Alain Servel (Expert in ADAS and ITS, PSA Groupe, France)

Abstract

In the context of Autonomous vehicles, vehicles will have to exchange information with other vehicles (V2V) and with the infrastructure (V2I) to enhance inter-distances control and traffic efficiency, with manufacturer backend server (extended vehicle) to monitor and release safely embedded control units and third party applications (navigation, mobility services,…). For these various communication use cases, heterogeneous requirements have to be respected. But we can identify globally two types of communication profiles, local direct low latency communications for safety applications and cooperative driving, and secured high volumes communications with a remote backend server. Facing a necessity of cost and integration optimisation, the automotive industry has interest to concentrate the different embedded communication profiles on a same transversal technology. By the fact that cellular technology is widely deployed in all sectors, evolutions of cellular networks towards next 5G standards could be a good opportunity for automobile.
