Phase III Texas Technology Task Force Activities Report.

摘要

The state of transportation is experiencing disruptive technological, institutional, and cultural changes, prompting transportation agencies to respond to and anticipate the needs of future customers. The Texas Technology Task Force (TTTF) is a strategic initiative that supports the Texas Department of Transportation in navigating change and developing a common vision for the state’s transportation system. Composed of thought leaders from public agencies, industry, and research, the TTTF provides insight into portfolio development, impact analysis, and strategic planning. The Emerging Technology Portfolio includes the following six major categories that may be combined to serve a multimodal purpose: (1) Next Generation Vehicles & Energy, (2) Information & Communications, (3) Infrastructure & Construction, (4) Service-Based Platforms, (5) Materials & Additive Manufacturing, and (6) Other Technologies.. Each technology is then analyzed along four dimensions: (1) Goals, (2) Barriers, (3) User-Groups, and (4) Modes. A primary focus of this phase of work was on developing technical papers on two core strategies, managing customer relationships with data and developing a communication plan, White papers were also developed for freight and logistics technologies, drones, and big data. These papers serve as background pieces for a Strategic Technology Business Plan.
