Does V2X include legacy vehicles alongside ELD-equipped fleets, or is V2X-native required?
The solicitation references V2X integration for traffic management. Does "X" include non-connected legacy vehicles operating alongside modern ELD-equipped fleets? Our core innovation is dispatch optimization for mixed human/AV environments — understanding whether FHWA expects a fully V2X-native solution or a hybrid approach will determine our technical approach.

There is no stated preference. The topic explores an innovative and technically sound Edge-AI/V2X architecture capable of predicting, detecting, and mitigating local traffic congestion. SBIR applicants are encouraged to choose the best-fit V2X solution to support the proposed system's functionality. Selections should be based on considerations such as cost, latency, security, scalability, and expected users. Please refer to the responses to similar questions regarding communication technology stack flexibility.
