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
