Reliable On-board and Remote Vehicular Network Management for Hybrid Automobiles

The integration of on-board vehicular networks is accelerating today´s automobile industry towards the development of next generation hybrid automobiles. This seamless integration of technologies paves the way for the future intelligent transportation system. The existing in-vehicle network techniques provide the features of monitoring various parameters, which are primarily used for evaluating the vehicle´s health condition on a real-time basis and to establish suitable control over it as per the observations done. In this paper, a framework for incorporating simple network management protocol (SNMP) based reliable real-time control and performance monitoring system for a hybrid automobile is proposed. Our proposal is based on the usage of SNMP, control area network, and access to the territorial GSM/CDMA networks by using mobile IP.
