Secure integration of unknown modules in a plug&play architecture for the connected automated vehicle of tomorrow

Mobility is undergoing change, one example of which is the transition away from individual transport to new types of mobility concepts. One of these concepts involves adapting the vehicle during operation to the intended use, e.g. transporting goods or people.
To meet these challenges, a future vehicle and its architecture must be flexible and adaptable. Therefore, at ITIV we are exploring ways to add or remove software and hardware components dynamically during the vehicle's lifetime.

Objectives:

  • Sate of the art analysis on plug&play concepts and their protocols.
  • Concept for secure (dynamic) coupling of unknown add-on modules
  • Implementation of the concept on the ITIV demonstrator.

Prerequisites:

  • Interest in vehicles and software architecture,
  • Knowledge of C++ or Python and ROS2

Knowledge in vehicle electronics is an advantage
