There is a significant interest in researching methods to improve V2X cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and the development of a decision support tool for deployment for different stakeholders. To develop a framework that allows the assessment of the safety and traffic impacts of V2X technology and provides actionable insights for deriving safety, reliability, and connectivity requirements.
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology holds immense promise for boosting transport efficiency and safety, yet adoption remains stalled by steep infrastructure costs, fragmented standards, and misaligned OEM incentives. To overcome these barriers, the Mobility Center of Excellence teamed up with the UCLA Anderson School of Business AMR (Applied Management Research) program—engaging MBA students as part of their capstone projects—to explore holistic, sustainable business models that align industry profitability with broad societal benefits. The resulting Business Models for V2X project culminates in a published report and video presentation, offering clear, actionable roadmap alternatives for driving widespread V2X deployment.
The successful integration of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and new mobility solutions into urban environments faces challenges due to the complex interplay of technological advancements, diverse stakeholder interests, and unique local contexts. A lack of coordinated planning and collaboration among key stakeholders can lead to: - Fragmented approaches that lead to inefficient deployments, incompatible technologies, and missed opportunities to maximize the benefits of AVs and new mobility services. - Unforeseen consequences for land use, traffic flow, social impacts, and public acceptance. - Missing opportunities to use new automated vehicles and new mobility to address critical transportation challenges and achieve broader urban development goals. This project addresses this problem by facilitating collaborative, place-based planning processes that bring together stakeholders to develop comprehensive AV and new mobility strategies tailored to the specific needs and priorities of individual cities.
