DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
The primary goal is to create a foundation of DSRC based CAV connected network
communications that combines both a scalable equipmment based deployment
strategy and a business model to monetize network capacity for revenue generation
from the network. In short, the pilot seeks to monetize a network solution such that
costs of expansion and operation are derived from the network or system.
The scope of this RFP and the response may include, but is not limited to, the purchase of
new equipment, mechanisms for data backhaul and storage, solutions for power, potential
upgrading of existing assets, configuration, and professional services for implementation,
testing and validation. The requirements set forth in this RFP serve as a minimum
guidelines for Oakland Countys intent to prove a deployment strategy and valid business
model through a selected vendor.

DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
3.2 Background and Findings Guiding the Development of a Plan for CAV
Deployment in Oakland County
a) Government is at risk of losing control. The government must preserve its ability
to protect and enhance public safety on its roadways while advancing new
transportation technologies. It seems simple, but there is a misguided
presumption amongst government officials, transportation departments, road
commissions, and others, that public rights of way (ROW), and its regulation, is
the controlling aspect of roadway safety. Connected vehicle technology renders
that presumption moot and demands the conclusion that transportation safety is no
longer about the dirt a public body owns, roadway design, or the color and
placement of visual signs. Public safety is also about airspace and the control of
the licensed broadband spectrum that exists within it.
It is not feasible, nor smart, to allow a third party communications entity access
and use of public rights of way in an attempt to implement safety related
infrastructure and messaging. Private for-profit corporations are not in business to
prioritize safety, therefore the means to control safety prioritizations of channels
or messaging must remain within control of a publically based entity or authority.
The communications industry is fighting for additional spectrum and access to
ROW for two basic reasons:
(i) The DSRC bandwidth is valuable for consumer driven commercialization and;
(ii) ROW is free dirt not subject to traditional regulation. The hope that the
private sector would add incident management, crash avoidance oversight or any
other public sector responsibility, at the expense of the shareholders is an
untenable argument. Any such prioritization would require a government mandate
for which there is currently no present authority.

DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
d) DSRC works and is tested. The associated WAVE standards developed by the
IEEE (derived from the protocol standards for WiFi), constitutes an open platform
for vehicular wireless communication. While WiFi is used mainly for wireless
Local Area Networks, DSRC is intended for highly secure, high-speed wireless
communication between vehicles and the infrastructure. DSRC works within a
dedicated and licensed frequency. The latency of cloud-based applications does
not work in safety environments and the 5G network is not only not yet created, it
is being multi branded and coopted by numerous commercial entities. NHTSA
has properly issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that V2V
communication shall be conducted via DSRC. This is significant, as the
automotive industry has based its V2V technologies in this spectrum. For safety
to succeed, the 5.9GHz band allocated for ITS cannot be sold or divided and must
remain an asset for use by government-based facilities managers and network
operators.
5
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
Hanging a dozen, or even a few hundred, RSUs throughout the County will not
begin to cover the area necessary to create a connected vehicle environment that
provides ubiquity in the network. Unlike when cellular technologies came to
market in the 1990s there cannot be a slow roll out of the infrastructure
supporting the communication. Therefore, any effort must be premised on a
business model that allows for full deployment, or at least the means to reach that
target through a proven revenue model supporting equity investment.
Extrapolating these facts to our region or state, the real challenge begins to reveal
itself. The number of jurisdictions to coordinate is daunting.
g) The aftermarket. More than 220 million cars, currently in the United States car
park, possess an OBII Data Port and more than 300 million vehicles operate on
the roads. If North America continues to produce 16 million units per year, an
assumption that is likely high, it will take more than 10 years to turn over the car
park. Even with the natural turn over through OEM new car sales, it will be more
than 20 years before entire product platforms have uniform safety capacity.
Waiting for an OEM solution does not create the scale of absorption amongst
consumers that justifies the return on investment required to deploy
infrastructure in a ubiquitous manner. The DSRC/WAVE platform allows for
low cost on-board units to be installed in aftermarket vehicles, where the so-called
Retrofit Safety Device (RSD) version of these OBUs also protects the vehicles
OBD-II data port from cyber-attacks, and provides mobile Internet connectivity
with a throughput potential equivalent to 4G LTE (depending on the density of
6
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
RSU deployment). This opens the consumer market for applications driving
demand, creating safety by default.
The adoption and strategic implementation of a business model that engages each
of these findings, and others that dertive out of this process, that can be tested and
validated, comes with no compromise to motorist or pedestrian safety, in fact this
effort will only serve to enhance and improve safety.
It is acceptable to provide any large maps, E size or larger, on, USB Flash Drive
or attached paper copies.

DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
The requirements set forth in this section of the RFP serve as a minimum guideline for
Oakland County in its selection of a solution. The requirements have been grouped into
sections, General Business Objectives, Business and Technical Requirements,
Deliverables, Implementation Services Requirements, Information Security Requirements
and Licensing Requirements
The DSRC spectrum is essentially a public good which, if exploited in a way that
maximizes its market value, provides the means to bridge the funding gap for deployment
of roadside infrastructure that has been recognized by most DSRC stakeholders as the
most important question needing resolution in order to move forward. Oakland County
believes that the tools required to accomplish this can be developed based on the inherent
capabilities designed into the WAVE standards.
Therefore, Oakland County seeks qualified partners(s) to develop, plan and implement a
near term solution in the form of a pilot network and a long term scalable solution for
region wide connected infrastructure deployment. Any vendor will be expected to
perform at a minimum within the intentions of the busniess objectives of this RFP,
summarized as follows:
8
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
At a minimum, Respondents must define in their proposals how their solutions will
address the following:
4.2.1 Constraints
9
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
Respondents shall ensure that any new proposed applications using DSRC Service
Channels shall be entirely subordinated to the priorities of traffic management,
roadside alerts and other road management or safety-related DSRC applications
which may be independently deployed by RCOC or MDOT. As such, the
successful proposal must include a detailed explanation of the mechanisms used
to avoid situations in which the bandwidth consumed by new proposed
applications impedes the effective operation of independent road management or
safety-related DSRC applications.
10
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
4.3 Deliverables
The following tasks describe the Countys expectations regarding the areas that should be
addressed in developing a DSRC Based Network Plan:
4.3.1 Task 1: Define the fundamental action steps required to develop a near term
solution for a pilot DSRC network initiative for the County, including an
assessment of how the existing assets and other supporting municipal
infrastructure can be leveraged and maximized. Set forth how information and
data used and acquired in the near term pilot may be likewise leveraged to deploy
a countywide network. This task should provide examples or methodologies of
the strategy and implementation of an effective DSRC network and how such
network may be used to enhance the delivery of transportation based services, in
addition to providing the general public and businesses with connectivity, either
as an amenity grade service in certain areas of the community or as a
countywide service that may be subscription-based.
11
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
4.3.3 Task 3: Deploy a Pilot DSRC network covering and connecting without
service interruption not less than eight(8) continuous intersections. Such
deployment may be at or about the locations described in the following Map, or at
such location(s) as recommended by the respondent. The deployment shall
comply to the constraints and specifications outlined in this RFP. It is
acknowledged that access and use of the proposed locations shall require the
cooperation of additional agencies.
4.3.4 Task 4: Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the business models
that may support the network and make a recommendation based on the needs of
the County and various potential users of the network. Potential business models
would include, but would not be limited to the following:
a) County-owned model: the network is owned and operated by the
County.
12
DSRC Pilot CAV Network RFP
4.3.5 Task 5: Upon deployment, and after a period of continuous use of the
Network, and in consultation with County staff, present the findings resulting
from the DSRC Pilot Network and recommendations for next steps to select
members of the County Commission and the County Executive office.
4.3.6 Additional Functionality. Value added tasks and functionality, not listed
above, would be considered during the evaluation of all proposals. If a proposed
solution contains any other features, which are not listed above, the respondent is
encouraged to include the description of the functionality in their proposal.
Every respondent shall provide an itemized Price Proposal. Quote costs for all hardware,
software and services described in this RFP. Each major component, including integrated
software and hardware elements, shall be identified by common names. Unit prices and
extensions (if applicable) shall be quoted for each component or basic subsystem. Any
and all items needed to achieve the proposed strategy, deployment, maintenance and
analysis shall be identified and priced. Any and all additional charges (i.e., shipping,
installation, insurance etc.) shall be quoted.
13
