Towards a Generic IoT Platform for Data-driven Vehicle Services

Abstract

Advances in the field of engineering have resulted in vehicles becoming a digitised source of data from which scenarios of Quantified Vehicles emerge. Even though the benefits and range of emerging services are ample, several challenges cap the extent of opportunities, such as determining the business benefits, as well as constructing and operating an independent, scalable, and flexible platform ensuring e.g., privacy, accountability. In our work in progress paper, we propose a conceptual architecture of a generic IoT platform for enabling such data-driven services for the vehicle domain, while considering important characteristics, such as data security and privacy, improved service operations, safety and value creation for end-users. We then describe how this platform can be demonstrated, including the vehicle gateway device (Vehicle Data Logger) capturing the vehicle data, to finally enable a set of useful and usable data-driven services for vehicle drivers and other stakeholders.
