V2X vehicle road usage

A vehicle for monitoring road usage via V2X communication, comprising:

• a telematics control unit (TCU) programmed to
• receive, via the V2X communication from one of a plurality of RSUs, usage metrics that specify costs per unit distance for traversing lanes of a roadway;
• utilize a local counter to accumulate, according to the usage metrics,
• a usage amount indicative of a cost incurred by the vehicle for overall usage of the roadway according to a distance that the vehicle travels along the lanes of the roadway;
• compile anonymized data indicating routing of the vehicle along roadways over time and location;
• broadcast the usage amount and the anonymized data, via the V2X communication, for receipt by one of the plurality of RSUs;
• and
• receive, via the V2X communication from one of a plurality of RSUs, updated usage metrics that incentivize alternative routes to routes traversing roadway areas of high roadway usage, the areas of high roadway usage being determined according to the anonymized data from the vehicle and anonymized data from a plurality of other vehicles.

A method for monitoring vehicle road usage via vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, comprising:

• receiving, from each of a plurality of vehicles via one or more RSUs communicating with vehicles using V2X communication, anonymized data indicating routing of the respective vehicle along roadways over time and location;
• receiving, from each of the plurality of vehicles via the one or more RSUs, non-anonymized usage amounts indicative of a cost incurred by the respective vehicle for overall usage of the roadway by the respective vehicle, the usage amounts being computed by the respective vehicle according to usage metrics broadcast by the one or more RSUs, the usage metrics specifying a cost per unit distance for traversing lanes of the roadway, the plurality of vehicles utilizing local counters to accumulate the cost according to a distance that the respective vehicle travels along the lanes of the roadway;
• identifying roadway areas of high roadway usage according to the anonymized data;
• updating the usage metrics to incentivize alternative routes to routes traversing the roadway areas of high roadway usage;
• and
• broadcasting the usage metrics, as updated, for receipt by the plurality of vehicles.
