Objective TimeframePhase 1:
Application Refinement and Research
Develop application-specific concept of operationsPerform fundamental research that will impact application development and deployment
2006 - 2008
Phase 2:
Proof of Concept (POC) Testing
Develop and test core VII system functionality and servicesValidate the architecture using “stub” applicationsTechnically demonstrate the VII system is capable of supporting Day 1 applications
2006 - early 2008
Phase 3:
Prototype Development
and Testing
(Post-POC)
Refine application software, address human factors issues, resolve institutional challengesProduce near “production ready”/fully functional designsTest application effectiveness
2008 - 2010
Phase 4: Deployment Readiness & Support
Assemble application support “packages” including best practices; core software modules; lessons learned, etc.Identify resource needs
2009 - 2012

VII Research related to institutional, deployment, and operational
issues
• Roles/responsibilities of States and local transportation agencies in executing applications
• Central versus decentralized analyses of probe data,
• Evaluation of “opt in” public sector programs,
• VII “Operating Entity” structure, governance, funding.
Application Research
Challenges/Next StepsChallenges/Next Steps
• Determine additional application priorities for investment– Address areas of transit and motor carrier
operations, as well as planning support, etc.– Private sector needs to meet market demand Identify which stakeholders need to be further
engaged and how best to do this
• Identify necessary (but not overly restrictive) standards and guidelines
• To what extent should applications be developed
• Determine resource needs of public agencies
