Our Key Challenges Increasing Travel Demand Population increase, intensive development and change in lifestyle Land Constraints 12% of total land used for road and land transport infrastructure Shortage of Labour Truck, lorry and bus drivers Ageing Population 30% aged 65 and above by 2030 4
Our Key Strategies towards a Sustainable Transport Eco-System Reduce Reliance on Private Transport Promoting car sharing and mobility on demand Increase Public Transport Usage Promoting and Making public transport accessible and reliable Encourage Cycling and Walking For first-mile and last-mile travel Sustainable Transport Eco-System 5
Value Propositions of Autonomous Vehicles Increase productivity Autonomous buses to tackle problem of labour shortage Increase road safety AVs enable ageing population to maintain freedom of mobility while ensuring safe driving Optimise road capacity AVs enable ageing population to maintain freedom of mobility while ensuring safe driving Enabling new mobility concept in new towns AV Mobility-On-Demand and AV vehicle-sharing schemes to complement walking and cycling in new towns Increase R&D Value-Add Singapore is a Living Laboratory and is ideal for conducting test-bed for AV development and deployment

AV and V2X Test-Bed @ one-north one-north public route for AV testing 4 AVs granted approval Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) beacons Position augmentation V2I information dissemination Surveillance Cameras CCTV placed at strategic and critical locations Real time streaming of video feeds Video recording Enable remote monitoring AV Performance Evaluation System AV Monitoring and Evaluation Manage V2I information dissemination 10
Launch of Request for Proposal (RFP) for Autonomous Truck Platooning Launched in May 2016 and closed in August 2016 - explore AV technology for freight transport in Singapore - manually driven lead truck is followed by a convoy of driverless trucks - Currently in proposal evaluation stage 11
Launch of Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs-NTU (CETRAN) Launched on 1 August 2016 Vision: To be a leading AV Knowledge and Research Centre Mission: To establish national AV testing and certification standards through R&D efforts and to contribute to international developments To build AV R&D testing capabilities in Singapore CETRAN launched event 12
Launch of Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs-NTU (CETRAN) A 1.8-ha test circuit located at CleanTech Park will be developed to support all the AV dedicated testing and certification activities. Artist impression 13
Launch of AV Mobility-on-Demand Trials at one-north On 1 August 2016, LTA signed separate partnership agreements 2 RFI participants - Delphi and nutonomy to : - Test on shared, door-to-door, first-and-last-mile, and intra-town self-driving transportation concepts in the one-north test-bed. - Develop and test autonomous mobility-on-demand (MOD) services for point-topoint mobility. 14

V2X Initiatives in Singapore 16
Next-Gen Electronic Road Pricing System Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) 4G and FM-RDS communication DSRC 5.9 GHz (V2I communication) 17
V2I Cooperative ITS Applications Enhance Junction Safety Through V2I V2I technology trial to alert right turning cars/buses of on-coming vehicles and pedestrians 18
V2I Cooperative ITS Applications Providing Vehicle Priority at Traffic Intersections Public Buses Reduce variability in bus movement Enhance commuters travelling experience by reducing waiting time. Emergency Vehicles Facilitate emergency vehicles response time to scene and hospital Save lives in lifethreatening cases 19
Our 5.9GHz DSRC Standardisation Efforts A taskforce comprising government agencies, Industry players and Academic Institutions was formed in 2014 to establish and adopt the 5.9GHz DSRC standards for ITS in Singapore. Public consultation on the proposed regulatory framework and standards was launched in Dec 2015. Target to publish the standards in end 2016 20

There is a need to better manage AV Cybersecurity now as AV prevail. Source: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07- 19/cybersecurity-is-biggest-risk-of-autonomous-cars-survey-finds/ 21
Our on-going efforts on Cybersecurity What has been done: Scan international AV and V2X cybersecurity standards and guidelines, eg. SAE J3061 Identify attack surface and establish cybersecurity requirements Review AV participants threat analysis Next Steps: Establish AV cybersecurity life-cycle management framework Develop AV cybersecurity guidelines, test-cases, incident response plan and repository of attack potentials Conduct Cybersecurity testing on AVs Source: https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/ 22
Looking Ahead AVs provide opportunities to support a sustainable transportation eco-system within Singapore The convergence of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and Connected Vehicles (CVs) is likely to influence and change the way V2X technologies are deployed. Appropriate standards is key to catalyze and support the implementation of V2X technologies in future ITS applications 23
