Welcome & Opening Remarks

Darran Anderson, TxDOT & C. Michael Walton, UT Austin

Progress Update

UT Austin Research Team

Report out on key transportation initiatives and progress of the Texas Technology Task Force’s, including
outcomes of the 86th Texas Legislative Session, highlights from ongoing national activities, and the Task Force’s
development of the Technology Utilization Plan.

Panel Presentations: Freight and Logistics Innovations

Moderator: John Larkin, Operating Partner, Clarendon Capital, LLC

Major players in the freight and logistics sector join the Task Force to showcase the cutting-edge innovations
and partnerships that are shaping the way they do business and move goods. Technologies including drones,
blockchain, 3-D printing, automation, and robotics are being piloted and implemented throughout all aspects
of the supply chain. For instance, 3-D printing is altering business models and strategy behind shipping hub
locations, which could dramatically shape long-term freight flows. Meanwhile, robotics and automation are
changing warehouse and hub operations, potentially offering safety and efficiency benefits for companies and
their employees, but also changing the required skillsets and workforce needs. Drones are poised to transform
the physical delivery of goods, especially at the last mile, while blockchain is finding applications in the digital
transfer of goods between shippers or vessels. In this panel and facilitated discussion, the Task Force will learn
about the frontier of freight and logistics operations and how technology will drive major process changes.

Dale Chrystie, Business Fellow and Blockchain Strategist, FedEx Freight (blockchain and 3-D printing)
Robert Brown, Director of Public Affairs, TuSimple (truck automation)
Adriel Lubarsky, Director of Business Development, Udelv (last-mile automated vehicle delivery)*
Russell Laughlin, Executive Vice President, Hillwood (land development and intermodal facilities)

Update on the Texas Innovation Alliance & Task Force White Papers

UT Austin Research Team

The research team presents critical activities of the Texas Innovation Alliance, including participation in national
grants, deep-dive topics discussed in the Communities of Practice, and regional priorities leading up to the
Texas Mobility Summit. The research team presents on major disruptors in the mobility space and key findings
from the 2019 whitepapers on the following topics:
- Mobility-as-a-Service
- Connected Vehicle Applications
- Scenario Planning
- Data Sharing

CAV Roadway Project (Part 1 of 2)

Michael Morris, NCTCOG

Presentation of a concept on designing a key highway corridor to facilitate next generation connected and
autonomous vehicle deployment and testing.

Lunch: The Convergence of Wearables and Transportation

Bryan Groden, Senior Director, Gartner

Wearable technology is filling numerous functions, from personal use as smart wristbands and activity trackers
to industrial-scale operations. In the warehouse, smart glasses combine with augment reality to track inventory
or direct goods picking and packing. Smart gloves can scan barcodes and replace other monitor-based
equipment. Smart watches can facilitate worker communications and alerts. Exoskeletons can reduce the strain
on worker's backs as they lift and carry heavy objects. The result of these technologies can reduce time spent
on repetitive tasks, increase productivity, and decrease errors, but more importantly, can protect the wellbeing
and health of employees in demanding jobs.

The Texas Connected and Automated Vehicle Task Force Update

Zeke Reyna, TxDOT

In Januray 2019, Governor Abbott directed TxDOT to create a Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) Task
Force. The CAV Task Force is designed to be a one-stop resource for information and coordination on all
ongoing CAV projects, investments, and initiatives in Texas.

TxDOT will provide an introductory overview of the CAV Task Force. Following, key public and private
stakeholders will discuss socioeconomic, technical, and policy priorities to inform the future CAV strategies and tactics in Texas.

Panel Presentations: Mobility Data-sharing Across Sectors and Jurisdictions

Moderator: Greg Rodriguez, Best, Best, & Krieger

Increasing complexity in the mobility service environment, such as the advent of new modes and changing
proportion of public and private entities in the space, has made data sharing more important than ever. It is
in all parties, public and private, best interest to agree on systems or methods for data exchange. Luckily, the
same technological innovations that enable many of these new modes also make it possible to transform,
exchange, and transfer data securely, in real time across numerous data architectures. There are numerous
ways to securely and quickly transfer data between transportation entities—what remains is to pick amongst
the options, to find a consensus on the data exchange procedure. This panel will discuss the pros and cons of
extending different data pipelines for data sharing tasks, and how current data reporting and collection
efforts can be applied to solve both internal and external data exchange problems.
