Databases

The Microsoft Access databases are the basic repository for the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture definition. These databases are the source for the architecture content and website products. For the experienced architecture and database user, these databases provide the most flexible and powerful way to access Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture content. Using the databases, one can generate queries and reports that extract a specific subset of the architecture and manipulate the data to tailor it for a particular application. Of course, care must be taken since it is also easy to generate invalid results without some background in the architecture definition and the underlying relational database design.

Compressed images of the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture databases are at your disposal. Select links below to download and save the zip file onto your hard disk or other writeable media. Execute the file by double clicking on it and then save the databases (".accdb" files) on your hard disk or other writeable media. Once uncompressed and on your hard disk, Microsoft Access (or any other database system capable of importing the ACCDB format) may be used to open the databases.
