1993-2014
Southern California/Orange County CIO Breakfast Round Table
August 14, 2014 meeting
Present: Keith Golden, Sean Brown, Jeff Hecht, Jim Sutter, Jeff Crowell,
Dave Phillips
Attendance
at the summer months meetings has been a little disappointing, especially when
you consider the work each speaker puts into his/her presentation.
Topic: Future
of Intelligent Transportation
Keith listed the milestones in traffic management, from the
manual intersection signals in 1868 all the way to today’s widespread use of
camera for vehicle detection (see slide 3).
At each major intersection there is independent signal infrastructure,
often connected to a traffic management control center, which coordinates
traffic movement in both directions. It
is more complicated than one might think.
Keith addressed most of the FAQs for today’s signal systems. Then he took a look at the future, where
vehicles can be assisted, or connected to each other(V2V), or to infrastructure
(V2I). Before long we will see
self-driving cars. There is plenty of
motivation – 33,000 people are killed and 2.3M are injured each year on
American roads. Slide 14 lists the
vehicle assists now available. Slide 15
lists the V2V connected features now available.
Slide 16 lists the V2I feature now available. Keith's slides are at: http://www.slideshare.net/occio .
This was a fascinating presentation – thank you, Keith.
