The deployment of
vehicles into the MD environment is a rolling deployment. At launch there
were about 450 equipped vehicles in the field, and at full deployment, there
will be 2,836 vehicles capable of communicating via DSRC. These vehicles can
be disaggregated into three distinct categories:
|
|
-Integrated Vehicles:
These vehicles were instrumented by the OEMs. They have the ability to
receive and send BSMs and also have safety applications with DVIs integrated
into the vehicle.
|
|
-Retrofit/Aftermarket Devices: These devices were developed typically by
Tier 1 OEM suppliers, and are stand alone devices. They have the capability
to receive and send BSMs and also have safety applications with stand-alone
DVIs that are NOT integrated into the vehicle.
|
|
-Vehicles Awareness Devices: These devices were also
developed by OEM suppliers and are stand alone devices. They only have the
capability to send BSMs to other vehicles and do not have safety
applications.
