Pilot In-Vehicle Infotainment Learning platform based on open source technologies

Abstract

Current education institutions lack adequate tools for teaching software programming for automotive area, especially In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), with available tools constrained to a palette of proprietary, closed solutions. In this paper we give an overview of a pilot In-Vehicle Infotainment Learning platform (PIVILP), based on open source technologies and achievable in any educational environment with moderate cost. The developed pilot and the accompanying software libraries demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach during laboratory work for students at the university.
