By actively networking connected cars withmanufacturers and workshops, new control andmaintenance services are made possible. Thanks to an early diagnosis, costly repairs could well be avoided. Another possible application is Update Over The Air, which is a simple way of updating systemsoftware .


Furthermore, the extensive network of connected cars can help drivers avoid traffic jams and lead themdirectly to empty car parking spaces (Green Parking), thus reducing consumption and emissions .


IOIOT/CC SOL


he concept of connected cars (CC) is closely linked to the IoT. Originally limited to the networking of on-board systems in vehicles it is now used to describe the digitisation of the wide range of information generated in the vehicle through the networking of in-vehicle systems and the way in which the vehicle communicates with its surroundings, right through to themonetisation of data. This advanced approach enables new possibilities formobility concepts and alignment of value chains.

For over 15 years, EBV has been strongly focused on the automobil e industry. The company supports its customers through a variety ofmeans including energy- savingmicro-controllers, sensors, connectivity solutions and embedded processors, all of which are products that formthe basis for the IoT Connected cars and IoT a

Digitisation is progressing rapidly and with it, the IoT. To date, independent products are increasingly connected to the Internet - cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and other vehicles. The mobile operator Vodafone, for example, reported that in early 2016 there were already approximately 34million

Through the interplay of in-vehicle systems and networking with


surroundings, connected car solutions can contribute tomaking both vehicles and driving safer. In addition to driving conditions, assistance systems can increasingly identify and evaluate traffic conditions. One example of this is their ability to initiate braking or lane change manoeuvres in sufficient time. Intelligent lighting system s optimally illuminate th e road without dazzling oncoming traffic. This is how Car2X communication can make a key contribution to increased transport safety in evermore heavy traffic. Should an accident nevertheless happen, then the European emergency call system, eCall, can notify the

Internet connectivity and the problems related to it regarding information and IT security are areas in whichmany automobile companies and specialised automobile suppliers have relatively little experience. In order to sustainably occupy a leading position when it comes to the competition, they should not allow


connected car developments to pass them by, but should actively pursue them instead. At the same time, companies must introduce new applications with a defined time-to-market. This, however, assumes that the developers can focus on their core competencies.

For example, in the field of radio technology and embedded security, the use of flexible, customisable standard components, as well as cooperation with specialised partners, is recommended. This is where EBV Elektronik comes into its own: with its extensive network of partners, the company builds bridges and helps its customers find appropriate resources and specific expertise. This means they are cap able of bringing ne w products tomarket quickly. Within the context of connected cars, EBV Elektronik presents itself as a solution provider for maj
