Autonomous Driving Progressed by oneM2M : The Experience of the AUTOPILOT Project

The European Commission Horizon 2020 AUTOPILOT (AUTOmated driving Progressed by Internet Of Things) is aiming to exploit the IoT ecosystem to integrate connected cars and transform them in automated moving "objects". One of the key challenges encountered in the project is to ensure the interoperability of the different components and IoT platforms serving e.g. in-vehicle and road-side devices and sensors. The adopted solution is the use of Federated IoT platforms, with the oneM2M Interoperability Platform used to ensure that all components are able to communicate with each other. This paper provides a high-level description of the project and its goals and then concentrates on the importance to ensure interoperability support for IoT platforms using the standard IoT platform provided by oneM2M.
