• Interoperability
• Closing the Deal

Merriam-Webster defines interoperability as
the ability of a systemto work with or use the
parts of equipment of another system

• Without Interoperability
• systems operate stand alone and multiple OBE may
  be necessary to traverse multiple systems.
• deployments are forced into sole-source
  single-vendor solutions and costs are higher
  because of inability to realize economies of
  scale.
• system lifecycle is shortened and there may be a
  lack of scalability/functionality due to the
  limits of existing toll system technology/performa
  nce/security.
• deployments have limited ability to innovate due
  to IP protections.

• Interoperability is required for any large-scale
  deployment of a tolling system.
• A 5.9GHz DSRC-based infrastructure is the
  foundation for many beneficial, interoperable
  applications.
• The benefits of achieving and costs of not
  achieving are high.
• The OmniAir Consortium, in conjunction with the
  USDOT, is aggressively developing a technically
  sound process to ensure Interoperability for
  5.9GHz DSRC.
• Interoperability is a process that must be
  pursued early, continuously defended, and
  established to evolve with technology into the
  future.

Deployment Path Tolling may be a commercial
foundation that drives investment, migrating to
other V2I V2V services.

• As roadside and in-vehicle infrastructure is
  deployed, full functionality of safety,
  navigation and other location based services is
  achieved

• Localized applications develop as infrastructure
  is deployed, and payment applications continue to
  drive infrastructure deployment towards the 5.9
  vision

• 5.9GHz DSRC-based tolling and HOT Lane systems
  are viable technologies, driving investment in
  infrastructure to enable more 5.9 services
