• Abstract:
  The Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) Tool (V2I BCA Tool) prototype was developed to help transportation agencies explore the potential benefits of V2I technology in the context of uncertainty around future fleet uptake in on-board units (OBUs), future deployment of automated vehicles (AVs), and the uncertainty around the expected effectiveness and interaction of these technologies on safety, travel time, emissions, and other benefits. The tool uses a BCA framework and flexibly allows users to test potential outcomes given scenarios for different OBU and automation deployments and technology effectiveness.
  
  The total size of the zip file is 498 KB. The Portable Document Format (PDF) file format was developed by Adobe Systems and represents two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. There are PDF readers available on many platforms, such as Xpdf, Foxit, and Adobe's own Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF readers/viewers or online services for basic functions are generally free (for more information on .pdf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/pdf-file-extension). The .r file type is related to R programming language. R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics (for more information on .r files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/r-file-extension). The file extension .md is among others related to texts and source codes in Markdown markup language. Markdown is a lightweight markup language, to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML) (for more information on .md files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/md-file-extension). The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension).
