ACA to demonstrate Secure Vehicle Interface at AAPEX

    LAS VEGAS — The Auto Care Association (ACA) and its partners will unveil and demonstrate the Secure Vehicle Interface (SVI), an internationally standardized technical design that provides for secure and standardized access to the In-Vehicle Networks (IVN), during the Automotive Aftermarket Parts Expo (AAPEX), Oct. 30-Nov. 1, in Las Vegas.

    SVI allows automotive aftermarket and vehicle owners access to operational, maintenance and driver behavioral data.

    ACA, in partnership with Q-Free ASA, Concepts & Services Solutions (CSC), OnBoard Security Inc. Green Hills Software/Integrity Security Services and CarMD.com Corp., will hold three demonstrations to highlight how the technology enables secure and direct access to vehicle data.

    With nearly 90 percent of all new cars equipped with wireless technologies that can transmit extensive vehicle information, the need for SVI comes at a time of national debate over who has access to, and control of, vehicle data and diagnostics, the ACA said.

    Traditionally, the auto care industry has had direct access to vehicle data — which is how consumers and service technicians access diagnostics for maintenance and repairs. However, as vehicle technologies continue to evolve and data are transmitted wirelessly, the ACA claims that auto manufacturers are working to ensure they gain exclusive access and ownership of this information.

    "SVI is a collection of technical design standards that ensure vehicle data interfaces always enable safe, secure and standardized consumer access and control of the data their car generates," ACA Pesident and CEO Bill Hanvey said.

    "If a car owner is unable to directly access and control the data their car produces, then they can't determine where or how they have their vehicle serviced. This would mean greater inconvenience, greater cost and fewer options for taking care of their vehicle."

    Joe Register, ACA's vice president of emerging technologies, said, "SVI's internationally standardized design enables a smarter, more efficient global infrastructure where vehicles can 'talk' to infrastructure components, like roadside controllers, traffic lights, emergency vehicles and more.

    "As a result of SVI's standardized authentication and security specifications, both new and existing vehicles will be able to adapt to an evolving driving environment."

    According to Knut Evensen, chief technologist at Q-Free, "Providing standardized access to the In-Vehicle Networks is an important step toward enabling the deployment of Connected Vehicle (CV) technology to the aftermarket.

    "Leveraging security technology from CV pilots will keep the costs down and open up a global market for vehicle owners everywhere, enabling new and innovative products and services related to CV."

    Gangolf Feiter, founder of CSC, added: "This interface provides a consistent communication interface for collecting and reporting vehicle data to ensure interoperable, safe and secure operation.

    "SVI also provides a secure direct connection to vehicle network systems for certificate-based, authorized third parties, ensuring the integrity of the data being transmitted to properly complete vehicle maintenance and repair."

    ACA will provide AAPEX attendees SVI demonstrations that include:

    • A demonstration of how SVI provides secured and standardized access to sensor and control networks for typical Data Trouble Codes (DTCs) or repair codes. Using the Open Driving Platform (ODP) as an implementation of SVI standards, attendees will see the secure connection to the in-vehicle network of a 2018 Dodge Charger while it monitors and diagnoses the vehicle, the ACA said. Using the SVI-enabled interface, the system can measure and report vehicle roadworthiness, diagnostics and generate emergency notifications, such as an Automated Crash Notification, punctured tire or engine alert, all while in motion.

    • A live demonstration showing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) connectivity for estimated arrival time and traffic conditions. The demo will show ITS connectivity with infrastructure using shuttle busses transporting passengers between the AAPEX and SEMA conferences. Passengers will be able to access real-time ETA, traffic and vehicle data using their smartphones and a live demonstration showcasing real-time vehicle data information alongside remote real-time diagnostics. Attendees can also view monitoring and vehicle health data for the 2018 Dodge Charger in the city, using secure ITS stations to display traffic, speed, geolocation and more.

    AAPEX attendees can view these demonstrations Oct. 30 - Nov. 1, at the Auto Care SVI Booth #31021, located in the Technology of Tomorrow section of the Venetian Ballroom at the Venetian Hotel.
