vehicle platoon coordination Quintuple

Bidirectional?: True

vehicle platoon coordination (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Vehicle Cooperative Cruise Control' application object and the 'Remote Vehicle OBEs' physical object. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'vehicle platoon coordination'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.

Remote Vehicle OBEs (Source Physical Object): 'Remote Vehicle OBEs' represents other connected vehicles that are communicating with the host vehicle. This includes all connected motorized vehicles including passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles and specialty vehicles (e.g., maintenance vehicles, transit vehicles) that also include the basic 'Vehicle OBE' functionality that supports V2V communications. In CVRIA, this object provides a source and destination for information transfers between connected vehicles. The host vehicle on-board equipment, represented by the Vehicle OBE physical object, sends information to, and receives information from the Remote Vehicle OBEs to model all connected vehicle V2V communications in CVRIA.

Vehicle OBE (Destination Physical Object): The Vehicle On-Board Equipment (OBE) provides the vehicle-based processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support connected vehicle operations. The radio(s) supporting V2V and V2I communications are a key component of the Vehicle OBE. This communication platform is augmented with processing and data storage capability that supports the connected vehicle applications.

In CVRIA, the Vehicle OBE includes the functions and interfaces that support connected vehicle applications for passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Many of these applications (e.g., V2V Safety applications) apply to all vehicle types including personal vehicles, commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, transit vehicles, and maintenance vehicles. From this perspective, the Vehicle OBE includes the common interfaces and functions that apply to all motorized vehicles.

Vehicle Cooperative Cruise Control (Destination Application Object): "Vehicle Cooperative Cruise Control" regulates vehicle speed using V2V communications to share speeds and coordinate maneuvers with other vehicles, maintaining vehicle speed and a safe headway. It also provides the capability for vehicles to operate in cooperative platoons with reduced headways in designated lanes. These capabilities are provided by systems on board the vehicle that coordinate with other vehicles and regulate acceleration and braking.
