Digital Infrastructure for Roadway Transportation & Automation Integration

Date and Time: Monday, July 18: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Terrace

Mark Davis

Head of Connected Vehicle Data Services - North America, Mobileye, an Intel Company

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

This session for roadway transportation agencies and industry partners will explore national research and collaboration priorities to evolve digital infrastructure across the national roadway network as an important enabler of transportation automation. The broad preliminary definition of transportation digital infrastructure encompasses the technologies, systems, and services that sense and perceive the physical environment; communicate, process, and store related data; and also the business models, institutional arrangements, and processes used to support a vital and diverse transportation system. We will emerge from this with a concise, multi-stakeholder understanding and path forward with what is meant and what needs to be done with digital infrastructure. The first part of the session will cover diverse stakeholder perspectives on definitions of digital infrastructure. The second part of the session will evolve consensus towards a definition along with strategic and institutional challenges and opportunities to advance digital infrastructure for roadway transportation at a national network level.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs:
A. Explore and summarize lessons learned over the past 30 years about digital infrastructure for roadway transportation
B. Discover models for collaborative research and development in digital infrastructure from the digitization of industries such as advanced manufacturing, medicine and public health, and others.
C. Understand how the FHWA Roadway-ADS Integration Concept of Operations (Con-Ops) and other national strategic documents and roadmaps consider digital infrastructure
D. Define immediate institutional and technical opportunities to nationally pilot and advance strategies for digital infrastructure for roadway transportation and automation.
E. Recommend national organizational roles and priority actions to advance the concept of a national pilot program towards digital infrastructure for roadway transportation and automation.
