Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 3 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
Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 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
Sustainable Transport Encourage Cycling Eco-System and Walking For first-mile and last-mile travel
Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 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 Singapore Autonomous Vehicles Initiative (SAVI)

Deployment of V2I technology to alert right turning vehicles of on-coming vehicles 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 life- threatening cases
Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 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

Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 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 Source: https://www.uschamberfoundation.org/ 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
Copyright © 2016 Land Transport Authority 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
