How RVI models Vehicle Information as a Spec.
To be done.As explained in the section <<RVI Section>>, RVI seperates the vehicle service data representation from the transport. The "Vehicle Signal Specification" is a simple, flexible and scalable format to represent vehicle signals inside a vehicle using a simple tree like hierarchy. RVI Core stack handles the software infrastructure needed to discover other RVI endpoints and handling of end to end delivery of messages, i.e. the transport agnostic communications infrastructure.
Vehicle Connectivity as a Service?
Thinking about the connectivity to the vehicle as a service helped us to model the use case in terms of discovering and invoking services provided by the vehicle. This made the task of realizing the use cases to be simply a matter of service invocation rather than dealing with protocol details and intricacies. These details are best handled by the software stack dictated by the automaker or Tier-1 service provider. It addresses the key issue of who owns this part of the stack, which is always a point of concern in commercial deployments.
