SAFETY MOBILITY ENVIRONMENT

• Prevent accidents

• Minimise Harm

• Accessible information improves mobility and choice of modes

• Management of transport demand

• ITS an enabler of reduction in environmental impact

TARGET: Zero harm TARGET: Zero avoidable congestion

TARGET: Significant (50-70% reduction in emissions

Victoria’s iTransport Discussion Paper

iTransport Discussion Paper

Transport challenges are growing, so greater need for smarter solutions

Priority outcomes for ITS– Provide reliable access and minimise congestion– Improve safety and security– Improve asset management– Better inform people about travel choices– Make the transport system more sustainable

iTransport Discussion Paper

Smarter infrastructure is an important part of the picture, but only part

More interaction between technologies creates new opportunities, and new challenges

Maintenance and renewal strategies “a must” Government buy-in “a must”

Austroads Projects

– NS 1524 Defining Applicability of International Standards for Intelligent Transport Systems

– NS1657 Best Practice Study on the use of ITS Standards in Traffic Management

– NS1696 Development of a National ITS Reference Architecture

– Best Practice Procurement for ITS

– AP-R375/11 Potential Safety Benefits (25-35%) - MUARC Response to ACMA 5.9 GHz White Paper Austroads Cooperative ITS Steering Committee

– A point of focus for the ITS A Strategy

– NT1632 C-ITS Strategic Plan (ARRB)

• A development roadmap

• Industry Reference Group

• Satellite interference studies

• Enhanced international engagement in standards development

• Increased interest in global deployment trials

Issues

Dynamic/uncertain environment Project development with national coordination Links to global developments Interoperability of numerous applications Functions, responsibilities, liabilities, governance Privacy and security Human-machine interface Digital mapping and positioning Various communications methods – not just 5.9 GHz Aftermarket applications Conflict between public & private objectives Consumer confidence and market penetration

Federal Govt Policy Framework for ITS in Australia

Policy Principles:

– ITS development and implementation must deliver demonstrable benefits to individuals and the community

– The policy environment in which ITS are developed must be robust and dynamic

Priority Action Areas

Network Architecture– Austroads to develop specifications for a National ITS

Architecture

Policy Leadership– All relevant agencies and bodies to be advised of the

framework

Cooperative ITS Strategy– Austroads developing a National C-ITS Strategy

5.9GHz Spectrum for DSRC– Spectrum arrangements to be finalised with ACMA

Priority Action Areas

Government Industry Linkages– Governments to work with ITS Australia to strengthen

Innovation– Monitor developments overseas

Privacy– Consider the National Privacy Principles application to ITS

Economic Analysis of Smart Infrastructure– Incorporate results of BITRE analysis

Priority Action Areas

Standards Development– Develop a more strategic approach

Managed Motorways– Implementation of $60m funded in 2011/12– Commonwealth budget + further development

Governance– Consider new collaborative governance arrangements

Research and Development– Encourage work and initiate strategy development

Level Crossing Safety

V2I level crossing warning system Train transmits approach message to roadside unit Roadside unit broadcasts (directionally limited) to vehicles within

designated approach zone, covering >700m One approach is radio interrupt warning in-vehicle Victorian Government innovation investment led to field

demonstration in April 2011 Demonstration focused on very low cost technology Longer term adoption as application in broader cooperative ITS

platforms

Intelligent Speed Assist

Speed Intervention Trials in Vic, NSW & WA Use of Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) technology

– Well developed technology, but there have been barriers to adoption (accuracy and maintenance of data)

– Target trial for repeat offenders initially to assess suitability of approach

Develop supporting infrastructure, including speed zone maps

A smart solution – Managed Motorways

Managed motorways, including:– Variable speed limits and lane use management– Coordinated freeway ramp signals– Enhanced traveller information– Network intelligenceCurrent Australian examples– M1 Upgrade (Vic)– Gateway Upgrade Project (Qld)– Western Australia2011/12 Budget– $61.4M budget allocation– M1 – Westgate in Vic– M4 in Sydney– Gateway Motorway (Nudgee to Bruce Hwy)
