Throw out your proprietary solutions for device connectivity into the vehicle.

Reconsider embedding applications or short lived, product specific cables, cradles and connectors!


Come and learn how OEM's are future proofing their vehicles using dynamic networking software to enable seamless interaction between mobile phones, CD/DVD/MP3 players and PDA's and the vehicle.

Hear from OEM's and device manufacturers how they are preparing for the next generation of vehicle buyers and autonomous device integration into the vehicle.

Adapting to the new paradigm: Consumer devices take center role. What's the impact of the digital revolution on vehicle manufacturers? Does it make sense to embedded applications into the vehicle or have proprietary, product specific solutions for device integration?
Vision for wireless M2M interaction in the vehicle: Can dynamic networking software make this interaction autonomous, ubiquitous and seamless?
Architecting for HMI and UI's: Yesterday the Sony Walkman, today the iPod. How can OEM's and CE prepare for what coming next?
Profiling future gen x and y car buyers: mobile, connected, carrying personalized, contextualized info/content. How can the vehicle, as only one component in the mobile environment, meet the changing needs of future buyers?

5.30pm WORKSHOPS :

New-Generation real-time operating system features for Telematic Systems

While OSEK/VDX-conforming operating systems are appropriate for many vehicle embedded control units, they are often too modest in capability for telematic applications. A new group of high-end real-time operating systems ("RTOSs") fills this gap by taking extensive advantage of advanced microprocessor features such as supervisor mode vs. user mode distinctions, and memory management support. Their kernels include formal non-fragmenting memory allocators, and "Device I/O Supervisors" to provide organization and orderly access to the various network connections and interfaces typical in telematics. Their inter-task communication models focus on message passing, which can be extended transparently into multi-core and distributed systems.
"Liveness" of software tasks can be monitored by these RTOSs, to notify interested tasks when a task has failed or become inaccessible, whether the task be local or at another processor.

Intended audience: System and software engineers and technical managers who are considering the use of a real-time operating system with special support for telematic systems. They will learn how to evaluate the features of real-time operating systems, for their appropriateness for use in telematics single-processor or multi-processor system designs.

Note: This "new-generation" will be presented at the conceptual level of their shared goals and approaches

5.30pm WORKSHOPS :


Multiprotocol Gateway Unites Wired and Wireless Networks for Telematics Applications

The fusion of data from multiple in-vehicle networks (with diverse protocols and signaling) is leading to powerful synergies affecting every area of the car.   This workshop reviews the scope of emerging applications enabled by the network-of-networks model, and it describes a cost-effective implementation for a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) to act as both a gateway between networks and a web server for remote access to on-board systems.   The TCU is based on a high-performance RISC embedded controller with a rich set of on-chip communication peripherals, including a Bluetooth baseband processor and two independent CAN network interfaces. The workshop will also discuss how the multiprotocol Gateway can play a unifying role between the various in-vehicle networked applications.  

TARGET AUDIENCE

System and software engineers, technical managers or anyone participating in the value chain needed to design, develop, and deliver Telematics and in-vehicle wired/wireless networking solutions.

6 Things You Need To Know About Telematics Back-up Batteries (And Why You Should Use Them)

 

More automobiles lose power during crashes than you might think. Under normal conditions the Telematics system is powered by the vehicle's main battery. However, in the event of an accident that may cut the power to the system, or if the battery becomes drained, it is essential to have a back-up power source. Without battery back-up power, critical applications such as Automatic Crash Notification and emergency communications simply will not work. In order to provide the necessary level of passenger safety, back-up batteries have become a critical part of today's Telematics systems. This workshop will outline why back-up batteries are crucial to Telematics systems, what features a back-up battery must have and how to select the best battery to ensure uninterrupted system performance and passenger safety.

Please join us in this first-ever workshop on this important subject to learn:

•  Why Volvo decided to use a back-up battery in their On Call system (and why others are too)

•  Why a back-up battery is a critical component of ACN

•  The conditions under which a Telematics system will fail to work

•  Why battery chemistry selection is a crucial decision

•  Why using rechargeable batteries is a bad idea

•  How to choose the right battery considering these important selection criteria:

- Safety
- Reliability
- Instantaneous power
- Wide operating temperature range
- Long shelf life

5.30pm WORKSHOPS :

Enabling Technologies for Entry-level Telematics and Navigation Platforms

A discussion on hardware & software approaches for optimum performance of Cost Effective Solutions

Market penetration of aftermarket and OEM installed telematics and navigation systems is still relatively low in all geographic markets outside of Japan. The cost of installed navigation systems to the end-user is still at or above $2,000 limiting the adoption of this convenient feature as part of the automotive audio/ infotainment system.
Existing barriers to broad adoption of navigation-enabled audio/infotainment systems as standard feature in entry- and mid-level vehicles are consumer awareness and system costs.
As the penetration of telematics and navigation systems is increasing, there is a growing awareness and demand for these features but issue of cost remains. The challenge is, what can be done to offer a system with a target end-user cost of $500?

In this workshop SiRF and QNX will discuss Hardware, Software, and System approaches aimed at addressing the issue of cost without compromising the performance or integrity of the system.
The path to cost optimization goes through silicon integration, vehicle bus connectivity with an expanded view of telematics/ navigation system as part of the overall vehicle infrastructure, and a full featured, protected-mode Real Time Operating System (RTOS) with smartly partitioned software modules eliminating specific hardware components.
During the workshop there will be specific references made to a sample hardware platform, a novel approach to GPS/Dead Reckoning positioning, and instant device activation, in order to service the vehicle bus during the system boot process.

Audience/Participation:
Everyone participating or interested in the automotive Telematics, Navigation/ Infotainment Value Chain such as Vehicle Manufacturers, Vehicle Suppliers, Technology Providers, Telematics Service Providers, and Radio Broadcast Providers
