ITS pilot project
• March 2015 - A plan for Intelligent Transport Systems
(ITS) in Queensland – identifies pilot projects for
cooperative intelligent transport services (C-ITS) and
automated vehicles (AV)
• May 2016 – Business case approved by the department
to pilot these new technologies

6. 6 |6 |
• Forecasts suggest that more
than 25% of vehicles
globally will be connected
by 2020.
• Multiple “connected vehicle”
services

What is cooperative ITS?

7. 7 |7 |
What is cooperative ITS?
• Today, detection and information are in silos
• C-ITS shares data between users up to 10x/s:
 richer information for identifying hazards
 more accurate and timely warnings of conditions.

Toyota C-ITS applications
• Right turn collision warning
• Red light caution
• Signal advisory change
• Cooperative cruise control
• Emergency vehicle notification

When is C-ITS likely to occur?
• Auto industry have not indicated a date for equipped
vehicles into Australia
• Japan is the first country with C-ITS equipped
production vehicles (the Prius)
• USA mandate by 2017 and General Motors will release
a C-ITS equipped model this year.
• Both Europe and the US are forecasting 2019 for large
scale production of C-ITS
What When Where Why How

12. 12 |12 |
AV and C-ITS - parallel initiatives
CITS only provide the driver with warnings
AV can’t see around corners or through objects
AV sensors limited for higher speeds or in bad weather
AV implements CITS warnings
C-ITS expands AV view

13. 13 |13 |
Why is government involved?
• AVs are dependent on governments to maintain the
physical asset and provide supportive policy, legislation and
regulations
• In addition, C-ITS is dependent on government to provide:
 arrangements for radio communications
 ITS infrastructure and data
 operation of a security system
 positioning augmentation
What When Where Why How

14. 14 |14 |
How is government involved?
What When Where Why How
• Austroads program and guidelines for AV and C-ITS
• Transport and Infrastructure Senior Officials' Committee
(TISOC) draft national policy & action plan for AV and C-ITS
• National Transport Commission (NTC) review of regulation
and development of a framework
• Queensland state and safety action plan
 Harvest new technology and prepare for connected and
autonomous vehicles
 Better manage safety and speed through new technology

15. 15 |15 |
How will the department be involved?
What When Where Why How
• Upskill staff, adapt systems
• Establish new relationships
• Establish test beds for research
• Measure safety benefits
• Demonstrate to public

16. 16 |16 |
How will the department be involved?
What When Where Why How
• The pilots focus on the following:
 EU standards for the ITS station and system architecture
 5.9 and 3G/4G network access
 Positioning augmentation solutions (national need)
 Security credential management system (national need)
