ITS Midwest Annual Meeting

Connected Vehicles are coming

• NHTSA Mandate

– 2014 – Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking – 2016 – Seeking White House Approval – 2020 – Anticipated NHTSA Mandate goes into effect

If the ball just keeps rolling, we will be living in a CV world in no time…

If Connected Vehicles are coming, what is my ITS plan right now?

ITS Process Today

Information Collection Information Dissemination Centralized Processing and Review

ITS Process – CV World

Information Collection Information Dissemination Centralized Processing and Review

Connected Vehicle Applications

Connected Vehicles can manage many new and old problems, but not all problems.

Connected Vehicles are (slowly) coming

Thought Exercise

• Say the NHTSA mandate happens in 2020
• Assume a 15-year fleet turnover rate

25% around 2024 50% around 2028 ~100% around 2035

What ITS is a safe investment today?
