Software Architectures and Security for Connected Vehicular Systems     

On-site Delivery

I.D.# C1216

Printable Description

Duration: 1 Day

The connected vehicle of the future will contain features that fall into three mobile communication and vehicle sensing technology categories: telematics, autonomous systems, and local or short-range communication systems. Effective and safe functionality of these systems relies upon robust software and security protocols.

This class provides an overview of typical connected vehicle applications and services operating on-board the vehicle. The software systems, including protocols and packetization, are examined at an architectural level and not at a detailed programming level. A discussion at the architectural level provides a communication platform that can be used between a wide range of stakeholders (technical and non-technical). Important decisions that affect the detailed software design of applicable systems can subsequently be made earlier in the development process, and existing designs can be evaluated for usability in autonomous connected vehicles.

Learning Objectives

By attending this module, you will be able to:

• Describe how on-board Connected Vehicles applications utilize multiple services
• Create a simple OSGi service or application
• Explain open versus closed loop Connected Vehicles applications
• Demonstrate how ASN.1 encoding can be used to packetize various data structures

Who Should Attend

This course is appropriate for engineers or managers who want a better understanding of the technologies involved in vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure applications. Those interested in wireless communications application to vehicular environments, vehicle positioning systems used for connected vehicles, vehicular software architectures and security, and vehicle system applications such as active safety as they apply to automotive/commercial vehicles will find this course useful.

Other professionals who will benefit from this course include: managers seeking to evaluate technology/ regulation/standardization/business trends; fleet operators looking to increase business productivity, better manage their assets, meet regulatory requirements more efficiently, and improve asset utilization; business stakeholders involved in controlling/exploiting data transmitted from/to vehicles; those involved with autonomous/unmanned vehicles; and professionals interested in the perspective that the mobility, data security, and safety aspects of connected vehicle systems can enhance the reliability and control of driver-assisted vehicles.
