The document discusses the challenges in transportation, including mobility delays, safety issues, and environmental concerns, highlighting the need for a transformative approach in data management. It emphasizes the role of connected vehicle technologies that enable real-time data sharing, enhancing innovation in transportation systems. Additionally, it mentions a case study of the Wyoming connected vehicle pilot program that exemplifies effective data fluidity and privacy protection.

2. TODAY’S TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES
1
Mobility
• 6.9 billion hours of travel delay
• $160 billion cost of urban congestion
Safety
• 35,092 highway deaths in 2015
• 6.3 million crashes in 2015
• Leading cause of death for ages 5-24
Environment
• 3.1 billion gallons of wasted fuel
• 56 billion pounds of additional CO2
Data Sources:
2015 Motor Vehicle Crashes: Overview, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (August 2016); 2015 Annual Urban Mobility Report, Texas Transportation
Institute (Aug 2015); Centers for Disease Control

3. IMAGINE A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN WHICH
VEHICLES CAN SENSE &
COMMUNICATE
THINGS THAT YOU CAN’T.

4. NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE INCREASINGLY:
3
• Data-intensive
• Internet-connected
• Developed iteratively
• Developed collaboratively
• Fundamentally changing consumer/citizen expectations
In this paradigm, data is available on-demand for authorized
users; new capabilities come faster, at lower cost; and services
interconnect and interoperate dynamically via web services.

5. • It’s not just “more data” – it is a
fundamental paradigm shift in
information technology, design
methodologies, and business models.
• The transportation ecosystem is not
“digital native.” It’s a big change.
• How do deployers get ready for this
future while meeting near-term needs?
