Definitions

vehicle diagnostic data (Information Flow): Information about the vehicle and its current operational status that supports vehicle performance monitoring, service, and repair. The flow identifies the vehicle and vehicle type and provides information about the vehicle's current operational status, the current performance of engine-related and other components, and notification of any identified malfunctions.

Vehicle (Source Physical Object): This 'Vehicle' physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to more than one type of Vehicle. It provides the vehicle-based general sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions that support efficient, safe, and convenient travel. Many of these capabilities (e.g., see the Vehicle Safety service packages) apply to all vehicle types including personal vehicles, commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, transit vehicles, and maintenance vehicles. From this perspective, the Vehicle includes the common interfaces and functions that apply to all motorized vehicles. The radio(s) supporting V2V and V2I communications are a key component of the Vehicle. Both one-way and two-way communications options support a spectrum of information services from basic broadcast to advanced personalized information services. Advanced sensors, processors, enhanced driver interfaces, and actuators complement the driver information services so that, in addition to making informed mode and route selections, the driver travels these routes in a safer and more consistent manner. This physical object supports all six levels of driving automation as defined in SAE J3016. Initial collision avoidance functions provide 'vigilant co-pilot' driver warning capabilities. More advanced functions assume limited control of the vehicle to maintain lane position and safe headways. In the most advanced implementations, this Physical Object supports full automation of all aspects of the driving task, aided by communications with other vehicles in the vicinity and in coordination with supporting infrastructure subsystems.

Vehicle Service Center (Destination Physical Object): 'Vehicle Service Center' represents vehicle service centers that collect vehicle diagnostic information from vehicles and provide service options for drivers of these vehicles. The physical object also includes centers operated by vehicle manufacturers that can coordinate with connected vehicles to obtain vehicle operating data and provide software or data updates to connected vehicles that they have manufactured.

Communication Solutions

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

VIS - Secure Wireless Internet (EU)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia and the E.U.. It combines standards associated with VIS with those for I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (EU). The VIS standards include upper-layer standards required to exchange vehicle diagnostic and detailed information. The I-M: Secure Wireless Internet (EU) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

Security

Information Flow Security
	Confidentiality	Integrity	Availability
Rating	Moderate	High	Moderate
Basis	Vehicle OBE control, configuration and software/firmware update should all be protected from view. A hostile third party could use this information to reverse engineer control/configuration/update processes, and use that information in an attack across a broad swatch of vehicles, which would have severe effects to the connected vehicle environment.	Vehicle device control, configuration and update need to be correct or the Vehicle OBE may be misconfigured, which for some applications could have severe safety impacts.	Without the ability to locally diagnose, operate, update and configure the Vehicle OBE, the OBE is effectively out of control and would have to be taken out of service. Marked MODERATE and not HIGH however because a vehicle system is presumed to be able to operate without a connection to a backoffice service. For specific instances where this flow is used as part of a local, in-person configuration or maintenance service, would be HIGH.
