Selecting V2X communications interface
Techniques are described herein for facilitating V2X communications using a connected vehicle platform. The techniques include receiving, from an onboard diagnostics (OBD) accessory device, a vehicle report comprising vehicle data of a vehicle equipped with the OBD accessory device, the vehicle located at a target location. An additional vehicle located within a predetermined distance of the target location is identified. The additional vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostics unit (OBU). A traffic advisory message is generated based at least on the vehicle data in the vehicle report. Thereafter, the techniques include determining whether the additional vehicle is located within a communication range of the vehicle and in response to making a determination that the additional vehicle is located outside of the communication range of the vehicle, the traffic advisory message is broadcasted to the OBU of the additional vehicle.
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
receiving, from an onboard diagnostics (OBD) accessory device, a vehicle report comprising vehicle data of a vehicle equipped with the OBD accessory device, the vehicle located at a target location;
identifying an additional vehicle located within a predetermined distance of the target location, the additional vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostics unit (OBU) device;
generating a traffic advisory message based at least on the vehicle data in the vehicle report;
determining whether the additional vehicle is located within a communication range of the vehicle; and
in response to making a determination that the additional vehicle is located outside of the communication range of the vehicle, broadcasting the traffic advisory message to the OBU of the additional vehicle.
2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , the acts further comprising:
generating a recommendation for one or more traffic decisions based at least on the traffic advisory message; and
broadcasting the recommendation to the OBU of the additional vehicle.
3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the OBD accessory device corresponds to a unique OBD accessory device identifier associated with a user account.
4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the OBD accessory device is PC5 capable.
5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle data comprises speed data, vehicle disturbance data, movement data, braking data, vehicle warning system codes, and location data of the vehicle.
6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the traffic advisory message includes an intelligent transportation system (ITS) message.
7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the acts further comprise:
generating a traffic trend data based at least on the vehicle data.
8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprises an on-premise server.
9. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, from an onboard diagnostics (OBD) accessory device, a vehicle report comprising vehicle data of a vehicle equipped with the OBD accessory device, the vehicle located at a target location;
identifying an additional vehicle located within a predetermined distance of the target location, the additional vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostics unit (OBU) device;
generating a traffic advisory message based at least on the vehicle data in the vehicle report;
determining whether the additional vehicle is located within a communication range of the vehicle; and
in response to making a determination that the additional vehicle is located outside of the communication range of the vehicle, broadcasting the traffic advisory message to the OBU of the additional vehicle.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
generating a recommendation for one or more traffic decisions based at least on the traffic advisory message; and
broadcasting the recommendation to the OBU of the additional vehicle.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the OBD accessory device corresponds to a unique OBD accessory device identifier associated with a user account.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the OBD accessory device is PC5 capable.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the vehicle data comprises speed data, vehicle disturbance data, movement data, braking data, vehicle warning system codes, and location data of the vehicle.
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the traffic advisory message includes an intelligent transportation system (ITS) message.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising: generating a traffic trend data based at least on the vehicle data.
16. A system, comprising:
one or more non-transitory storage mediums configured to provide stored computer-readable instructions, the one or more non-transitory storage mediums coupled to one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to cause the one or more processors to:
generate, via an onboard diagnostics (OBD) accessory device installed in a vehicle, a vehicle report comprising vehicle data of the vehicle;
generate a traffic advisory message based at least on the vehicle data in the vehicle report;
determine whether an additional vehicle is within a communication range of the vehicle; and
select a communication interface to transmit the traffic advisory message to the additional vehicle upon making a determination that the additional vehicle is within the communication range of the vehicle.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the communication interface comprises a PC5 interface.
18. The system of claim 16 , the one or more processors further configured to:
select an additional communication interface to transmit the vehicle report to the additional vehicle upon making a determination that the additional vehicle is not within the communication range of the vehicle.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the additional communication interface comprises a wireless Uu interface.
20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the additional vehicle comprises an onboard diagnostics unit (OBU).
