Vehicle on board platform: Communications test and prototyping

Abstract

This paper describes the process of prototyping and testing an in-vehicle embedded system which allows the driver to communicate with his vehicle, with the gadgets inside it (PDAs, cellular, sensor networks, and so on) and with the road infrastructure in order to consume intelligent transport services. The result of the presented work is an on board prototype and two services which have been developed to validate some characteristics of this embedded prototype.
