Technical Specification: Connected Autonomous Vehicle (MPAI-CAV) – Architecture  (CAV-ARC) V1.1 – in the following also called CAV-ARC V1.1 or CAV-ARC – specifies the Architecture of a Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) based on a Reference Model comprising the Information and Communication Technologies aspects of:

  1. A CAV broken down into Subsystems for each of which the following is specified:
    1. The functional requirements of:
      1. Subsystems’ own roles.
      2. Input/output Data Types with Qualifiers exchanged between Subsystems.
    2. The topology of Components
  2. Components specified in terms of functional requirements of:
    1. Components’ own roles.
    2. Input/output Data Types with Qualifiers exchanged between:
      1. Components
      2. Components and Subsystems.

Each Subsystem is implemented as an AI Workflow (AIW) made of Components implemented as AI Modules (AIM) executed in an AI Framework (AIF) as specified by Technical Specification: AI Framework (MPAI-AIF) V1.1.

Technical Specification: Connected Autonomous Vehicle (MPAI-CAV) – Technologies (CAV-TEC) V1.0 extends CAV-ARC V1.1 by specifying the Data Types and Qualifiers exchanged by Subsystems (AIW) and Components (AIM).

CAV-ARC V1.1:

  1. Does not mandate support of specified CAV Subsystems and Components.
  2. Does not specify the device that should perform the function specified, e.g., on board the CAV or remote.
  3. Specifies the Data Types and Qualifiers exchanged with the mechanical components of a CAV, but not the mechanical components activated by such interfaces.
  4. Allows implementations that merge sets of Components into one Component, on the condition that the resulting Component satisfies the functional requirements and its external interfaces are preserved.
  5. Makes no assumption on the location carrying out the processing required by the CAV.
  6. Assumes that processing, collection, and storage of information is performed according to the applicable laws of the location.

CAV-ARC has been developed by the Connected Autonomous Vehicle Group of the Requirements Standing Committee. MPAI may publish additional Technical Reports and Specifications  addressing the same or additional aspects of Connected Autonomous Vehicles.
