Electronic Vehicle Identification: Industry Standards, Performance, and Privacy Issues

In this research product, industry standards for dedicated short range communications (DSRC) are reviewed, followed by an evaluation of costs and performance. Privacy concerns regarding collection and use of data on vehicle movements are examined in the context of existing and potential legislation, and issues in electronic vehicle registration are introduced. Ultimately, this research project will develop recommendations for vehicle identification/registration systems with the potential to link the tolling function to other transportation system management functions.
