Open Telematics
Open and Interoperable Telematics
- establishing the standards foundation for next generation of telematics
Telematics Interoperability
Today
 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
Telematics Interoperability
Tomorrow
 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
