The 324 US Department of Transportation (USDOT) is sponsoring three webinars to assist the Connected Vehicle Pilot sites, early installers and other interested stakeholders, as part of the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program Technical Assistance Webinar series, which began last month.
 
The Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program seeks to combine connected vehicle and mobile device technologies in innovative and cost-effective ways. Ultimately, this program will improve traveller mobility and system productivity while reducing environmental impacts and enhancing safety. The USDOT has selected three pilot sites, where teams are in the process of conducting Phase 1: Concept Development activities leading to later phases (Phase 2: Design/Build/Test and Phase 3: Operations). The USDOT-sponsored technical assistance webinars have been developed to assist not only the three selected sites, but also other early installers.
 
Webinars to be held in January include

25 January - Preparing a human use approval summary for connected vehicle

To be held at 1300-1430 EST, this seminar will present the USDOT perspective on the development of a Human Use Approval Summary, a key step in the concept development phase for deployment planning. Govind Vadakpat and Charles Fay of the 831 Federal Highway Administration will describe important considerations to assist pilot teams in planning for and obtaining and documenting required approvals from an accredited Institutional Review Board (IRB). By providing a summary of relevant topics and issues that should be addressed, pilot deployment teams can benefit from an early understanding that will assist in preparing for and obtaining human use approval. In particular, advance planning is critical to ensure that schedule impacts are minimized and that risks are effectively managed.

27 January - Preparing a participant training and stakeholder education plan for connected vehicle deployments

This webinar, to be held at 1320-1400 EST, will present the USDOT perspective on the development of a Participant Training and Stakeholder Education Plan, a key step in the concept development phase for deployment planning. Kate Hartman of the ITS JPO will describe the concept and the requirements of a Participant Training and Stakeholder Education Plan, which is consistent with the outcomes and plans associated with both the Human Use Approval Plan and Safety Management Plan. This plan identifies the roles that participants will take during the pilot deployment, including a rough description of their activities and responsibilities, and likely training requirements needed to ensure as-planned execution of the pilot deployment in the operational phase.

28 January - Utilising the open source application development portal for connected vehicle deployments

To be held at 1400-1530, this webinar will focus on the USDOT perspective on the need for Open Source software and the USDOT developed tools already available. Gene McHale of the FHWA will describe the Open Source requirements for a Connected Vehicle Pilot application, the available applications and features on the Open Source Application Development Portal (OSADP), and how to submit an application to the OSADP. A live demo will also be given of the OSADP website and relevant functions. The OSADP project focuses on developing and maintaining a portal where researchers can download, upload, and collaborate on Open Source transportation software.
