Using Cellular Messages to Augment BSM for Mobility Applications
§Most mobility applications do not require BSMs 10 times per second
§Many applications require data captured over a wide area, not just localized data near a roadside unit (storage and/or wide-area communications needed)
§Possible Approach:
□Vehicles transmit BSM Part 1 plus key Part 2 elements less frequently
□Transmit via DSRC when available, Cellular otherwise
§Augmenting BSM with key Part 2 elements via Cellular provides the vehicle data needed to support nearly all mobility applications
