Background
The Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) effort is reaching a key milestone—the initial set of physical, enterprise, and communications views are now complete, and have been posted to the CVRIA website (http://www.iteris.com/cvria/).
Join the USDOT and the CVRIA team for this first of seven webinars to learn about and provide comments on the first draft of the connected vehicle architecture views. The objective of these webinars is to familiarize attendees with the CVRIA content so that they will be equipped to provide feedback on the architecture before the CVRIA team launches the analysis to identify candidate interfaces for standardization. The CVRIA team will be presenting two to three representative applications in the context of the architecture viewpoints per session. The session will also include a short discussion about the interface analysis and candidate standards identification process; and a brief discussion of the policy analysis process to date.
Agenda
- David Binkley will present three applications, Red Light Violation Warning, Curve Speed Warning, and Speed Harmonization, to illustrate how the views were developed, what functions the different components perform, what information those components exchange, and what relationships will be required between users, owners, and operators to realize the applications. These views will be used to identify candidate interfaces for standardization and eventually incorporated into the National ITS Architecture.
- Jim Marousek of Booz Allen Hamilton will discuss the standardization process and the identification, analysis, and prioritization of interfaces for standardization.
- Dawn LaFrance-Linden of U.S. DOT's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center will highlight the policy analysis process for the applications presented in this webinar.
- The meeting will end with an online Question and Answer session. It is expected that comments will be received after the webinar from the participants, after they have had an opportunity to review the CVRIA website content on their own and can make more informed inputs to the CVRIA team.
Learning Objectives
You will:
- Learn about the CVRIA website, its applications, and its viewpoints
- Have an opportunity to provide feedback on application views during the webinar and after the webinar through direct feedback to the CVRIA team
- Learn how to contribute to the shaping of the connected vehicle program via your feedback on this architecture
Target Audience
- Highway managers, including local, state, and federal, and any others interested in the development, deployment, or use of vehicle to infrastructure applications
- Suppliers of roadside equipment used in V2I communications
