Connected Vehicle

Roadside Equipment (RSE or RSU)o Costs would be roughly $3,000 to $5,000 per DSRC

Radioo Requires Power-Over-Ethernet (POE)o ~25 feet in air for best performanceo Backhaul connectivity to Internet (cellular, copper, or fiber)

On-Board Equipment (OBE or OBU)o Costs would be roughly $500 - $2,000 per unit – will be

embedded in passenger vehicles by OEMs 2021 – 2023 Traffic Management Center (TMC)o Need to receive messages from RSEo Monitor status of RSE equipmento Typically Web-Based Monitoring and Cloud-Based Data

Major Connected Vehicle System Components



Dedicated Short Range Communication in Comparison to Other Wireless Radio Waveso AM is Amplitude Modulationo FM is Frequency Modulationo 802.11 communications have similar

concepts, but apply phase modulation

General Principles of Radio o The longer the wave, the farther it

goeso The longer the wavelength, the better

it travels around thingso The shorter the wavelength, the more

data it can transport
