Communication Interoperability Model for Embedded Devices

In modern vehicles, there are a lot of devices (GPS receiver, Tachograph, etc.) with different functions. The communication between these peripherals is rarely ensured. In fact, they have to exchange useful information about the vehicle status. Many protocols and standards are used to connect embedded devices. Then, the compatibility between them is not always guaranteed. We propose in this paper a new design of a smart channel. This channel allows the communication and interoperability between heterogeneous embedded systems. The smart channel builds services which can be customized by the end-user. Furthermore, simulation results are provided to illustrate this claim and to assess the performance of the proposed model.
