Building Services for the VII Environment: Use of the WAVE Networking Standard for In-Vehicle Communication
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) project promises a wide convergence of emerging technologies to enable safer and smarter travel on the national roadways. The VII architecture integrates IPv6 networks, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) wireless channels, and a new IEEE 1609 family of standards for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE).
This talk will describe the recently published WAVE networking standard (IEEE 1609.3) and the impact on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Essential aspects of the 1609.3 networking model will be reviewed, including a Proof of Concept VII Service Oriented Architecture, WAVE Networking Stack, and the Real-Time Messaging VII model. This program will also include a detailed description of the Publish / Subscribe MQ Architecture developed to support collection/parsing of vehicle probe data and the scheduling/delivery of standard SAE J2735 messages to vehicles in a limited connectivity environment.
Tim Weil is a Booz Allen Hamilton security architect working on the VII Project. With more than 20 years experience in data processing, communications engineering, and information assurance, Weil's technical areas of expertise include enterprise security architecture, FISMA compliance, identity management, and network engineering. He is a senior member of IEEE and serves as secretary of the IEEE Washington Section. He has also been a technical reviewer for several IEEE publications. His degrees include an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University and a B.A. in sociology from Immaculate Heart College. He is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
