 INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA
The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) was established in 1991 as a
not-for-profit organization to foster the use of advanced technologies in surface transportation
systems. We are the leading advocate for technologies that improve the safety, security and
efficiency of the nation's surface transportation system. The formation of ITS America was
motivated by the recognition that while numerous existing organizations were actively involved
in transportation issues, no single organization existed to focus exclusive attention on
emerging technologies.

Our members include private corporations, public agencies, and academic institutions
involved in the research, development and design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
technologies that enhance safety, increase mobility, and sustain the environment.

JOIN US TO MOVE AMERICA FORWARD!

The theme for ITS America’s 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition—Moving America Forward—
could not be timelier. With the efforts underway on Capitol Hill to craft the next surface
transportation bill—legislation that is likely to not only significantly impact ITS, but also
the future of our nation’s surface transportation system, this year’s conference is the most
important opportunity for you to reach key transportation decision makers for your products
and services. ITS America’s 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition is where all the pieces of
the ITS puzzle will come together—the technology, expertise, funding sources, contacts,
and advocacy. And, we’re doing it all in the nation’s capitol!

We hope you’ll join your peers and colleagues from local, state, and federal departments
of transportation, transit authorities, environmental organizations, academia, automotive
manufacturers, traffic management, and freight and commercial vehicle interests to help
move America forward. You’ll hear national leaders share their insights during the plenary
sessions. You can participate in technical, scientific, and Congressional fact-finding sessions
on topics ranging from the next transportation bill to infrastructure financing strategies and
transportation sustainability. Our 150,000 square foot exhibition hall will feature the latest
solutions to our nation’s transportation challenges. And you don’t want to miss the ITS facility
site tours and live demonstration of vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies in front of
the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.

You will have the opportunity to interact with Members of Congress and their staff during a
special Congressional policy breakfast on Wednesday, June 3, and will hear from key House
and Senate committee leaders during the closing plenary on Wednesday about the role ITS
solutions will play in the next surface transportation bill as well as upcoming energy and
climate change legislation.

That’s not all. We will also connect you directly with your Members of Congress as we’ll be
offering regular shuttle service between the convention center and Capitol Hill on Wednesday,
followed by a special closing reception where you will have another opportunity to interact
with Congressional leaders and policy makers who are helping to shape the future of our
transportation system

Advancing ITS deployment, operations, research, and demonstration programs in the next
transportation bill and other key legislation is critical to the success of the ITS industry and
its partners. With your Annual Meeting and Exposition participation, 2009 will be an unparalleled
success in furthering the research, development, and broad deployment of ITS solutions
across the nation.

I look forward to seeing you in June!

Sincerely,

Scott F. Belcher
President and CEO

MOVING AMERICA FORWARD

ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION

Dear Colleagues:

We sincerely look forward to your joining us at the ITS America 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition,
June 1–3, 2009 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland—
just inside the Washington, DC area. As you are all well aware, this is a momentous year for the ITS
industry as members of Congress and the new administration move towards the authorization of a
new federal transportation package.

With the Annual Meeting so close to Washington, D.C., we have a wonderful opportunity to directly
provide legislators on the federal, state, and local level with evidence and information for a new and
revitalized approach to transportation using our industry’s technologies to optimize and maximize their
transportation dollars. We know that ITS can allow transportation systems to meet an important new
set of goals focused on safety, mobility, efficiency, and sustainability.

ITS America’s 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition will reflect the broad spectrum of ITS interests,
including the issues and technologies that are important to you in most effectively furthering
transportation mobility. As an attendee, you will have access to a live demonstration of innovative
mobility solutions that will take place just outside the convention center. There will, of course, also be
a grand-scale exhibit hall featuring over 130 companies that provide the latest in practical and useful
ITS solutions. The conference program will feature nearly 100 educational sessions. Would you like to
meet your legislators? ITS America has planned a dedicated “Capitol Hill Day” where attendees will
have the opportunity to meet directly with their members of Congress.

We also know you will want to take advantage of the many highly relevant and informative technical tours.
The Washington, DC metropolitan area is a recognized leader in the deployment of ITS technologies and
practices and the conference’s technical tours will enable you to experience them and hopefully bring
ideas home to your own region.

Of great importance is that we also take the time now and during the conference to recognize the
numerous volunteer members of the 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition Organizing Committee and
its subcommittees for their tremendous commitment in planning this historic event. This conference
simply couldn’t happen without their selfless effort.

So, mark your calendar and make plans today to attend ITS America’s 2009 Annual Meeting and
Exposition, June 1-3. It is an event that you won’t want to miss.

We look forward to seeing you in National Harbor!

Transportation Integrated Vehicle
Based Safety System (IVBSS) Initiative
Monday, June 1
3:30PM – 5:00PM
This session provides an update on the
Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems
(IVBSS) Program, a U.S. Department of
Transportation vehicle safety initiative to build
and field test integrated crash warning systems
designed to prevent rear-end, lane change, and
roadway departure collisions for light vehicles
and heavy commercial trucks. This initiative is the
first attempt to integrate and test systems that
address these three crash types, including
crashes involving multiple threats. In November
2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation
entered into a cooperative research agreement
with the University of Michigan Transportation
Research Institute to carry out the IVBSS pro-
gram. Following successful completion of tests to
verify the functionality and performance of the
prototype system designs, Phase II was approved
in April of 2008. Extended pilot testing was con-
ducted prior to the start of the full-scale field
operational tests that began in the first quarter of
2009. This session’s presentations will include a
program overview and status report, discussion
of results from the extended pilot tests, an

■ SS15: Intelligent Transportation
Applications to Driver Wellness
and Well-being
Tuesday, June 2
8:00AM – 9:30AM
While considerable focus has been placed on
the convergence of vehicle and infrastructure
information, less consideration has been placed
on what information might be provided about
the individual driver, their performance and
interaction with the vehicle, infrastructure and
traffic. Drivers across the U.S. have reported
less ‘happiness’ and satisfaction with driving—
along side fatigue, distraction, anger, etc., “dri-
ver stress” is emerging as the new impairment.
Similarly, as the population ages, chronic dis-
ease management will become a greater issue
for driver performance—combinations of med-
ical conditions, medication uses as well as
physiological changes behind the wheel in
response to highway conditions will be greater
factors in both individual and system perform-
ance and safety. MIT, in collaboration with the
U.S. DOT, and industry researchers, has been
developing the concept of driver wellness and
well-being. How does driver physical and men-
tal well-being affect driver performance? How
might information be collected about individual
driver and optimally used to improve their per-
formance as well as traffic safety/system per-
formance? How might the integration of the
individual driver’s well-being be integrated into
an intelligent transportation systems architec-
ture to improve individual and system safety as
well as performance?

collection and controls 133 closed circuit televi-
sion (CCTV) cameras, 6 road weather information
systems (RWIS), 6 highway advisory radios
(HAR), and 1,582 traffic signals and dynamic mes-
sage signs (DMS). It is equipped with video walls
and communication systems to facilitate traffic
operations and management. The central TMC
software is CapTOP that was developed by in-
house DDOT engineers and which provides GIS
interface for incident data entry, data display,
analysis, and report generations for performance
measurements and control. It records daily traffic
data and shares them via a regional data center
with Maryland and Northern Virginia.
The MPDC’s Joint Operations Command Center
(JOCC) is a secure facility located on the 5th floor
of police headquarters. The JOCC is operated by
the MPDC but may include staff from other federal,
regional, state, and local law enforcement agen-
cies during joint operations. Its CCTV system is
activated during major events in the district (such
as large-scale demonstrations, the Fourth of July
celebration, presidential inaugurations, or major
investigations such as the October 2002 sniper
shootings) or during periods of heightened alert for
terrorism. The JOCC is employed for a variety of
other purposes, including crime briefings in which
department leaders can access crime maps and
other information to review trends and develop
strategies as well as for sharing time-sensitive
information with the seven police districts and
other MPDC units via videoconferencing.

ITS AMERICA ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION | TECHNICAL TOURS
■ DC Bike Sharing System, Zipcar,
and DC Circulator
Tuesday, June 2
9:30AM – 12:00PM
Washington, DC is on the forefront of vehicle
sharing technology and innovative public transit.
In 2007, the city welcomed car sharing by provid-
ing 85 public parking spaces for shared cars and
promoting them as part of the transportation sys-
tem. In 2008, DC became the first big city in North
America to launch an automated bike rental pro-
gram. Both systems use RFID card technology
and on-line registration. The DC Circulator is a
quick, efficient, and low-cost, public-transit sys-
tem dedicated to promoting ease of movement
throughout the city and which links cultural,
entertainment, and business destinations
within the city’s central core. Operating since
2005, it is the result of a unique public / private
partnership between the District Department of
Transportation (DDOT), Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority, and DC Surface Transit,
Inc. The Circulator supports transit use and com-
plements existing public transportation systems
while also reducing congestion and air pollution.
This tour takes you to a location downtown
where both rental bikes and cars are parked and
where you can learn more about the programs
from transportation department staff. Attendees
will be transported via Circulator bus to Union
Station and ride the system’s flagship Union
Station—Georgetown route, where DDOT staff
will talk about the features of the unique Van
Hool buses and Interfleet tracking technology.
■ FAA Air Traffic Control System
Command Center
Tuesday, June 2
10:00AM – 2:00PM
The FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command
Center (ATCSCC) is responsible for providing
oversight of the air traffic control system. It over-
sees all air traffic control and also manages air
traffic control within centers where there are
problems (bad weather, traffic overloads, inoper-
ative runways). In May 1994, the command cen-
ter became operational and is the largest and
most sophisticated facility of its kind worldwide.
Its mission is to manage the national airspace
system in conjunction with its field air traffic
control facilities and various customers such as
the airlines, general aviation, military, and others.
Attendees will visit the operational floor and
observe first-hand how the various functions of
the center work together.

■ Virginia MegaProjects Bus Tour
Tuesday, June 2
12:30PM – 2:00PM
The Virginia Department of Transportation is tak-
ing on a number of major construction projects
called the MegaProjects. These projects will
improve multiple modes of transportation like
highway, rail, transit, ridesharing and new high-
way networks for carpools and buses called high
occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. These lanes will con-
tinue to allow high occupancy vehicles and
motorcycles to travel in them free. During con-
struction, the MegaProjects will utilize ITS tech-
nology to mitigate work zone congestions.
Technology such as variable speed limit system,
CCTV, detection, and portable changeable mes-
sage signs will be implemented.
■ Montgomery County Public Safety
Communications Center (PSCC)
Tuesday, June 2
1:00PM – 4:00PM
Montgomery County’s Public Safety
Communications Center (PSCC) is a multi-
agency and multi-departmental operations
facility. This facility has co-located 911 (PSAP)
call taking, Police Department and Fire &
Rescue Department dispatch, emergency man-
agement group / emergency operations center
(EOC), and the transportation management cen-
ter (TMC) which includes traffic and transit
operations. The facility serves as a designated
back-up to the state’s emergency operation
center, as well as a backup to the national
ChemTrec 24-hour HAZMAT Communications
Center. The PSAP is responsible for receiving
all 911 phone calls—approximately one million
per year—placed in Montgomery County as
well as the dispatching of all Police and Fire &
Rescue field units. The TMC manages the day-
to-day operations of more than 800 traffic sig-
nals located along more than 400 miles of
signalized arterial highways.
Montgomery County’s transit system is man-
aged in the TMC also, including computer aided
dispatch (CAD) and automated vehicle locating
(AVL) on all buses. The TMC shares surveil-
lance conducted using more than 190 closed
circuit television cameras (CCTVs) with nearly
240 planned. The county provides aerial surveil-
lance during weekday commuting periods, and
coordination and communication with the
Montgomery County Police and Fire / EMS
Departments to support incident management
efforts throughout the county. The EOC acti-
vates during local or regional emergencies.
This facility coordinates the efforts of multiple
departments and jurisdictions in the event of
emergencies. The PSCC has a wide, varied and
unique assemblage of operations centers not
typically all co-located in the same facility.
22 TECHNICAL TOURS | ITS AMERICA ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION
■ Woodrow Wilson Bridge Boat Tour
Wednesday, June 3
8:30AM – 10:30AM
The Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project is recon-
structing and expanding a crossing that has
impeded regional travel for decades. The new
twin structures, which cross the Potomac River
just south of Washington, D.C. and link Oxon
Hill, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia, add two
more lanes in both directions to the Capital
Beltway (I-95/I-495) and separate traffic into
local and “thru” lanes. The first new bridge has
been carrying traffic since 2006, and the second
span opened last year. Under construction
since late 2000, the $2.5-billion program has
remained on schedule and on budget.
The project has involved much more than replac-
ing a bridge: it has rebuilt almost 12 percent of the
Capital Beltway and is reconstructing four inter-
changes in its 7.5 mile corridor. Reducing delays
from gridlock will save commuters countless
hours, speed truck commerce, and spur local
economic growth. A high-tech marvel, the new
Woodrow Wilson Bridge features eight massive

■ McConnell Public Safety and
Transportation Operations Center
Wednesday, June 3
9:00AM – 12:00PM
The McConnell Public Safety and Transportation
Operations Center (MPSTOC), an approximately
147,000 square-foot facility, is a partnership
between Fairfax County and the Commonwealth
of Virginia that brings multiple public safety,
transportation and emergency management
agencies and functions together under one
roof. The mission of this partnership is to
enhance the effectiveness of public safety
response, improve traffic congestion manage-
ment, and better manage the response to and
recovery from major emergencies.
This state-of-the-art center has a 12,000 square
foot operations communications floor that houses
the Virginia Department of Transportation’s
(VDOT) northern region transportation operations
center (TOC), Virginia State Police Division 7 call
takers and dispatchers, and Fairfax County’s
Department of Public Safety Communications
(Fairfax 9-1-1 Center scheduled to go live July
2009). It also houses a 3,600 square foot
Emergency Management Center overseen by
Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management.
VDOT’s TOC is a high-tech command hub man-
aging some of the nation’s busiest roadways.
Operators in the center use real-time video,
new ATMS software, communication devices,
and field equipment that total more than 5,000
pieces of equipment to monitor congestion,
manage incidents, plan traffic efforts, and
respond to emergencies. Operators also pro-
vide valuable information to the general public
via VDOT’s statewide 511 Traveler Information
system. MPSTOC served as the command cen-
ter for the Commonwealth of Virginia’s regional
traffic management and incident response plan
for the recent presidential inauguration.
■ Potomac Consolidated TRACON
Wednesday, June 3
10:00AM – 2:00PM
Potomac TRACON provides radar air traffic con-
trol services and is the radar facility serving the
Washington, DC metropolitan area. TRACON
handles departing and approaching aircraft
within its space. Potomac TRACON manages
airspace over 23,000 square miles covering five
states and provides air traffic control services
to 124 public airports. A TRACON is an air traffic
control facility usually located within the vicin-
ity of a large airport. Typically, the TRACON
controls aircraft within a 30-50 nautical mile
radius of the airport between the surface and
10,000 to 15,000 feet.
■ Potomac and Rappahannock
Transportation Commission Transit
Operations Center
Wednesday, June 3
12:30PM – 3:30PM
The Potomac and Rappahannock
Transportation Commission (PRTC) Transit
Operations Center is a pioneer in the use of ITS
technologies for providing flex route (route
deviation) suburban bus services. OmniLink,
PRTC’s flex service, is open to the general pub-
lic to serve all populations without the need for
separate fixed route and paratransit services.
PRTC’s fleet of 22 low-floor buses are equipped
with touch screen mobile data terminals (MDTs)
to provide route manifests; on-time perform-
ance; route guidance; covert (emergency) noti-
fication; automatic stop recognition, and text
messaging capabilities. PRTC’s dispatchers are
also provided real-time and predicted arrival
information to aid them in keeping service on
time. Technologies include: Trapeze Flex sched-
uling / dispatching software; GreyHawk’s vehi-
cle tracking software (PTS Tracker) and MDTs;
GPS; and GPRS data communication. PRTC is
also developing a strategic plan for implemen-
tation of additional ITS technologies, including
real-time passenger information for its fleet of
more than 100 commuter buses.
POST-CONFERENCE TECHNICAL TOUR
■ Maryland State Highway Administration Statewide
Operations Center (SOC), Prince George’s County TRIP
Center & FedEx Field (Redskins Stadium) Command
Post Tour
Thursday, June 4
9:00AM – 1:30PM
Operating 24 hours a day, the statewide operations center (SOC) is
the “nerve center” and the command and control facility responsible
for managing all statewide operations. The SOC is supported by a
state-of-the art system that uses the latest in intelligent transporta-
tion systems (ITS) and communications technologies to gather and
analyze real-time traffic and emergency and weather information
from across the state and offers both automated traffic management
responses and recommended actions to system operators. The SOC
coordinates traffic management and emergency functions with the
Maryland Transportation Authority Operations Center (AOC), and in
times of crisis, with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency’s
(MEMA) Command Center.
The Prince George’s County Traffic Response and Information
Partnership (TRIP) Center was developed to manage the operations of
the county’s transportation system. The Center enables Department of
Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) personnel to monitor and
control transportation operations by collecting and analyzing traffic
data and by disseminating relevant transportation information to the
public, transportation providers, emergency service providers, area
schools, and area businesses. Some of the facility-features that the vis-
itors can expect to see during this tour are: traffic video on the Web;
video transcoding for bandwidth conservation; DMZ Web server to
serve large number of users; fully-actuated closed loop signalized
intersections; real-time communication/fiber optic communication with
various signals; point-to-point wireless broadband communication;
broadband communication over voice grade copper; broadband com-
munication through 3G network; LED program; UPS program; Web-
based temperature sensor systems for snow operation; and
Web-based system for citizen complaints handling.
In addition, the tour will include a short trip to the FedEx Field (Redskins
Stadium) Command Post, which is utilized as the primary command
center to manage in-bound/outbound traffic during Redskins games
and air shows at the Andrews Air Force Base. The final stop on this
tour will be the Maryland State Highway Administration SOC.

ANNUAL MEETING TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE

ITS America will present a “City Streets”Technology Showcase staged on the streets of National
Harbor. Only a 30-second walk from the 150,000 square feet exhibit hall, the outdoor technology
