- The “E-ZPass”, “Title 21”, ASTM V6, and “Sandwich Specification” equipment will continue to be used where cost and regional/national mandates or both require continued operation for those applications that fall within the performance envelope.
- The 5.9 GHz Standards and Equipment will be used for applications that cannot be done with the 915 MHz technology and where service providers want to take advantage of OBUs being built into the vehicles.
- INTEROPERABILITY will be achieved by implementing 5.9 GHz equipment in all DSRC installations. This means adding 5.9 GHz equipment to operate in conjunction with 915 MHz equipment in current and future 915 MHz operations.
- Roadside 5.9 GHz equipment will cost much less than current 915 MHz equipment and per lane installations are few, making dual mode installations very cost effective.
