Roadside Unit Deployment of Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure System Based on Digital Measurable Image Method

As the trend of the new generation of intelligent transportation systems, the application of the cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system (CVIS) is important to reduce traffic congestion and accidents. For the cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system, the roadside unit (RSU) is a new application without enough deployment experience. Meanwhile the deployment of traditional mechanical and electrical infrastructure is generally based on experience and is easy to change the design. This paper analyzes the key technical parameters of RSU and the Digital Measurable Image (DMI) method in context of the CVIS. After collecting field data from a smart highway pilot project (the Deqing-Fuyang expanded Huzhou section in Chang-Shen Highway) and matching the DMI method with highway mileage pile numbers, an RSU deployment scheme based on DMI data was completed. It provides significant support for smart highway demonstration projects with cooperative vehicle-infrastructure intelligent management and control applications.
