Trial of fully-automated taxis planned for Milton Keynes, UK, in 2015 ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 20149
10
AV Rollout Rollout will be evolutionary; two versions Technology companies: Google, RDM, Induct –Low-speed, electric, fully-automated –Then add speed, highway capability, etc. Most major car manufacturers –Add Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to familiar models –Intelligent cruise control (acceleration and braking), lane-keeping, pedestrian avoidance, auto parking –Then evolve to full automation ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201410
11
AV Rollout (cont’d) 2014: first generation AVs 2018-2019: first commercial fully- autonomous, highway-capable cars 2020-2030: major penetration of AVs in Canada, US and around the world ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201411

Agenda Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) Connected Vehicles (CVs) Electric Vehicles (EVs) Benefits, synergies and issues ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201412
13
Connected Vehicles Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) Vehicle-to-roadside infrastructure (V2I) Vehicle-to-other systems/servers (V2X) –Mainly to the Internet ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201413
14
CV: Current Applications Infotainment: –Traffic, weather, restaurants, concierge service –Music, movies, games, social networking Vehicle remote access Vehicle health reports Usage Based Insurance (UBI) Fleet management for trucks ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201414
15
CV: Future Applications Safety / collision avoidance Fleet management for Transportation-as-a- Service (TaaS) Enhanced integration of smartphones into vehicles Updating car’s OS, driving software Scanning web for conditions on road ahead Road-trains / platooning ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201415
16
CV Technologies 3G, 4G, LTE mobile phone technology Wi-Fi, WiMAX Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) at 5.9 GHz –Now being tested at Ann Arbor, MI By 2020: 5G mobile phone technology ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201416

24
Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS) Fully-automated taxis –Replacement for car ownership, regular taxis, some transit, car rental –Call, pay via Smartphone “Personalized mass transit” Uses AV, CV, EV ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201424
25
TaaS (cont’d) Much safer: –No driver → 80+% reduction in collisions Reduced cost / fares: –No driver –Low energy costs –Low maintenance costs –Cost competitive with transit –Much lower cost than regular taxis Reduced car ownership (started!) ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201425
26
TaaS + Transit Reduced transit ridership Reduced need for park-and-rides Traditional transit best for: –High volume routes, rush hour TaaS best for –Low density, non-rush hour routes –Last mile Issues –Optimum mix of transportation modes –TaaS offered by transit companies or private sector? ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201426
27
TaaS + Urban Planning Substantially reduced need for parking Changes in where people live and work –More intensification and more sprawl Change in design of homes Reduced focus on Transit Oriented Development Less pollution + less parking spaces = greener cities AV-only zones ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201427
28
Impact of AVs on Government Government: all levels / most departments –Finance, economy and GDP –Transportation policies and regulations –Policies on industry, R&D –Urban planning –Health-care –Policing –Transit ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201428
29
Impacts of AVs on Private Sector Corporate business plans / employment: –Taxis –Trucking / delivery –Auto industry –Oil industry –Electricity generation and distribution –Technology industry ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201429
30
AVs: The Coming of the Next Disruptive Technology Report by Conference Board of Canada, CAVCOE and Van Horne Institute Scope: –Status and trends in AVs –Impact on economy, infrastructure, transportation costs Due out in December –Free! ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201430
31
Conclusions Our cities and our world will look very different in 2030 compared to today because of ACE vehicles Transportation-as-a-Service a key outcome Huge impact on transportation and transit ACT Canada’s Sustainable Mobility Summit; Dec 3, 201431
32
Recommendation All transportation / transit long range plans should incorporate impact of AVs CBoC CTI Nov 25, 201432
