The Possibilities of car networking as well as new digital business models formed the primary focus of the event: “CPS am Beispiel von Connected Cars “anfassbar” gemacht: Perspektiven der Car-2-X Kommunikation” (English translastion: CPS Made Comprehensible Using the Example of Connected Cars: Perspectives of Car-2-X Communication), that took place at the Cross-Innovation-Center of the chair for Communication Networks at TU Dortmund on the 28th of April. More than 50 participants followed an invitation of the CPS.HUB specialist group for communication networks and an interesting program awaited them on topics about Car-to-Car, Car-to-Infrastructure, Car-to-Grid and Car-to-Cloud communication.

The opening was made by Monika Gatzke (CPS.HUB NRW/Bergische Universität Wuppertal) and Prof. Christian Wietfeld (CPS.HUB NRW/TU Dortmund-Lehrstuhl für Kommunikationsnetze). They presented the dimensions of Car-2-X communication for connected car services as well as the whitepaper “Connected Cars”, which was acquired by CPS.HUB NRW. It intensively highlights chances and challenges regarding economy and science, politics and society for the location North Rhine-Westphalia and will be published at the end of May.

Frank Sell, Ericsson GmbH, presented Connected Cars from the perspective of a network-infrastructure-manufacturer. His presentation centered the possibilities of mobile supported Car-to-Infrastructure communication for intelligent traffic- and logistic solutions. He pointed out how intelligent and cooperative cloud-solutions could optimize the secure data transfer of vehicle, manufacturer and other market participants.

Christian Wolff, ATB – Institut für angewandte Systemtechnik Bremen GmbH, presented initial results of the Horizon 2020 project „AutoMat“. The goal is the development and implementation of an open and novel “Vehicle Big Data” market place to pave the way for innovative, vehicle data based services. The solution is realized by a Car-to-Cloud communication in Connected Cars.

Dr. Daniel Martini, IMST GmbH, offered a detailed view on the testing environment of vehicle manufacturers in his lecture on “Next Generation Car-to-X Kommunication”.

Dr. Robert Budde, Leopold Kostal GmbH & Co. KG finalized the series of lectures with an exciting outlook on “Car-to-Car Kommunication für Assistenzsysteme”.

A particular highlight of the event were demonstrators, which made innovative solutions “tangible”. Five northern rhine-westphalian actors showed their “Connected Car” solutions: a demonstrator for vehicle based measurement and visualization of networking quality (Ericsson GmbH), a demonstrator for a wrong-way-driver-warning-system (Wilhelm Schröder GmbH), the prototype of a camera based assisting-system for pedestrian-warning being part of a ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) solution (KOSTAL GmbH & Co. KG), a hardware-in-the-loop demonstrator for heterogenic vehicles based on IEEE 802.11p (CCS Labs/Universität Paderborn) and a demonstrator of the testing system for innovative charging-infrastructure-communication as well as a LTE-advanced laboratory setup for mobile high speed internet connections (Lehrstuhl für Kommunicationsnetze/TU Dortmund).
