Ready-Made Protocols for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)
Skip months of engineering and coordination with ready-made protocols for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) communication.

Protocol Models
Understanding our communication standards for Connected Autonomous Vehicles.
Enables vehicles to communicate with each other and nearby infrastructure in real time for better coordination and safety.
Connects vehicles to servers for telemetry, remote updates, and secure management.
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

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

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.
