Internet of Things Platform and Services for Connected Cars

Abstract

In recent years, the connected car market has been expanding. Various car manufacturers are trying to provide Internet of things (IoT) services by collecting and analysing sensing data from cars. However, there is not a well-defined standardized IoT platform to handle the big data for the various car OEM companies or service providers. To resolve this issue, we propose a globally standardized IoT platform for connected cars based on Global Standard 1 (GS1). We extended and remodelled Electronic Product Code global (EPCglobal), one of GS1 standards, and developed a new IoT platform framework called open-language for IoT (Oliot). Then, based on the framework, we modelled car events and developed some hardware and software modules to capture, store, and share the event data. We also implemented demonstration services using the shared data for verification. This research can provide a new ecosystem to the connected car industries and service providers to enable standardized handling and processing of big data. As a result, it will be much easier to create and provide a greater variety of services and combinations of services.

The Role of IoT Devices in Sustainable Car Expenses in the Context of the Intelligent Mobility: A Comparative Approach

“…All data collected and processed from the car can be quite valuable if they are shared properly [13]. With the data, a lot of services could be generated around the car [14].…”

An Architecture of IoT-Based Product Tracking with Blockchain in Multi-sided B2B Platform

“…Such additional information enhances the possibility to trace reasons for product failures or defects and help manufacturers pinpoint the root cause. Work presented by Woo et al [9] provides an approach to integrate IoT information from cars into the EPCIS structure. They extend the EPCIS structure using the Extension field to add relevant automobile information like RPM, braking, steering wheel data, GPS locations at the particular instance of the event when the car is driven.…”

“…Works presented by authors in [8][9][10] manifest strong efforts of inculcating IoT into standard product traceability within different sectors like healthcare, automobile, and food and emphasis of their work improves upon the overall understanding of product quality within standard supply chains.…”
