Vehicle Data Model Overview and Gap Analysis

To receive full benefit from vehicle data, the industry needs to align on a standard data model and common approach for moving vehicle data to/from the back-end cloud.  Step one in this essential model alignment is to understand existing approaches and the gaps present in them.  GENIVI recently published a “Vehicle Data Model Overview and Gap Analysis” that provides readers important information for the future data-oriented strategies.

"Alpha" Automotive Virtualization Specification

Virtualization is finding its way into the vehicle but bringing with it proprietary implementations that require vendor lock-in.  GENIVI has consolidated input from several hypervisor vendors to produce an early draft version of a more standard automotive virtualization approach that could serve the industry as a standard for future virtualization deployment.

FARACON Tooling

With a growing trend toward a centralized cockpit, historical in-vehicle operating systems and software must now be integrated.  GENIVI funded and has made available a production quality tool that performs translation between AUTOSAR interface descriptions and descriptions of other systems defined with a promising technology called Franca.  The tool produces bi-directional translations resulting in more rapid integration of AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR solutions like Linux.
