The Vision

TRANSIT

SHARED MOBILITY

Use-cases are now standardized, tested and proven:

e.g. Signalized intersections, In-vehicle signage, Probe vehicle data, Hazardous Location Notification, Road works warnings

Many data providers and consumers:

e.g. roadside systems, road users and fleets (PT/EV/Logistics), traffic management centers

Multi stakeholder eco-system:

Agencies, industry, traffic ops, OEMs, planners, transit, mobility providers, etc.

These challenges require a platform capable of handling real-time data

in a multi-stakeholder eco-system

Technical obstacles:

e.g. identification, security, data quality, latency

Organizational obstacles:

e.g. governance, privacy, standardization

Talking Traffic principles

Use international standards / interfacing where possible

Create new open standards / interfacing where needed

Use existing telecommunication network

Security and privacy by design

No end-to-end solutions, ITS needs an eco-system

Talking Traffic Use-Cases

Live at large scale

Time To Green = reduce emissions
Improve traffic flow = efficiency and reduce emissions
Prioritize designated traffic = less disruption
Emergency vehicle alerts = shorten roundtrip and reduce accidents

Ongoing growth of use-cases

Urban Vehicle Access Regulations
EV access to private sites
Hazardous locations (based on a variety of sensors)
And more traffic lights, emergency vehicles, and fleets/road users
