Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques for the Creation of Novel Services Based on Connected Vehicles

New technologies have been progressively integrated into vehicles during the last thirty years. Commercial vehicles today can be seen as 2 tonne IoT devices on wheels that continuously collect high-quality information not only from the internal performance and behaviour of the vehicle but also from the external environment. The adoption of cutting-edge technologies like 5G, Edge Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be essential pillars for the actual implementation of new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) leveraging Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) paradigm. This paper is focused on the design and implementation of a connected vehicle-based system to enable new services and applications to be developed, by exploiting high-quality data collected from onboard sensors and ECUs and leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning technologies.
