The trusted interface for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles communication.
Discover the two major protocols that enable seamless communication between Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, infrastructure, and service providers.
The Two-Layer Protocol Model for CAV Systems
Complementary Communication Standards
The CAV ecosystem relies on two complementary communication layers, just like the EV charging infrastructure with OCPI and OCA. This two-tier design ensures scalability, safety, and cross-network cooperation in the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle space.
OCAVP 1.1: Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Protocol
Device-Level Management Protocol
The Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Protocol (OCAVP 1.1) 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.
OCAVP 1.1 Features
VISS provides standardized communication between vehicles and backend systems, backed by COVESA
OCAVI 1.1: Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Interoperability
Ecosystem Interoperability Protocol
The Open Connected Autonomous Vehicle Interoperability (OCAVI 1.1) 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 1.1 Features
TOMP-API enables interoperability between mobility service providers and external platforms
