The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Robot Systems Division is participating in a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program that is to lead to the recommendation of standards in Vehicle-to-Roadside Communications (VRC) equipment. A standardized VRC system will allow states to check credentials, weight, and safety parameters while commercial vehicles travel at highway speeds of up to 160 km/h. This will improve the current situation in which substantial time and productivity is lost while commercial vehicles stop and wait for inspections. More sophisticated systems may employ weight-in-motion equipment, on-vehicle sensors to determine brake temperature and other parameters in real-time, and other subsystems (navigation, etc.) capable of generating relevant data. This communications link will serve an important role in passing data between various on-board intelligent control system computers and the roadside systems. Numerous incompatible VRC designs and protocols exist, or are being developed. The deployment of incompatible systems will not result in transparent borders, where a truck can pass, for example, from one state to another without stopping. A standard is to be developed or chosen that will meet current and projected requirements, such as those of the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS). NIST interacted with various users, VRC equipment manufacturers, IVHS planners, and other government agencies to determine the current and projected VRC requirements. Fifteen systems and six protocols were examined in this study.
