National Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis
§Will provide:
□Preliminary national footprint of connected vehicle field infrastructure
□Phased deployment plan, along with required actions and funding strategies
□Cost estimates for deployment, operations, and maintenance.
□Estimates of workforce and training requirements
□Policy and guidance needs.
□Identification of implementation challenges and required timeline for resolution
□
This effort is being led by AASHTO

Efforts to broaden this initial nationwide footprint will be accomplished through deployment of high-value, high-priority applications at isolated locations. In the early years, this means emphasis will be placed on the following:

 A focus on commercial vehicles applications where DSRC can be used as a replacement or enhancement to the communications    mechanism in existing systems (such as transponders used for roadside screening or through the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) program)

 Research and implementation of methods that use DSRC for emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP) and transit signal priority (TSP) systems that would replace existing systems

 The identification and deployment of DSRC-based safety applications at isolated high volume, high accident locations where they will provide demonstrable benefits

AASHTO and its members will establish the specific applications to be pursued during the early deployments, shape the desired outcomes, and begin to educate and inform based on initial results.
