Abstract:The fundamental premise of the connected vehicle initiative is that enabling wireless connectivity among vehicles, the infrastructure, and mobile devices will bring about transformative changes in safety, mobility, and the environmental impacts in the transportation system. Key federal policy decisions relating to connected vehicle safety needs are currently moving forward. In particular, the work of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to consider a rulemaking for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in light vehicles has received significant national attention. While the future actions of NHTSA and the state and local transportation agencies are independent, and the NHTSA decision will not require agencies to deploy any connected vehicle infrastructure, it is important for the state and local agencies to understand what this action will mean to them, what they need to know to prepare for an emerging connected vehicle environment, and what investments may need to be made to leverage a nationwide fleet of equipped vehicles in support of their own policy and operational objectives. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), with the support of United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Transport Canada, has undertaken a Connected Vehicle Field Infrastructure Footprint Analysis to provide supporting information to agency decision-makers. AASHTO’s work in this analysis has been performed through its Connected Vehicle Deployment Coalition, a group comprising representatives from a number of state and local transportation agencies, and the findings and recommendations in this report represent the opinions of this AASHTO community. In addition, the development of connected vehicle deployment scenarios engaged a broader group of state and local agency participants. This Final Report consists of a vision for a national footprint; a description of the background for and current research on connected vehicle deployments; a set of assumptions underlying the infrastructure footprint analysis; the applications analysis; the deployment concepts, the preliminary national footprint, including the value proposition, deployment objectives, context, scenarios, and experience to date; and a preliminary deployment and operations cost estimation.
