COSTS OF IN-VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE

The focus of this report is to develop a cost estimation methodology that makes projections of the costs of in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) and associated infrastructure systems, as well as illustrating the application of the technology. Although the illustration of the methodology is limited to personal vehicles, it can also be adopted to commercial and transit IVIS, as well as to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in general. The methodology involves a "bottom up" approach that calculates the costs of IVIS-related systems based on the costs of their basic equipment components. It also makes use of the concept of market packages of technologies such that IVIS-related market packages costs are estimated for user-defined deployment scenarios. The following IVIS-related market packages are used to demonstrate the IVIS-cost estimation methodology: 1) broadcast traveler information, 2) dynamic route guidance, 3) interactive traveler information, 4) ISP-based route guidance, and 5) intersection collision avoidance.
