2 The Future of Transportation ACES Automated, Connected, Electric, and Shared

3 The Future of Transportation ACES transportation will be safer, smarter, cleaner, less congested, and with better access for all

4 The Future of Transportation The mix of sharing, electric, and driverless cars could disrupt everything from parking to insurance, oil demand and retail. Professor Tony Seba Stanford University

5 The ACES Northwest Network is a unique collective working to bring Automated, Connected, Electric, and Shared vehicle technologies to the Puget Sound region.

6 City of Bellevue Intelligent Transportation Strategy Goals Goal: Make Bellevue a global leader in every element of ACES Vehicle Connectivity Car Sharing, Ride Sharing, Ride Pooling Electrify the Vehicle Infrastructure Prepare for and embrace autonomous vehicles and autonomous transit Make Bellevue a global leader in every element of ACES. Enable people who live, work and/or play in Bellevue to travel where, when how they want in a safe, efficient, inexpensive and reliable manner. Use new and emerging technologies to solve transportation problems of today and tomorrow. Make Bellevue less congested, safer, cleaner, and more attractive to business than ever before. 6

7 The National Landscape NHTSA Statement Automated vehicle safety technologies signal the next revolution in roadway safety. We see great potential in these technologies to save lives more than 30,000 people die on our roads every year and we can tie 94 percent of crashes to human choice transform personal mobility and open doors to communities that today have limited mobility options. The DOT Federal Automated Vehicles Policy sets the voluntary framework for the safe and rapid deployment of these advanced technologies. 7

8 The National Landscape In the Fall of 2016 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued guidance to states on AV s & January, 2017 NHTSA issued a proposed rule mandating all new light vehicles be equipped with standardized vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Meanwhile, the American Society of Civil Engineers awarded the U.S. a D+ grade in its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card the same grade given since Estimates it will require a minimum of $4.6 Trillion to bring the system to a level of adequate.

16 Truck Platooning German automaker Daimler AG s trucks division said it would test on U.S. roads a new technology called platooning, which allows large digitally-connected trucks to save fuel by driving close to each other in a row. Portland, Oregon-based Daimler Trucks North America LLC said on Monday it received permission from the regional regulatory body, Oregon Department of Transportation, after successful trials in its proving ground in Madras, Oregon.

23 Autonomous and Electric Drayage Zero-Emission Electric Drayage Trucks Coming to California California's South Coast Air Quality Management District, which includes the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, announced that it would receive $23.6 million from the state for a zero-emission drayage truck development and demonstration project in association with air-quality districts in the San Francisco area, Sacramento, San Diego and the San Joaquin Valley. The project involves 43 zero-emission battery electric and plug-in hybrid drayage trucks serving major California ports, the district said, and demonstration trucks and charging infrastructure will be used in all five air districts.
