The Automotive Side of VII What is VII? Creating an “Enabling Communication Infrastructure” to support Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications (VII Coalition)
The Automotive Side of VII The Objective of the VII-Initiative To determine if the investment necessary to equip new vehicles and the roadway infrastructure with communications is warranted and can be synchronized. (VII Coalition)
Convergence of Technology Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Telematics Service Providers Traffic Management Center (TMC) Communication Hot Spot (WIFI) Satellite to Vehicle GPS Vehicle- to- Vehicle -to- Roadside Private Sector Uses Vehicle to Cellular DSRC DSRC=Automotive Safety Radio – High Availability – Low Latency
ITS in the US VII – Why now? Wireless communication became ubiquitous in the past 10 years A vast number of standards and chipsets to choose from: a,b,g CDMA2000 EV-DO (Rev A) GSM UMTS EDGE e … p – PHY and MAC for DSRC High Bandwidth for relativly low costs
The Automotive Side of VII DSRC – Unique Capabilities Current Networks in use -Are operated centrally -Have a wide area coverage -Have a high communication latency DSRC Networks -Are operated locally -Can have a dedicated coverage -Have a low latency / high availbility
ITS in the US DSRC is a Short Range Radio Road Side Unit (RSU) 300m (1000m max) - “Hot Spot”-Topology Network High data rate : 6-27 Mbps Data only Half duplex : One-way at a time Security and privacy
ITS in the US DSRC operates at 5.9 GHz Unlicensed UNII-WiFi WiMaxDSRC Frequency - GHz Control Optional 20 MHz HALL* *High Availability and Low Latency
The Automotive Side of VII Active Safety Potential
ITS in the US Goal: Zero Fatalities Fatality Rate Fatalities 42, V I I D e p l o y m e n t “While crashworthiness standards have been and will continue to be very important, we are reaching the point of diminishing returns by focusing only on crashworthiness. The biggest return on investment in terms of lives saved and injuries prevented in the future will come from accelerated development and deployment of crash avoidance technologies.” –Jeffrey W. Runge M.D., Administrator NHTSA
ITS in the US Goal: Zero Delays Hours of Delay VMT Added Capacity V I I D e p l o y m e n t 46hrs/yr 28% 2% In the last 25 years the amount of Vehicle Miles Traveled rised by 28%, but the roadway network only grew by 2%. The result are more and longer traffic delays.
The Automotive Side of VII Possible VII applications Signal Violation Warning Stop Sign Violation Warning Curve Speed Warning Electronic Brake Lights Advance Warning Information to Vehicles In Vehicle Signing Ramp Metering Signal Timing & Adjust Corridor Management Traveler Information Electronic Payment Localized Weather/Road Condition Warning Winter Maintenance Probe Based Mapping
The Automotive Side of VII Possible VII applications But no personal communications like VoIP, SMS, , Etc…
The Automotive Side of VII DSRC – New Opportunities Enabler for Cooperative Safety Functions Vehicle to Vehicle Communication e.g. Rear Crash Warning Vehicle to Roadside Communication e.g. CICAS
The Automotive Side of VII The Role of the Vehicle –Car provides Access to the network –Customer experiences functionality of network through the car –Manufacturer of vehicle is 1 st contact for the customer and network-user
The Automotive Side of VII Institutional Issues Identified Privacy Data ownership Data access Liability Deployment policy issues For a successful operation these issues have to be covered with policies.
The Automotive Side of VII Institutional Issues - Privacy Public Road Private Sphere
The Automotive Side of VII Privacy Privacy will be ensured by Policy… …and supported by communication protocol Anonymous Communication by hardware design for VII-basic safety and mobility services Privacy Policy with Service Provider for supplemental optional VII services
The Automotive Side of VII Proposed Personal Data Limitations Potential Data Use Anonymous data only Opt-in onlyVehicle-specific information not available by design and/or law Vehicle-specific data protected by corporate privacy policies and/or applicable law Public-Sector Transportation XX Public-Sector Commerce X Public-Sector Regulation and Permitting X (unless required by regulation or law) X Enforcement / Collision Investigation X Homeland Security / Surveillance X Private-Sector Commerce X (unless vehicle owner opts in) XX Private-Sector Transportation X
The Automotive Side of VII Standards are a basic requirement! VII is designed based on standards p for physical communication -IEEE 1609 for upper layer protocols and security -SAE for common message set
The Automotive Side of VII Global Research BMW works in the European Car-2-Car- Communication Consortium European Research Programs for Active Safety Look for Synergies in Research
The Automotive Side of VII Summary Today the customer can experience safety and security, mobility and convenience services. In the future VII will provide crash avoidance functions Ensure privacy and robustness of operations Standards enable nationwide usage Look for global synergies in research
