Overview
Background:
The Footprint Analysis project team has developed a preliminary general concept of a national connected vehicle (CV) field infrastructure footprint. The team was co-led by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in cooperation with partners in the CV field. The Footprint Analysis helped the team to conceptualize a policy foundation for the CV environment, including a set of desired outcomes, which include:
•A description, for State and local investment and decision makers, of the justification for and value of the deployment of connected vehicle infrastructure
•A compilation of the possible data, communications, and infrastructure needs of the priority applications
•A set of generic deployment concepts (at a high level of engineering detail) that relate the infrastructure to the applications (or bundles of applications) and their needs under different operational conditions
•A set of State and local scenarios identifying how and where agencies might implement secure, CV infrastructure; the possible funding strategies to support such deployment; and a synthesis of these scenarios into a preliminary national footprint of CV field infrastructure
•A set of activities and timelines for deploying CV field infrastructure across and among State and local agencies
•Estimates of potential costs for deployment, operations, and maintenance
•Estimates of workforce and training requirements and a list of identified policy and guidance needs
•Identification of implementation challenges and institutional issues, and a timeline for resolving them The purpose of this analysis is to describe the fully deployed CV field infrastructure footprint, to identify the activities and project timelines needed to deploy that footprint, and to estimate costs associated with the deployment. These elements build upon the prior Applications Analysis, the Deployment Concepts, and the Deployment Scenarios developed as part of the Connected Vehicle Infrastructure Footprint Analysis.
Agenda:
