A summary of key outcomes from Project Alloyed are shared covering areas that have the potential for further development, opportunities for exploitation as well as collaborative research.
Business Models - primarily B2B products with licensing options but B2C has also been considered.
Demonstrations & Trials - a range of market ready and prototype systems available for demonstration and trials. These include the majority of the systems (hardware and software) used and developed during the course of the project.
I2V Sensing - systems and software to allow non-V2X entities to share information with V2X capable systems allowing non-connected as well as distant entities to be 'visible' to vehicles (e.g. cyclists and seeing around corners, respectively).
A number of key outcomes mentioned here are demonstrated to the project consortium members, government agencies and academics on the 16th of October, 2018 in Guildford, Surrey. The demos included vehicle journeys into Guildford town centre as well as demos setup at the University of Surrey campus and within the 5G Innovation Centre.
End to End Alloyed Architecture - a comprehensive and extendable architecture for all types of vehicles, roadside infrastructure and cloud based services based on use cases studied and developed by the project team.
V2X Software Stack - core software modules for a standards based V2X software stack which is portable across platforms and capable of custom application development.
On-Board Unit (OBU) - prototype factory install OBU system with support across multiple hardware and software platforms with modular connectivity and peripheral integration.
Roadside Unit (RSU) - prototype field installed RSU system with support across multiple hardware and software platforms with modular connectivity and peripheral integration.
Communications Modules - standards based 802.11p modules and development a detailed plan for additional modules.
Data Broker - data broker software for on-premise, field or cloud based deployment with support for multiple standard interfaces.
Emissions Model - vehicle centric emissions model to determine vehicle emissions based solely on available on board-data.
Seamless Connectivity - a patent-pending means to support connectivity across multiple access technologies in a single system with handover capability.
Vehicle Data Extraction - OBD-II module supporting multiple protocol standards for integration with OBU’s or as the basis for an aftermarket products.
Vehicle Bus Consolidation - system design for vehicle bus consolidation across CAN, LIN, MOST, FlexRay and Ethernet providing a means to simplify in-vehicle networks and allow data access to and from all vehicle systems.
