Purpose and goal
The main objective of the pre-study was to identify research and innovation needs regarding emerging and existing wireless communication technologies suitable for the vehicular environment supporting the following five identified application areas: safety efficiency telematics infotainment manufacturing and after-market. The pre-study resulted in the WCAE application to the FFI program in Q2 2013 and that was approved 2013-05-27. For detalis, see the final report.
Results and expected effects
The pre-study project and later on the WCAE project focus on developing a wireless network access architecture for vehicles including existing and emerging wireless technologies. Focus will also be to develop design and verification methods for wireless communication in the automotive environment. With this focus WCAE project fulfills 3 out of the 5 overall targets of the FFI Vehicle Development program. Since the pre-study is a part of the complete WCAE project the fulfillment of goals are copied from the WCAE application. For detalis, see the final report.
Approach and implementation
A number of high-level research questions that has to be addressed in a project were raised in the pre-study. For detalis, see the final report.
