INTERNET OF THINGS
FOR THE AUTOMATED DRIVING
M. Djurica, Ph.D.
IOT – WHAT IT IS
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects — devices, vehicles,
buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and
network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data.
IoT enables integration of the physical world into computer-based systems;
IoT with sensors and actuators enables improved control of processes and thus
efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.
Note that IoT and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) are frequently used as synonyms
IoT is about connected objects and their digital representations
M2M is about communication between machines, with no (or little) human
intervention

DOMAIN SPECIFIC SERVICES
Typically IoT/M2M have been vertically integrated per domain or vendor – “my data/my
service”
Leading to vendor lock-in, proprietary solutions, tailor-made for given environment /
problem
Migrating solutions to other environment requires adjustments: time and money

IOT ENABLING PLATFORM
IoT provides platform where all data is collected, and makes possible adding value to
information which is based on cross-domain data.
Heterogeneous communication makes it less important how the devices are connected.

AIOTI HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE
The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) was initiated by the European Commission in order to develop and support the dialogue and interaction among the Internet of Things (IoT) various players in Europe.
WG9: Smart MobilityFocus is on IoT solutions for increased multi-modal mobility, efficient traffic management, a dynamic road infrastructure, automated road tolling, usage based insurance and improved policy making through the analysis of road usage data for smart vehicles including autonomous and connected cars.

IoT ‘stack’ Autonomous driving ‘stack’
• Two separate stovepipes: AD and IoT.
• Vehicle using data from own sensors, and exchanges data with others in vicinity (vehicles, RSU, traffic infrastructure).
• IoT platform as collection place for large amounts of data from connected devices including vehicles and traffic infrastructure.
• IoT holds and provides additional source of data for vehicle’s world model and automotive services.

AUTOPILOT – URBAN DRIVING EXAMPLE
Automated Urban Driving supported with IoT has the main advantage of extending the perception range of anautomated vehicle beyond what is provided by its own sensors. In this sense, the vehicle will become an IoTelement, which will get relevant information and data (and provide it as well) from, for example, IoT connectedelements, such as traffic lights, cameras or other connected vehicles.
