Abstract :
The emergence of open platforms for the in-car environment such as the Microsoft Auto PC enables the development of a variety of wireless applications. The scope of possible applications falls into many categories: (1) productivity, (2) safety and security, (3) navigation, (4) entertainment and (5) fleet management. The establishment of standard communication protocols and APIs has become for SB based peripheral interface a critical issue. This article discusses InfoGation´s effort and experience in developing USB technologies and designing applications such as traffic alert, wireless push, Mayday system, and off-board navigation for the Auto PC platform
