General 2
What Is V2X? Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) + Vehicle To Infrastructure (V2I) = V2X • Direct data connection from a vehicle to another road object • No intermediate infrastructure like cellular stations etc. • To exchange data with moving transport in real time
What Is Involved? Road Side Unit (RSU) installed as a part of active road side, toll equipment, traffic light, etc. On Board Unit (OBU) installed on the vehicle Usually RSU not just transfer data, but process it and do decision making and controlling actions. OBU may be passive (simply respond RSU requests) or active. 4
What V2X Used For? • Collision prevention • Intelligent traffic management • Toll roads • Safety and video surveillance • Data gathering from autonomous vehicles (isolated and temporary isolated fleet) • Remote diagnostics • Backup data channel • Driver/passenger information 5
Why V2X? • Very fast connection set up (no long handshake and short data path) • Predictable response time • Location based approach • Distributed data processing (no or limited functions of a central server) • Real time control and real time feedback 6
V2X Comparison to Other Technologies • There are no technologies which can fully replace V2X or be fully replaced by V2X. • However in some solutions V2X can alternate: • CEN DSRC and other transponder / RFID based approaches for shortdistance low speed communications • Cellular network (including 3G and 4G)for long distance high speed datatransfer 7
What V2X Compete To? • In comparison to CEN DSRC: • Active OBU • Longer distance • Faster data transfer • Faster moving traffic • In comparison to cellular: • Predictable response time • Shorter path to decision • : 8
Where It Came From Initially V2X was initially designed for collision prevention Each car manufacturer has its [good looking] demo of how life can be cool with no accidents if equip all vehicles with V2X-based collision prevention system It will be only working if most of vehicles equipped… …and nobody knows how to do it. 10
What V2X Is? Currently V2X is usually based on IEEE 802.11p, so it is WiFi optimized for moving nodes Reduced channel width Reduced handshake procedure Longer distance data transmission Unified (or theoretically unified) protocols on top 11
Standards • Two systems of standards: IEEE and ISO • Each manufacturer/deploying company selects what to use • Nobody fully meet standard, just declare: no real interoperability • IEEE 802.11p for raw data transfer • IEEE 1609 (WAVE) for exchange protocols • ISO CALM FAST for ITS systems architecture 12
Standards (cont.) • Very fresh (WAVE is just completed) • “War of standards” • No real interest of OEMs • No public implementations (just very early attempts) • Too sophisticated for some tasks • ITS oriented 13
Key Markets for Now • Intelligent Transport Systems • Autonomous fleets, mining equipment etc. • Security services • No real competition on the market [yet]. All projects are special and one goal, one customer and one OEM focused 15
Key Players • ITS Integrators (Kapsch, Autostrada) • Tier One companies (NEC, Denso, Continental) • Independent OEMs (Cohda, Unex, Compo) • Academic institutions • Almost all aproaches (except Cohda and some others) are based on upgrade of existing 802.11 solutions
Market Status Market is just at start of the growing All projects are limited and usually sponsored by governmental or municipal organizations Usually projects are dedicated to given OEM due to non-business decisions Usually one OEM provides all IT infrastructure Almost everything is proprietary and closed source No collaboration between market players except academic and standardizing works 17
Market Conclusion • All products are expensive: • Low price for OBU is $2000, usually >$3000. RSU is much higher (for almost WiFi!) • All products are unique. • Almost nothing available off the shelf • Very small volumes 18
V2X and OSS 19
Marketing Standpoint Market needs a reference implementation • It can stop the “war of standards” • It can help reducing R&D costs • It can give a common basis for interoperability • It can involve wide community of developers • It can make devices cheaper and available for low cost projects and small companies 20
Technical Standpoint IEEE 802.11p is almost WiFi, IEEE 1906 is just a stack RSU is very similar in design to WiFi AP enabled industrial computer OBU is very similar in design to WiFi endpoint enabled ECU/TCU No significant barriers to use Linux and OSS solutions. Componentality makes it for 2+ years, several other companies (like NEC and Unex) do the same without publishing these efforts 21
Typical Set Of Technologies OpenWrt ATHxK drivers WAVE library ITS applications …and nothing else! 22
Why to Invest Efforts? It opens absolutely new and fresh market for automotive companies • IVI market is full of OEMs and suppliers • IVI is in crisis of ideas • ECU doubts in open source solutions • ECU is complicated and has liability risks • ITS is still new, growing and has a number of opportunities 23
V2X Forecast 24
V2X Epochs Roadmap Open Mass market Collision prevention Mixed ITS Isolated projects Shared Investigations Proprietary Early stage 2010 2012 2013 2015 2018 2020 25
Now … • V2X is not an exotic anymore • It is introduced in fleet management and security in dozens of projects • Several ITS projects and pilots are successfully deployed • Standards are mostly completed • Good time to go! 26
… and Later • 2010 – some prototypes for big OEMs • 2012 – limited equipment manufacturers and restricted ITS and fleet management projects • 2013 – BOOM! Dozens of devices, hundreds of deployments • 2015 – becomes an ITS standard-de-facto • 2018 – significantly push CEN DSRC out for ITS projects • 2020 – wide deployment of “smart” roads architecture • 2025 – collision prevention launched • 2030 – mass deployment for cars 27
