V2I Reference Implementation – Concept
  • A system of specifications and requirements that allow the various components of V2I hardware, software and firmware to work together.
  • An agency will be able to select the capabilities and applications desired at a given installation.

Analyzed BSM for DMA, Weather and AERIS
  • Background
  • 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 ~300 meters)


  • The BSM is tailored for low latency, localized broadcast required by V2V safety applications

BSM Analysis Results
  • DMA
    • The data is the right set of data.  Some Applications will work (spot specific).  Need storage capabilities and likely other communication mechanisms to truly gain value. Possible approach:
      • Vehicles transmit BSM Part 1 plus key Part 2 elements less frequently
      • Transmit via DSRC when available, Cellular otherwise
  • Weather
    • The Data in BSM is sufficient.  Possible approach:
      • “Black Ice” warning requires near-instantaneous information while other algorithms operate with data rates from once per second to once every 30 seconds
      • 15 observations per segment (e.g., 1 mile) per time step (e.g., 15 min) should be sufficient for confidence in the application outputs
      • Bandwidth required for data transmission is minimal (85-365 bytes)

BSM Analysis Results
  • AERIS
    • The BSM Part I satisfies the major part of several AERIS applications that compute eco-trajectories for vehicles.
    • Additional environmental information can improve eco-trajectory computations, but is not required.
    • Many applications do not require low latency.
    • There are two approaches for collecting emissions data:
      • Estimate emissions using BSM Part I data
      • Collect emissions data from the vehicle (requires additions to J2735)
    • Need additional data not in BSM for some apps, such as emissions, fuel type, fuel consumption, road grade, road type, engine temperature
