Oakland County, Michigan is deploying direct vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology at 112 intersections and in 1,000 vehicles with the goal of enhancing safety and efficiency. 

 Costs to equip each intersection vary based on the existing intersection, but are estimated as follows: 

Item  Cost per Intersection 
Direct V2X Hardware and Installation 

$26,700 

Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Detection System and Installation 

$36,700 

Traffic Controller Upgrade 

$4,900 

Traffic Cabinet Upgrade 

$24,300 

Total Cost per Equipped Intersection

$92,600

 Annual maintenance costs for intersections include: 

Item  Cost per Intersection per Year 
Direct V2X Hardware Maintenance 

$1,641 

VRU Detection System Maintenance 

$483 

Total Annual Maintenance Costs 

$2,124

 For vehicles, the costs include: 

Item  Cost per Vehicle 
V2X Hardware (e.g., On-board Units (OBU))

$2,155 

Installation 

$495 

Maintenance 

$435 per year 

The report also notes that if network V2X is determined to be feasible, deployment costs would be significantly lower. Network V2X would cost approximately $10,529 per intersection compared to $92,600 per intersection for direct V2X, as it would not require VRU detection systems or traffic cabinet upgrades.

System Cost

The cost to equip one intersection with V2X capabilities is approximately $92,600.
