Cost Analysis of V2I Deployment | 2 1 Executive Summary This is the final report of a study carried out by Ricardo, with support from our partner Roke, on behalf of the 5G Automotive Association. The purpose of the study has been to analyse different Vehicle-to- Infrastructure (V2I) deployment options from a financial, business and market point of view, while avoiding going into the technical discussion of the superiority of one technology over the other. Therefore, the objective of this report is to improve the understanding of the costs and their variability, as well as the challenges and opportunities around the four deployment options, to inform the development of business cases. The focus is on the EU and US markets and four deployment options were considered, which comprise of a combination of direct and mobile network communications technologies. Mobile network communications with the vehicle supported by the cellular network (Uu) is considered as part of the V2I system in each option, while three of the options also include direct communications (802.11p and PC5) that uses dedicated spectrum. Option A – Pure cellular network-based (Uu) system Option B – Combined system of Uu and an 802.11p-enabled RSU Option C – Combined system of Uu and a PC5-enabled RSU (i.e. C-V2X solution) Option D – Combined system of Uu and a dual radio RSU with both 802.11p and PC5 Research and development activities related to connected vehicle applications have been ongoing for over two decades, and there is now movement towards wider scale deployment of communication technologies in both vehicles and road infrastructure. However, deployment activities have been fragmented and relatively slow due to continued emphasis on research, no common vision of communication technologies and market uncertainty, making it challenging for most stakeholders to develop suitable business cases. A lack of widespread and aligned commitment by vehicle manufacturers, which in part has been caused by unclear regulatory positions, has negatively impacted other drivers and overall confidence in the wider market. In this study, we have performed an extensive literature review and engaged with 25 key stakeholders to gather both primary and secondary evidence on the financial, business and market factors that impact V2I deployment. A cost analysis has also been carried out to provide quantitative outputs that supplement the narrative and support conclusions and recommendations. The study recognises that direct and mobile network communications technologies have distinct advantages and disadvantages, in terms of their technical performance and costs – and so it
