Protocol Models

Understanding our communication standards for Connected Autonomous Vehicles.

Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Mesh (OCAVM)
V2V & V2I short-range network

Enables vehicles to communicate with each other and nearby infrastructure in real time for better coordination and safety.

Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Service (OCAVS)
Vehicle-to-Server link

Connects vehicles to servers for telemetry, remote updates, and secure management.

Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Interoperability (OCAVI)
Platform-to-Platform exchange

Standardizes data sharing between platforms, cities, and service providers for seamless integration.

OCAVM: Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Mesh

Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocol

The Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Mesh (OCAVM) enables short-range, decentralized vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for CAV systems. Vehicles form a local mesh network to exchange real-time safety, coordination, and emergency signals without relying on central infrastructure.

OCAVM Features

Direct, low-latency communication between nearby vehicles without central servers.

OCAVM Emergency AlertsOCAVM Emergency Alerts

Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Service

Device-Level Management Protocol

The Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Service (OCAVS) Connects vehicles to backend servers, providing telemetry, commands, updates, and diagnostics. This alliance-backed protocol enables secure and standardized communication between vehicles and their management systems.

OCAVS Features

Collects real-time data from sensors and vehicle systems for performance and safety monitoring.

OCAVI: Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Interoperability

Ecosystem Interoperability Protocol

The Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Interoperability (OCAVI) connects mobility platforms, cities, and external service providers. This interoperability standard enables multi-operator ecosystems by providing trip data, booking, availability, routing, and service roaming capabilities.

OCAVI Features

Bring your vehicle to you effortlessly using your phone, with seamless tracking and alerts.
