % m atch to federal funding Federal funding expires i n 20 18

11 Michigan DOT Connected Corridor Program FARMINGTON HILLS / NOVI SOUTHFIELD DETROIT ANN ARBOR Connected Vehicle Environment Roadside Equipment Locations Smart Corridor Phase 1: Deployed

12 Mcity Testing track purpose-built for C/AV testing Developed by the University of Michigan Multiple sim ulated environments Designed for research and developm ent activities

13 THE QUESTION: How can testing and developm ent be transitioned from research to reality?

14 Mcity Model Mem bership fee (or in-kind contribution) for partner com panies Leadership Circle Mem bers: Pooled funding for m ulti-use environm ent/cooperative research Access t o Mcity test track (for fee) Currently insufficient to fund roadside infrastructure operation and maintenance Plus over three dozen affiliate m em bers including W SP

15 Ot her Business Mod els Consid ered Auto industry investment as an on-road test environm ent (extension to Mcity m odel) Public sector m odel: repurpose infrastructure for transit signal priority in order to m aintain it (with public transport funding) Turn-key approach No-cost lease of infrastructure to private operator Operator is allowed to collect all data over the system and determ ine how to monetize it (both to public agencies and private entities) Operator is responsible to m aintain the equipm ent and provide data to the University of Michigan

16 Automated Shuttles Source: University of Michigan

17 MDOT C/AV Strategic Plan Est ab lish ed vision, goals and ob ject ives for overall C/AV program Key Goals: Serve as a national m odel to catalyze C/AV deployment Accelerate C/AV benefits to users

18 Approach Includes Three Key Elements S upporting C ollaborative V 2I Application Development Accelerating Customer Benefits T hrough Mobile-B as ed V 2I Develop F oundational S ys tems to S upport V 2I! R egional Infrastructure Deployment P lan

19 MDOT Looking to Mobile for Near-Term Benefits Data Entry Portal for Construction Personnel! DVI Mobile Device DSRC Data Elements Including: Speed Lim it Lane and Ramp Closures W orkers Present Truck R estrictions Data Collection and Processing Message Developm ent Internet Cellular

20 Am erican Center for Mobility Federally-designated autom ated vehicle proving ground 330 -acre purpose-built C/AV test facility Built near Willow Run Airport, on the form er site of a critical World War II bomber plant Phase 1 opening in late i n c l u d es 3-m ile highway speed loop

21 Am erican Center for Mobility at Willow Run Range of com m unications technologies and safety/m onitoring syst em s Fut ure p h ases include urban, suburban, com m ercial and rural districts Wide range of t est ing scenarios, including Sm art Cities technologies, drones, etc.
