Final Report PRE-DRIVE C2X 29.9.2010
Also a scenario for Road Side Unit implementation was defined. Accompanying
investment and maintenance costs were calculated and projected to the business
cases. Table 4 explains the calculations
Table4: RSU costs
An overall assessment on the costs of the PRE-DRIVE related infrastructure was
made based on the business case evaluation, information on cost of sales of the on
board units, and the expected annual CMU costs.
The information on expected revenues was determined on the basis of expert
interviews. The insurance use case in particular resulted in concrete revenue or
willingness to pay/ invest information. The focus was on the fact that when
implementing specific insurance use case functionalities in the car, the insurance
companies can significantly reduce the costs per claim and will therefore be willing
to pay a specific amount to the OEMs for data provision. Assumptions on amounts
are included in the financial model.
Also qualitative conclusions of several ‘new” services are described in the business
case.
The results of the business case calculations provide the net present value and the
internal rate of return for each business case.
Moreover, sensitivity analysis was performed when varying penetration rates of
OBUs and Road Side Units as well as other variables were taken into account.
