Investigation of vehicle-to-infrastructure communications based on IPv6-based automotive telematics

Abstract

Automotive telematics is expected to be prevalent due to both market pull and technology push driving forces. By considering ITS networking needs, auto-telematics should provide mobile Internet services for fulfill these needs, and IPv6-based auto-telematics might effectively achieve IP ubiquity and network mobility, which are key technologies for mobile Internet. In this study, an IPv6-based automotive telematics is developed to investigate IPv6 networking systems for ITS. The prototype is made for field trials and performance evaluation purposes.
