Putting the connectivity in C-ITS: investigating pathways to accelerate the uptake of road safety and efficiency technologies: literature review

There are considerable national and international efforts in accelerating and incentivising the uptake of innovative technologies that can improve road safety as well as the overall performance of transport systems. Communication technologies are enabling the introduction of connected vehicles, which have the potential to both reduce roadway accidents and improve traffic flows. This report provides an overview of some of the trials and simulations that have been conducted for DSRC and Cellular-V2X technology, and notes the benefits which are expected for safety and mobility applications; these include vehicle awareness and warning messaging, as well as sensing and cooperative driving applications. This investigation finds that benefits for awareness applications can be realised at low penetration rates, while other warning and cooperative functions require increasing levels of technology penetration to be effective. To achieve the estimated benefits, several factors must be considered, including the technology deployed, method of deployment (i.e. through aftermarket or original equipment manufacturer technology), and infrastructure deployment requirements for adequate network coverage. In addition to these considerations, some challenges and opportunities faced by key stakeholders in the deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) technologies include regulation and standardisation, human machine interaction factors, and security and privacy issues.
