A prototype bridge between automotive and the IoT

We present a new system integrating the in-vehicle CAN/OBD network and an IoT network of wireless devices with an Intelligent Transport System deployed following the standards released by ETSI within the Technical Committee on ITS. More specifically we have implemented periodic transmission complying with the Facilities layer of the ITS Station communication stack making use of the Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM). For vehicular communication we have integrated a fully compliant G5-ready module implementing the full stack from Physical and MAC layers (i.e. IEEE802.11p standard) to the Networking & Transport Layer supporting Geonetworking and IP communications. For the IoT we have implemented an IEEE802.15.4 network with the extension for a full IPv6 interoperability (i.e. the 6LoWPAN suite of standards) in order to allow the addressability of sensor resources on a worldwide basis.
