1st International ITS Innovation Forum

PROCEEDINGS REPORT

Preface

The Department of Transport (DoT) published the Abu Dhabi Surface Transport Master Plan (STMP) in 2008
to provide the road map for a future multi-modal transportation network in Abu Dhabi Emirate, that would
assure the network’s development and future expansion is undertaken in a strategic rather than a reactive,
piecemeal way. As a follow-up, in 2010, the DoT published the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Strategy,
Architecture and Action Plan, addressed a technologically-based approach for addressing mobility and safety
needs as defined in the STMP.
The DoT ITS Strategy, developed in coordination with numerous government stakeholders, describes the
development of an extensive electronic ITS roadside infrastructure, all linked by fiber optics and managed
through an Emirate-wide Transport Management Centre, which would also manage the expanding public
transport network. But the Strategy also addresses a future built around the eventual development of Con-
nected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV’s) – using data from both vehicles and travelers as an integral part
of transport operations, not just for information but also to assist in managing the operation of the network,
and providing warning messages directly into the vehicle itself. The vehicle in turn would be capable of
automated functions in response to the surrounding environment and to particular warning messages. Early
international research on CAV’s has yielded promising results that indicate tremendous potential in saving
lives, time and money.
In the first phase of deployment (2010-2015), the DoT has been responsible for implementation of adaptive
traffic signal operations, traveler information systems using real-time data from vehicles and road sensors,
and a public transport electronic tracking and dispatch system, along with the expansion of an existing Traf-
fic Management Center to support future operational needs within Abu Dhabi City.
DoT is planning to update the ITS Strategy, both to build upon its current investments and incorporate
emerging technologies as part of its future plans for the 2nd phase covering the period from 2016-2020.
CAV and expanded ITS roadway infrastructure working in an integrated fashion are expected to be key com-
ponents of this upcoming phase.
Over the last few years public authorities around the world have been researching, testing and now are ac-
tively pursuing the development and introduction of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies
into their transportation networks. Likewise, the Abu Dhabi DoT is studying the impact these new technolo-
gies will have on its existing plans and to assess its readiness and the various government agencies readi-
ness in this regard.

1st International ITS Innovation Forum

PROCEEDINGS REPORT

Executive Summary

To provide an opportunity to learn about international experiences on CAV and formulate a way forward, DoT
hosted its first International ITS Innovation Forum, with a specific focus on Connected and Autonomous Ve-
hicle (CAV) technology. The first workshop of its kind in the Gulf Region, it introduced the participants to the
rapidly-developing world of CAV (sometimes called Cooperative ITS). The speakers to the workshop hailed
from the U.S., Europe and Australia as well as the UAE, and brought insight into current CAV research, pilot
deployment and testing activities as well as methodologies for designing and implementing these systems.
The major investments in CAV involve the full development of a wireless network of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure
(V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications, sometimes referred to as “V2X”. However, CAV also
includes fundamental changes to in-vehicle systems that automate activities ranging from parking in urban
areas to, ultimately, full “driverless” vehicle operations, using V2X communications to enhance both driver
and vehicle knowledge of their surroundings. Numerous applications are under development to prevent
collisions at intersections as well as on high-speed routes, the expected result being a reduction or even
elimination of fatalities, injuries and property damage as a result of accidents. Other applications will enable
“just in time” service connecting various freight operators (whether operating trucks, rail cars, or vessels) so
that goods movements and transfers can occur with a minimum of delay and downtime, and further increase
the UAE’s competitiveness as a hub for industry, natural resources and trade.
Over the next several decades, CAV technologies, in combination with alternative propulsion technologies
such as hybrid and electric power, are expected to usher in a new era in ground transport that will impact all
citizens, residents and transport service providers in the UAE. The time to prepare for the future is today.

1st International ITS Innovation Forum

PROCEEDINGS REPORT

Recommendations and Next Steps

Introduction

Abu Dhabi’s Department of Transport (DoT) has made a strong commitment to Intelligent Transport Systems
as a tool to achieve a future transportation network with zero fatalities and zero delays. To date, ITS deploy-
ments in Abu Dhabi have epitomized the state of the practice, utilizing high-speed communications, smart
traffic control, centralized monitoring and management of public transport, and data from both roadside
sensors and vehicles themselves. The public sees real-time information for traffic and buses through the
Darb Mobile and web applications, and can do other things on the app such as pay for parking, book a taxi,
and find out about flight and parking information at the airport.
The DoT ITS Strategy defined in 2010 describes the development of an extensive electronic ITS roadside in-
frastructure, all linked by fiber optics and managed through an Emirate-wide Transport Management Centre,
which would also manage the expanding public transport network. But the Strategy also addressed a future
built around the eventual development of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV’s) – taking data from
moving vehicles along with traveler inputs, and using that data as an integral part of transport operations,
not just for information but also to assist in managing the operation of the network, and providing warning
messages directly into the vehicle itself. The vehicle in turn would be capable of automated functions in re-
sponse to the surrounding environment and to particular warning messages. Early international research on
CAV’s has yielded promising results that indicate tremendous potential in saving lives, time and money.
The First Annual ITS Innovation Forum had as its focus the emerging area of CAV’s. The international trans-
port community is also focused on this area, with much of the publicity surrounding automated vehicles as
developed by entities such as Google, as well as government efforts at supporting a wireless communica-
tions infrastructure involving vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) connectivity. This
activity effectively takes ITS to the next level – one of direct communications between travelers, the trans-
port network, and vehicles. Routings, warnings of potential accidents, and advisory information can be
internalized within vehicle operations so as to provide safer, more reliable travel. Data from both travelers
and vehicles can be used by the transport operator in a manner which supports better planning of both roads
and public transport services, as well as day-to-day operations.

PROCEEDINGS REPORT

The Gulf Region as a Catalyst for ITS and CAV’s

The GCC is at an important economic juncture. The expansion of the region, in terms of population growth
as well as industrial, commercial, retail and residential development, requires a modern, secure and well-run
transport infrastructure to preserve safe and reliable mobility for both people and goods. Abu Dhabi has
long been an international centre for energy production and development, particularly oil and gas. But the
future will require increased emphasis on more environmentally-friendly forms of energy. The Masdar initia-
tive in Abu Dhabi has been world-renowned for its emphasis on solar, wind and other forms of energy use,
along with automation of transport. Expanding this type of leadership to the whole of the transport realm
in the region will require support not just from government leaders and regional transport professionals,
but successful engagement of the international transport community. The GCC offers potential as a living
laboratory and demonstration location for CAV initiatives developed elsewhere in the world as well as initia-
tives developed in the region. While many communications, data and security standards and technologies
are already being developed for CAV’s, the region should have an opportunity to influence and demonstrate
these standards and technologies.

Development of a Major Middle East ITS Organization

Organizations such as ITS America, ERTICO (ITS Europe), ITS Australia, and ITS Asia-Pacific promote the
development of ITS and CAV activities in their respective continents or regions. They encompass multiple
national organizations both in the public sector and private sector, and work with international standards
groups including ISO, IEEE, CEN and ETSI to promote an ITS environment that can be applied broadly across
multiple states, the world’s automotive industry, and the international telecommunications community. The
annual ITS World Congress that is held alternately in the Americas, Europe and either Asia or Australia offers
an opportunity to mark the progress of ITS development and to introduce new initiatives to the world.

The unique economic position of the countries in the GCC should be recognized as its own driver, both in the
development and the consumption of ITS and CAV services.

To assure that this development occurs in a standard and equitable way throughout the Middle East, it is
essential that there be one singular ITS organization in the region that is able to stand alongside similar orga-
nizations in the other continents and regions across the world. Previous experience has indicated that much
of this leadership needs to be provided and sponsored by the most significant public sector entities, much
as nations such as the Netherlands and Japan, along with the U.S. Department of Transportation, were key
drivers in the development of specific ITS industry organizations.

Without a strong governmental driver who works well with other peers across the region, there will continue
to be numerous disconnected initiatives which do not promote ITS in the region as a whole, nor do they pro-
mote standardization and coordination activities which are so essential to personal and goods movements
across the region.

The DoT thus proposes to serve as initial leader and organizer of a Middle East ITS Organization that is
focused not just on the current ITS state-of-the-practice, but in development of the future transport network
that incorporates CAV’s as an integral element in the drive to zero fatalities and zero delays.

RECOMMENDATION
& NEXT STEP

12

1st International ITS Innovation Forum

PROCEEDINGS REPORT

The proposed Middle East ITS Organization should have as its mission the following three activities:
1. Organization of all national and regional transport organizations throughout the region (including, in the

UAE, Federal and individual Emirate transport ministries or authorities) to develop a common vision for
the use of technology and telecommunications to enhance mobility of people and goods and further
develop the region’s economy.
2. Incorporation of private sector organizations and both public and private research institutions in the
region as both contributors and advisors to the Organization in order to develop the common vision.
3. The hosting of an ITS World Congress as early as 2022 in Abu Dhabi, which would mark the first Con-
gress not held in Europe, Asia, Australia or North America, and would offer an opportunity to showcase
the unique activities both underway currently and that will be developed as part of ITS and CAV initiatives
in the future within the region.
The DoT has been engaging leaders in organizations such as ITS America, ERTICO and ITS Australia in the
steps needed to form a regional organization that can be a peer group that further enhances and strengthens
the ITS industry, and that has the leadership skills and capacity to host an ITS World Congress alongside the
other organizations. It is recommended that these efforts continue at once and that an annual meeting of
the resulting Middle East ITS Organization, recognized as a unified meeting for the full region, be organized
in one year as a follow-up to DoT’s First Annual Innovation Forum. In addition, the 2016 ITS World Congress
is to be held in Melbourne, Australia, and at that time the proposed Middle East ITS Organization should
present its strategy and game plan for hosting the 2022 ITS World Congress.

1. Why Conduct the analysis

• In a 2011 high level policy meeting the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) asked a team of state DOT executives when
DRSC field infrastructure would be deployed and would it be available
to provide security communications.

• The response was we don’t know what this DRSC infrastructure looks
like, what the operational and performance requirements are and
don’t know what the capital and operating costs are; consequently
we have no plans to deploy.

• AASHTO immediately realized there needed to be answers to these
questions for the states, the USDOT and the auto industry because of
the national significance of the Connected vehicle program.

What Does it mean for State DOT’s Now

Don Hunt Colorado DOT 2015

• State DOT’s are facing their biggest challenge since Tesla 2015
the Interstate Program in the late 1950”s

• Increasingly rapid technological change is about to
affect transportation in the same way it has changed
other industries.

• While the future still is an unknown, those
organizations that can find the common threads
leading to the future will be best able to serve their
residents and customers.
