Car2Cloud Solutions for car platforms

This introduction is taken from a note prepared by Bosch.

Introduction 

  • V2X Solutions (called C2X in Europe) are the key elements for the Connected Car of the future. Nevertheless, a width variety of overlapping standards and application are under development.
  • Also the name “V2X” is used on the one hand for safety related applications based on dedicated radio links and on the other hand for IoT-style applications based on standard mobile radio links, IPv6 based data traffic and cloud data solution.
  • An overview of these technologies could be found here[1]. Although not being a complete list, some of these aspects are discussed below
  • [1]https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321088744_An_Overview_of_3GPP_Cellular_Vehicle-to-Everything_Standards

Safety related V2V, V2I and V2N

  • For safety related V2X applications, a dedicated frequency range is reserved around 5.9 GHZ. ETSI and the Car2Car Communication Consortium developed a modified WLAN radio link (ITS-G5), whereas the 5GAA developed a 5G based radio link. Both use above this a common network layer.
  • The Autosar consortium started to collect requirements for safety related V2X systems.

Information related V2X systems

  • W3C together with GENIVI worked on defining signals and protocols to transfer vehicle state information to cloud based application.
  • The Sensoris consortium defines standards for transferring vehicle sensor information to cloud based applications. They look at sensor-information sensing the surrounding of the car as well as those related to the movement of the car. Some OSS implementations of API´s could be found here.

Automotive IoT and cloud solution

  • Basic IoT technologies for automotive use cases are developed in several Eclipse projects. 
  • The Kuksa project aims at developing a cross-vendor connected vehicle ecosystem that relies on open standards and utilizes open source software to leverage the potential of a large developer community.
  • It comprises an in-vehicle platform, a cloud back-end building on Eclipse IoT technologies and an integrated development environment. for V2X scenarios.[2] It is based on an Open Source development model.
  • [2] https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2018/july/kuksa.php

Further GENIVI Activities

  • GENIVI intends to define a reference SW architecture and middleware components to harmonize vehicle state and sensor information gathering with the generic IoT approach and cloud based application. The reference architecture targets also the infrastructure side of V2X scenario
  • Doing this, it is a given that existing standards and protocols will determine the architecture. In addition, a close connection to existing alliances and working group will be perused.
  • Consistency with safety related V2X application will be a major concern in this approach. Therefor the GENIVI V2X activities will be embedded into the GENIVI Domain interaction strategy. 

History & Minutes of BoF discussions

Webinar on Eclipse Kuksa

...

  • *OCF Automotive*
    • /TODO/ Philippe contact Sanjeev to know OCF Automotive status DONE
    • (Sanjeev provided the following feedback The project might get a new lead. I can introduce you to the person who will be in charge (not a Samsung person).
  • *Sensoris*
    • /TODO/ Gerald contact Sensoris
    • not done yet
  • *ISO Extended Vehicle*
    • Gerald will have a call about ISO work on extended vehicle on Monday 17/9, will be provide feedback on this during the next call
  • *W3C*
    • Gunnar is focusing rather on the vehicle interface (and not on the big data interface)
    • we look at the car to cloud connectivity diagram used by W3C in their data TF
    • reminder: W3C considers Web standards are applicable to everything
    • Phil: is hortonworks using web standards ?
    • Gunnar: afaik no, w3C is not using a fairly efficient data transfer
    • hortonworks surely provides tool for modeling the data usage in the green boxes
    • /TODO/ Gunnar restart the liaison with horton works
    • Phil: reminds about the vehicle-to-cloud connectivity architecture brought up by the European Association of Car Manufacturers, it includes also the neutral server approach as in the caruso-dataplace diagram shown before
  • *caruso*
  • *gavda*
    • /TODO/ Steve check what gavda is about (it is a US organization)
  • *kuksa*
    • /TODO/ Gerald get more information about kuksa
    • Gerald: no update

During the board meeting, a decision to dig into V2XD/Mobility topic was made and Bosch volunteered to bootstrap on this
