CENTRAL TEXAS REGIONAL ASOCC

The Clean Energy Tech Center will provide the SH130 ASOCC

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE CORRIDOR

The SH130 Region will be one of the first Intelligent, Autonomous, and Electrified Corridors in the Nation. The Autonomy Institute is collaborating with operating partners, Texas cities and agencies on a regional deployment of Intelligent Infrastructure.

Several commercial developers with properties along the SH130 corridor are providing leadership and collaboration to accelerate deployments. This corridor will activate broadband, advanced wireless, connected systems sensors, assured position-navigation-timing, charging infrastructure, edge computing, and other devices. All to support near-term and long-term services to our communities.

The leadership of the Clean Energy Tech Center (CETC) is providing the critical facilities to enable these advanced services. The CETC facility will also support the nation’s first ASOCC, supporting operations from several industries in a safe, secure, and collaborative environment. This intelligent corridor will support automated freight and delivery; intelligent and autonomous vehicles; and advanced services to communities along the corridor. This Intelligent Infrastructure will eliminate the digital divide and accelerate Texas into the 21st century with jobs, economic growth, and stronger more resilient communities.

The Transportation industry will drive the deployment of the Intelligent Infrastructure that will enable Industry 4.0. Unleashing the largest productivity boom in world history and securing our national sovereignty.

“Investment in a 21st-century Intelligent Infrastructure is among the highest priorities for stimulating economic expansion, national security, and job growth.”

Intelligent Infrastructure Delivers:

  • VISION ZERO

  • BROADBAND ALL

  • OPTIMIZED MOBILITY

  • HEALTH & SAFETY

  • INTELLIGENT CITY

  • RESILIENT GRID

  • AUTOMATE SYSTEMS

Each Intelligent Corridor will activate PINN clusters to support edge computing, NextG, Broadband, and charging stations within regions that have been previously isolated or disconnected. The deployment will support near-term and long-term services to our communities. The SH130 Coalition is developing an integrated deployment plan for the entire 92-mile stretch the highway. The PINNs will support include broadband, advanced wireless, connected systems sensors, assured position-navigation-timing, charging infrastructure, edge computing, etc.

INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Project Omniverse

Active Digital Twins can improve planning activities such as public engagement, scenario planning, and zoning and development. They have the potential to assist planners in reaching local climate resilience, economic development, and housing goals (just to name a few).

The digital twin helps foster collaboration between planning organizations and other city departments and agencies. The Digital Twin is the foundation for city planning, modeling of physical infrastructure, environmental indicators, resource consumption, zoning & regulation, transportation planning, and watershed management. The Digital Twin will require a data exchange with standardized data formats and that support cross-departmental experimentation.

Project Skyhattan

The worlds first RAN network built from the ground up for Machine-to-Machine and Autonomous Systems. Wireless Manhattan Project for ground and low altitude airspace.

Services like Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent Transportation, and Autonomous Systems will require an entirely new network to support any scaled adoption. Edge computing, low-latency wireless, and new spectrum are key. This will be driven by new enabling technologies and standards like OpenRAN, Edge Computing, SDN, and Resilient PINNs. Just as the Internet flattened the proprietary wired network, this new OpenRAN will flatten the wireless networks.

PINN Clusters will lead the creation of the nation’s first Data-As-a-Utility.

Project Chronos

 Providing precise positioning and perception will allow support for more advanced Operational Design Domains (ODD) and accelerate additional use cases. A terrestrial enhanced GPS has become a national priority and will be funding by government and private infrastructure investors.

VOICES, CARMA, DRF, OPENRAN

Project AIRE

Each Intelligent Corridor will activate PINN clusters to support edge computing, NextG, Broadband, and charging stations within regions that have been previously isolated or disconnected. The deployment will support near-term and long-term services to our communities. The SH130 Coalition is developing an integrated deployment plan for the entire 92-mile stretch the highway. The PINNs will support include broadband, advanced wireless, connected systems sensors, assured position-navigation-timing, charging infrastructure, edge computing, etc.

Project ATHENA

Intelligent cities will depend on the creation of “Data-Exchanges”, a sovereignty database of all the information collected by the city IoT systems and sensors. The Data-Exchange will allow secure, private, and transaction sharing of valuable data assets with trusted and approved partners. Data Exchanges will not only support more efficient operations it can become a new economic platform for the city.

Project COMMERCE

Autonomous Systems Operational Control Centers (ASOCC) will support persistent operations to provide safe, secure, and collaborative public and private deployments of the Intelligent Infrastructure that will enable Industry 4.0 systems. As we embrace more advanced systems within cities and states there has to be a unified Active Digital Twin from the power grid up.

Regional ASOCCs would include:

  • Integrated Transportation

  • Teleoperations

  • Cyber Security Operations

  • Autonomous Systems

  • Emergency Operations

  • Advanced Air Mobility

  • Supply Chain Logistics

  • Electrical Grid Resilience

LEADING DEPLOYMENT PARTNERS

This includes compute, network, wireless, fiber, engineering, electric, cloud, intelligent transportation, micro weather, data exchanges, and many others.

OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS AND PROVIDERS

The activation of the Intelligent Infrastructure and a deployed ASOCC will all the collaborative approach required for a Path to Commerce.

THE FUTURE WITH INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE

INTELLIGENT & AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS

PLATFORMS TO ACCELERATE R&D

CARMA℠ is a USDOT initiative

Developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the CARMASM Program uses a multimodal approach to encourage collaborative research on the technology, open source tools, and frameworks poised to improve transportation system mobility, safety, and efficiency.

The CARMA Program is leading research on cooperative driving automation (CDA), leveraging emerging capabilities in automation and cooperation to advance transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) strategies.

NASA Data Reasoning Fabric (DRF)

Transportation shapes society, enabling social interactions and economic opportunities. Advanced Air Mobility offers the promise of on-demand air transportation for people and cargo that can dramatically increase the capacity of our transportation system reducing delays, reducing the impact on the environment and improving the quality of modern life. To keep these air vehicles operating safely in close quarters thousands, if not millions of decisions will need to be made in the vehicles, on the edge and in the cloud. Decision making by either humans or machines can only occur with current, accurate and secure data. Diverse and dynamic data on the status of travelers, cargo, weather, ground infrastructure, flight infrastructure and vehicles are needed wherever these decisions are made. Privacy, noise and safety constraints must also be available to achieve this. We must enable a shift to a web-like ecosystem to support Advanced Air Mobility – a data and reasoning fabric or DRF.

The Autonomy Institute is accelerating the “Path to Commerce” for connected and autonomous systems. We are moving quickly on establishing a number of Autonomous Infrastructure GRIDS and Autonomous Mobility Corridors.

Progress is dependant on petabytes of data being captured by tens of thousands of mission profiles. The Intelligent infrastructure will support accelerated capture of the critical data required to ensure safe, resilient, and scaled autonomous systems.

Time for us to accelerate our OODA Loop. Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.
