IEEE1451 in IPAC • IEEE1451 standard has inspired the implementation of the Sensing Element Components as “smart sensor”. • The philosophy which the IEEE1451 is based on is one of the features of the IPAC system, namely the uniform treatment of all IPAC sensors. • The standard is still under development and some parts are not well defined. • Commercial products (sensors, dev kit or adapter) are no available, partially available or with very short lifetime • A Java implementation of the IEEE1451 has been performed based on the SUNSpot platform
IEEE1451 software architecture • NCAP component: • - “soft NCAP”, SECproxy OSGI module that provide NCAP functionalities • - embedded in the SEC Proxy service • - new sensor discovery and sensor removal • - sensor data retrieval • - integration with Reasoner, Storage and ECS service • TIM component (Sunspot board): • - SEC midlet on SUNSpot that provide TIM functionalities • - physical sensor reading • - respond to discovery queries • respond to transducer access requests • handle transducer management tasks • support TEDS management functions

IPAC - Platooning Two main scenarios: Road Condition & Road Availability 8 applications Applications have specific business logic Applications react when specific events are triggered Events are based on: messages (data, etc) or sensor values
Scenario 1: Road Condition • A convoy should avoid a non safe area (e.g. ice in the road) • Applications used: • First Vehicle • the node has a vision sensor attached on it but no temperature sensor • reacts in an ice event. The event is triggered based on the vision sensor indication and other vehicles’ temperature indication • in case of an ICE event is sends a warning message to the rest of the vehicles • Convoy Vehicle • has a temperature sensor attached on it • reacts in a warning message by presenting the ICE warning in the application interface
Scenario 2: Road Availability • Two convoys have intersecting routes and should avoid simultaneous use of a road junction. • Applications used: • Head Vehicle (for both convoys) • sends a ‘data’ message containing the node ID as the convoy moves • stops or continues its route according to the message sent by the route scheduler • Tail Vehicle (for both convoys) • sends a ‘data’ message containing the node ID as the convoy moves • Route scheduler • accepts ‘data’ messages (data events) and based on the Rssi values it decides which convoy should proceed first
RSSI-based logic • Thorough handling of RSSI measurements from convoy vehicle. • The route scheduler assesses the absolute RSSI value to roughly determine the distance of the approaching vehicle and the time derivative to determine its speed. • Similar approach is followed for the departure from the junction.
