2 GATEWAY CITIES LOGISTICS CORRIDOR Anchored by Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles Busiest marine port complex in North America Over 40% of the nation s total import traffic Over 25% of the nation s total export traffic Dominant port of entry for Pacific Rim/U.S. trade 10% of U.S. population lies within 100 miles 16 million TEUs per year 30% of freight to local destinations (w/in 500 miles) 70% of freight to other US destinations Includes 14 active marine terminals YTI, SSA, TTI, APL etc. 694 Million sqft. of regional warehousing space Robust transportation network I-710, I-5; I-405. I-605, I-105, SR 91 Vast arterial network: over 2300 signalized intersections Project growth in container volumes through these ports is expected to at least double by

9 All aspects of a safety-critical control functions (e.g., steering, throttle, or braking) occur without direct driver input. All this possible through a mix of on-board sensors, cameras, GPS, and telecommunications equipment that obtains information in order to make their own judgments regarding safetycritical situations and act appropriately by effectuating control at some level.

17 I-710 CONOPS FOR THE ZERO EMISSION FREIGHT CORRIDOR Identify outstanding freight corridor design and operational issues through ConOps Functions to be incorporated Zero Emissions, connected truck, and ITS Implementation and operating responsibilities Needs for design team to address Incident management Periodic major maintenance Ongoing process for tracking and evaluating technology developments Pursue additional test bed opportunities Gateway Cities Technology Plan for Goods Movement 17

18 1 In Tier 1 the I-710 ZE Freight Corridor would have traditional traffic control devices such as: Speed/volume detectors CCTV surveillance cameras CMS for traveler information 2 The more advanced trucks will come with systems to improve safety and reliability utilizing radars, cameras and other on-board safety systems. These trucks still operate independently and do not communicate with other trucks or anything on the roadside. 4 The driver has overall control and is solely responsible for safe operation of the truck. The driver can choose to cede limited control to the vehicle. 3 Features on fully equipped trucks in Tier I include: Adaptive Cruise Control Dynamic Brake Support Overtaking Assist Lane Departure Warning Systems Tier 1

19 1 In Tier 2 the traditional traffic control devices would remain, although new invehicle systems would begin to provide much of this information. 2 Trucks with advanced systems would begin to penetrate the marketplace with over half the vehicles having nearly autonomous features such as Cooperative Cruise Control. 4 The driver still has overall control and is solely responsible for safe operation of the truck. The driver can choose to cede more control to the vehicle. 3 In Tier 2 some trucks now begin to have Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication sharing, thereby increasing safety significantly. Even at this level, these technologies support increased reliability and are a benefit to I-710 throughput. Tier 2

20 1 In Tier 3 the traditional traffic control devices would not be needed any more. All traveler information (including tolling etc.) would be done in-vehicle. 2 Trucks with advanced systems would dominate the marketplace with the trucks having fully autonomous features. At this stage shorter headways could be utilized, thereby creating dynamic platoons of trucks and therefore greater throughput.. 4 The driver would cede full control over to the vehicle. 3 Trucks now begin to have Vehicle-to- Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication. Tier 3
