Abstract

An appreciation is provided of both the UK case for Electronic Vehicle Identification (EVI) and an approach to quantifying the benefits of deploying telematics that facilitates good communication between policy makers, technologists and implementers. Dedicated Short Range Communications provides the best initial deployment of EVI, as it delivers early benefits and isrelatively straightforward to deploy. Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS) may provide longer-term deployments delivering substantially greater benefits. There is the opportunity for an interim deployment which willdeliver some of the benefits associated with GNSS earlier for commercial vehicles. GNSS-based systems could be made more attractive by ensuring a practical migration path from Dedicated Short Range Communication as this would enable greater value to be generated by exploiting investment in other Intelligent Transport Systems. Agreeing a European standard for vehicle to road-side communications is considered key to achieving a sensible migration from Dedicated Short Range Communications to Global Navigation Satellite Systems. For the covering abstract see E134653.
