Open and Interoperable Telematics
- establishing the standards foundation for next generation of telematics
Telematics InteroperabilityTelematics InteroperabilityTodayToday
3GT specification for achieving end-to-end Open Systems interoperability, based on: OSGi enabled Client Device Management Agent (extensions) to permit Control Center
standardization JSR124 compliant Service Packaging
Currently defined key 3GT interfaces: I1: Service Provision package interface I2: CC to terminal interface
3GT introduction, spec release at ITS – Madrid (Nov)
Interoperability DEMO project planned with AMI-C
Industry adoption of 3GT specs
Extend interface standards: I3 – Vehicle Interface (tbd)
AMI-C Network & Common Message Set AMI-C Vehicle Services
I4 – HMI Interface (tbd) AMI-C HMI APIs
GST – Open Architecture Standards Open Systems Specs End-to-end Security Service Payment Certification
