A simulation analysis shows that a 30 percent connected vehicle (CV) penetration rate can reduce total delay up to 60 percent during a no-notice evacuation event.

Findings Scenarios with a CV penetration rate of 30 percent were associated with a 60 percent reduction in total delay, despite an initial increase in delay. Scenarios with a longer duration were…

Refine proper antenna placement on connected vehicles (particularly commercial vehicles) to reduce DSRC ‘shadow’ areas where DSRC signal is degraded.

Connected vehicle deployers should assess field equipment and organizational capabilities that will be needed to support core CV components.

Refine institutional arrangements when deploying connected vehicle technology to outline the expectations of partners in terms of service, outcomes and reporting.

Connected vehicle deployers are encouraged to utilize multi-vendor outsourcing and to source suppliers early to create a collaborative environment that enables as much parallel work as possible.
