Separating Driver and Vehicle Applications in Vehicle Communications

With the development of increasingly capable personal communications devices, the value of building driver/user-oriented applications into vehicles is reduced. These applications will be handled via the user’s personal communications device no matter where the user is. These applications can be delivered in the vehicle by making the personal communication device use vehicle devices as peripherals for functionality like display, sound output, user input, and situational awareness for driver distraction mitigation. In effect, this removes driver/user applications from vehicle communications, leaving a simpler and more robust business model focusing on vehicle-oriented and vehicle-manufacturer-oriented applications. Essentially all of these applications depend on the exchange of data messages not voice messages permitting, in turn, a simpler and more robust architecture for vehicle communications. This paper will explore these trends in vehicle communications and the implications for the future of ITS.
