On-Board Equipment (OBE) Deployment
Rate
•OBE is in-vehicle equipment that enables vehicle
to be connected to other vehicles and infrastructure.
•Deployment assumes 2013 NHTSA decision with 2
years for rule-making and 2 years for litigation.
•Assumes manufacturers are required to initiate
phase-in of OBEs in 2017 and by 2020, all new light duty
vehicles must have OBE.
•Assumes buses not required to install OBEs. Deployment
is based on trend of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
equipment.
•After-market OBE retrofits are not considered
(for initial BCA).
•Fleet turnover model uses assumptions to estimate
the number of vehicles (by type) on the road each year with
OBEs.
Key Assumptions
