Who is ITS America: Public/private partnership representing 400 public and private sector organizations involved in all aspects of ITS research, planning, development, and deployment Headquartered in Washington, DC with 27 regional and state chapters representing 40 states Our Vision: help save lives, time and money and help sustain the environment through broad deployment of interoperable ITS technologies Our Mission: be proactive leaders for all ITS stakeholders promoting collaboration and networking in research, development and design of ITS technologies to accelerate deployment

10 America’s Transportation Challenges are also Freight / Supply Chain Challenges! Safety: Annual toll - 6 million traffic crashes, 40,000 fatalities, 2.5 million injuries. Cost to society exceeds $230 billion Congestion: Traffic delays cost taxpayers at least $78 billion per year, limiting mobility, productivity & economic growth Gas Prices: Unstable, need “energy independence” Environment: Transportation accounts for nearly 1/3 rd of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions Infrastructure: Estimates are that we should be investing $225 billion or more annually Financing: Gas tax unsustainable, new revenues needed

Examples of ITS for Commercial Vehicles Virtual Weigh Stations & Wireless Inspection/Credentialing Electronic Tolling Onboard Safety Systems –Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems –Onboard Monitoring System Smart Parking Systems Smart Roadside Program –Multi-modal, multi-agency data sharing to Manage the flow of commercial vehicle traffic Help prevent and respond to crashes & other incidents Focus enforcement resources on high-risk carriers, vehicles, and drivers Reduce unnecessary delay for commercial vehicles, and thereby improve associated energy consumption and emissions

Smart Roadside Vision Commercial vehicles, motor carriers, enforcement resources, highway facilities and key nodes on the freight system (ports and terminals, international border crossings, toll plazas, weigh stations, and other check points) share data in order to: –Manage the flow of commercial vehicle traffic –Help prevent and respond to crashes and other incidents –Focus enforcement resources on high-risk carriers, vehicles, and drivers –Reduce unnecessary delay for commercial vehicles, and thereby improve associated energy consumption and emissions
