Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture

Overview

Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) is being developed as the basis for identifying the key interfaces across the connected vehicle environment which will support further analysis to identify and prioritize standards development activities. CVRIA will also support policy considerations for certification, standards, core system implementation, and other elements of the connected vehicle environment. CVRIA is developed in 4 Viewpoints:

• Enterprise - Describes the relationships between organizations and the roles those organizations play within the connected vehicle environment
• Functional - Describes abstract functional elements (processes) and their logical interactions (data flows)that satisfy the system requirements
• Physical - Describes physical objects (systems and devices) and their application objects as well as the high-level interfaces between those physical objects
• Communications - Describes the layered sets of communications protocols that are required to support communications among the physical objects that participate in the connected vehicle environment

Another way to view the architecture is from the perspective of the connected vehicle safety, mobility, environmental, and support applications. Each application page shows the subset of each of the viewpoints that pertain to that application.
