DSRC Market Drivers
Growing Safety Concerns amidst Up Surging Road Casualties
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of collisions of vehicles in many countries. Several applications are being developed for vehicle monitoring activities with the arising need to reduce vehicle crashes. DSRC play a major role in enhancing the safety of the vehicles by providing communication on both V2V and V2I networks. Vehicles are embedded with DSRC on-board units which are effective for all the vehicle range including passenger and commercial vehicles in order to facilitate this communication. Vehicles and Infrastructure act as communicating nodes. This V2V and V2I communication reduces vehicle collisions and improves time and fuel efficiency with the signals given to the driver generated by the DSRC equipment.
Adoption of Smart Digital Tachograph in Commercial Vehicles
The digital tachograph is a more secure and accurate recording and storage device than the analogue tachograph. This device records different activities of a vehicle, for example distance, speed and driving times and rest periods of the driver. The system includes a printer for use in road side inspections and the driver has a card incorporating a microchip, which he must insert into the tachograph when he takes control of the vehicle. DSRC technology in Digital tachograph system are deployed to support vehicle filtering during road controls while assisting the control personnel to take decision whether to stop or not stop the vehicle, thus enhancing the efficiency and throughput of control operations. Increase in deployment of smart digital tachograph will result in the growth of DSRC market.
DSRC Market Challenges
Spectrum Sharing an Impediment to Effective DSRC Implementation
Though DSRC spectrum (5.8GHz and 5.9GHz bands) was set aside for use in vehicle and transportation systems, government is trying to open more spectrum for wireless communication ecosystem for which DSRC is not an exception. Wireless technology companies have been exploring various frameworks to enable ITS and general-purpose communications to share 5.9GHz band. The major concern for 5.9Ghz spectrum is its allocation to Wi-Fi on sharing basis, which may cause unnecessary interference in safety communications. Qualcomm made a proposal for distributing up the spectrum for safety and non-safety applications, instead of sharing entire bands for Wi-Fi. According to re-channelization plan, safety-of-life applications would be utilizing top 30Mhz of 5.9GHz band and non-safety-of-life applications would be provided with lower 45MHz of the band. The automakers have currently supported such distribution but as demand for Wi-Fi connected devices increase manifold, violation of such distribution looks possible in next few years.
