- Security Back Office Functions – For issuing and management of security
credentials and certificate management
- Communications Network – Necessary after first three years for updating
certificates and certificate revocation lists to all valid system users
- Applications Infrastructure – Infrastructure specifically for V2I safety
(DSRC) or V2I mobility (other options)
- On Board Equipment – Interoperable equipment in vehicles to enable
communication with the vehicle for above functions
- All require sustainable funding

- Four scenarios currently exploring:
- Mostly cellular system
- Mostly cellular with some installation of DSRC RSE
- “All DSRC”
- CAMP Phased Deployment Scenarios
- All findings based on preliminary consultant analysis.

- Cost Drivers:
- Communications costs appear to be substantially greater than the costs
of operating the certificate management entity.
- On-Board Equipment (OBE): significant cost in all scenarios
- Interaction with security system requires different cellular modem in
the vehicles than exist today
- DSRC network requires two DSRC radios
- Costs vary slightly for each scenario due to differing subcomponents
and power consumption needs

- Cost Drivers (Continued):
- Cellular: significant cost in scenarios that rely on it for delivery of
certificates and revocation lists
- Highly sensitive to changes in misbehavior rate, data size, and peak
pricing
- Insufficient coverage in rural and some other areas
- Appears to have significantly higher cost than other scenarios
- Biggest cost driver: delivery of the certificate revocation list
- Satellite Radio:
- Broadcast capability only
- Potentially lowers cellular costs when used to distribute the CRL

- Cost Drivers (Continued):
- Roadside Equipment (RSE): significant cost in the “all DSRC” scenario
- For an “All DSRC” scenario, the number of RSEs nationwide depends on
risk tolerance and coverage requirements:
- Estimates vary from 1300 RSEs to150,000 RSEs
- Unanswered Questions:
- What level of coverage is acceptable?
- How frequently must a vehicle interact with the system?
- CAMP Phased Deployment Scenario
- Delays costs but doesn’t necessarily change ultimate needs

- Technical Performance and Implementation Challenges
- Certificate Revocation List Distribution
- Technically demanding for DRSC scenario (increases CME back office
costs but not necessarily DSRC network costs)
- Most significant cost driver for cellular cost scenarios
- “Misbehavior” rate determines size of CRL
- DSRC RSE Installation, Operation and Maintenance
- Significant challenges for DRSC options
- Placement in state or locally owned equipment cabinets and
rights-of-way would require a significant implementation permitting,
coordination and system integration effort
- Placement of RSE on private property may be an alternative but would
also require a strategy for implementation

- Needs for V2I Safety Applications
- Needs for Mobility and Environmental Applications
- AASHTO National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis
- Preliminary concept for field infrastructure deployed by state &
local agencies
- Could be used by private consortia to design, build, operate, finance
- Compelling justification of agency value
- Provide tools for engaging state agencies
- Bring into focus applications that are of the greatest value to
agencies

- NHTSA has authority to support:
- Key aspects of V2V communications
- Regulation of critical equipment, messages and applications if related
to safety
- Provision of the security required to support a V2V rule by a
non-Federal entity, as through a procurement or other form of agreement
or indirectly via a V2V regulation
- FHWA does not have authority to require installation of roadside
infrastructure

- Does a secure system for two-way data communication to vehicles have
value for commercial purposes as well as for safety?
- What factors influence this value?
- What are potential business models to support a security system for
active safety?
