Revisiting V2X technology for the UAE

What is V2V/V2X

802.11p aka DSRC

Dubai: A Connected City

If this is the goal, we need to benchmark the other markets

The Current Status• Japan• Europe• United States• UAE

JAPAN

Toyota V2V + V2X Projections

Japan• Toyota put V2V/V2X in its Japanese models as

“ITS Connect”

Japan: Turn Caution

V2X: Turn Signal Information

EUROPE

Europe: V2V + V2X

Tilburg Pilot• Tilburg

Pilot includes portable DSRC module

• Mobile app tied to V2V

Use V2V to tell ‘rubber neckers’ to slow down

• They are seeing congestion reduction

• Data not compiled yet

Tilburg Road-Side Unit• Cohda Wireless

Road Side Unit • Captures 1km

from RSU to surrounding cars

• Cohda Wireless used for turn signals

UNITED STATES

United States• 1999 FCC allocated 5.9GHz (5825 –

5925 MHZ) for DSRC• Goal was to reduce fatalities– 37,000/yr

• Reduce congestion– $87B/yr

• Dec 2016, NHTSA was to announce DSRC guidelines

US DRSC Spectrum

US Elections and V2V

Current political climate most likely will delay implementation of V2V/V2X

V2V/V2X IN THE UAE

UAE + GCC• Current spectrum is used for Earth-

to-space / mobile communication• Qatar is currently discussing

allocating 5.9GHz for DSRC at GCC level

UAE and V2V

Range Makes a Difference

PROPOSALS ON HOW V2X CAN HELP THE UAE

Top Reasons for Accidents in UAE

• Sudden Lane Change• Misjudgment• Not Enough Distance• Entering Road without Checking if Clear• Speeding• Lack of Attention• Jumping Red lights

Source: Ministry of Interior

#1: Sudden Lange Change• V2V/V2X will

help with– Lane Change– Blind Spot– Talking to Road

Signals with lead time

– Ability to speak with pedestrians with V2X phones

#2: Misjudgment

• Ability to talk to cars and infrastructure to help make better judgments

#3: Not Enough Space• Milliwave radars

give spacing today – So much space

drivers fill it in• DSRC will tell all

drivers how much space to keep with lower latency than milliwave

#4 Entering Road without Checking if Clear

• Ability to check in 360 degrees in 3ms to make sure entering roads will not be an issue

#5 Speeding

V2V/V2X will only give information to drivers

#6 Lack of Attention• Audio • Visual• Audio + Visual

TOYOTA RESEARCH:- AUDIO ONLY -1S- VISUAL ONLY -.85S- AUDIO + VISUAL -0.5S

#7 Jumping Red Lights

Siemens Smart Road Signal Technology• This is built on the same DSRC stack created by

Cohda Wireless

HOW TO BRING V2X TO THE UAE

The Siemens Road Side Unit (RSU)

The Benefits• Reduction in congestion can save

$2B/yr in the UAE• Zero Fatality Goal by 2020 will need

V2V & V2X– Currently at 6 deaths/100,000

The Challenges• Spectrum allocation

– TRA follows European standards– 5.9GHz should be possible

• Internal and External Stakeholders– Public Level

• GCC• Federal• Emirates

– Private Level• Road & Transportation Companies• Software Developers• Consultants• OEMs – they are already developing V2V solutions
