Contribution of a Vehicle Infrastructure Integration System to the Economy of Michigan: Economic and Industrial Impacts Update and Benefit-Cost Analysis

Full Description:

Vehicle infrastructure integration (VII) consists of applying both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication to the tasks of improving safety, enhancing mobility and improving quality of life. VII is a promising use of new and available technologies that could benefit Michigan as the home of the U.S. automotive industry. As a result, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) requested that the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) conduct a study of the economic impacts of VII on the State of Michigan, including the effects on employment and a comparison of net costs and benefits.
