Dismantling non-technical barriers to CVIS deployment

The Deployment Enablers subproject of the CVIS Integrated Project provides the integrating strand that links CVIS’ core technical work to the consideration of non-technical issues. It is examining questions such as:

Why would vehicle manufacturers offer - and drivers buy - CVIS equipment and services? Why would operators and service providers invest in the infrastructure of CVIS? 

How can CVIS avoid the obstacles to the universal uptake of the technology? How can the solutions developed be made and sold affordably?

Objectives

• Ensure that the core technologies and applications as developed in the CVIS project are fundamentally deployable and that non-technical issues have been identified and their potential impact on deployment described along with recommendations as to how these issues could be addressed.
• Derive road maps on how to migrate from today’s situation, via an intermediate phase when penetration of equipped vehicles and infrastructure grows to a critical mass, to a future with widespread take-up of operational CVIS, based on transparent deployment and cooperative business models with suitable sharing of responsibilities and liabilities.
