... 9 • At the most basic level, benefits from the V2I applications listed in Table 2-1 can be categorized as external or internal to the DOT. o External or societal benefits result when improved service is directly provided to transportation system users in terms of safety, mobility (to include congestion relief)
From page 22...
... 10 • As indicated in the last column of Table 2-1, more than half of the listed V2I applications depend on safety-critical or time-critical wireless communications. The criticality of communications refers to the speed with which information is exchanged between CVs or AVs and RSUs integrated with traffic control systems (e.g., signal controllers)

... 15 Key observations and decision-making rationale derived from the Table 2-2 readiness assessment include the following: • Uncertainty about the wireless radio communication technology that will prevail will have a major impact on the market penetration of private autos that come with integrated, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) -installed OBUs.

... 16 of DSRC in the event C-V2X becomes the industry standard, agencies must plan the investments to limit financial impacts and be prepared to adopt new technologies at the lowest possible cost. o Where the DOT may not wish to commit to DSRC, it can invest in other technologyagnostic options (e.g., DSRC and C-V2X compatible RSUs)
From page 29...
... 17 2.2.2 Assessing Readiness of V2I Applications based on DOT Pilot and Test Bed Activities and Plans This section assesses the readiness of V2I applications by examining the existing set of DOT pilot, test bed, and early deployment activities. It augments observations from these DOT activities with select statements of intent made in several DOT CV planning documents.

... 19 While the popularity of an application does not mean it is ready to be deployed at scale immediately, it does indicate the level of interest among DOTs to study it and document its benefits. From this standpoint, the applications in Figure 2-2 illustrate the viability of certain priority V2I applications.
