Basic Safety Message (BSM) Fundamentals
  • Connected V2V safety applications are built around the SAE J2735 BSM, which has two parts
    • BSM Part 1:
      • Contains the core data elements (vehicle size, position, speed, heading acceleration, brake system status)
      • Transmitted approximately 10x per second
    • BSM Part 2:
      • Added to part 1 depending upon events (e.g., ABS activated)
      • Contains a variable set of data elements drawn from many optional data elements (availability by vehicle model varies)
      • Transmitted less frequently
    • No on-vehicle BSM storage of BSM data
    • The BSM is transmitted over DSRC (range ~1,000 meters)


  • The BSM is tailored for low latency, localized broadcast required by V2V safety applications
8
Mobility Programs:
BSM Assessment Activity
  • Assess the extent to which the BSM supports or enables mobility applications
    • To what degree is a DSRC-based BSM Part 1 message critical to realizing transformative benefits from mobility applications?
    • What key elements of BSM Part 2 or other vehicle-based data might be needed? Where and how often?
    • Can other messages tailored for cellular communication augment a DSRC-based BSM?
    • As we add data from mobile devices and fixed sensors, how much improvement do we see in application effectiveness?


9
Role of BSM Part 1 Via DSRC In Support of Mobility Applications
  • BSM Part 1 via DSRC  provides the vehicle data needed to support a few mobility applications that require low latency and localized broadcast exchange
    • Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control
    • Queue Warning
  • These applications will likely be successful wherever DSRC-capable roadside infrastructure (RSEs) is deployed
    • Key intersections
    • Major interchanges
10
Key Elements of BSM Part 2 Needed for Mobility Applications
  • BSM Parts 1 and 2 via DSRC  provides the vehicle data needed to support some localized mobility applications

Using Cellular Messages to Augment BSM for Mobility Applications

Summary of Initial Assessment:
BSM and Mobility Applications
  • The Mobility Program (DCM/DMA) is currently engaged in a research program intended to identify:
    • Key Part 2 and other vehicle-based data elements required by high-priority mobility applications
      • Required frequency and latency
      • Likelihood of OEMs to make this data available publicly
    • Requirements for data storage on vehicles
    • Identify potential targeted use of triggers to reduce data redundancy
    • In conjunction with the safety/policy program, identify business and financial models to support deployment
    • Examine vehicle data needs in light of additional data from mobile devices and fixed sensors
