MYCAREVENT- Vehicular Communication Gateway for Car Maintenance and Remote Diagnosis

MobilitY and CollAboRative Work in European Vehicle Emergency NeTworks (MYCAREVENT)1 is an European Project of the 6th Framework Program [1]. MYCAREVENT aims to optimize the European market for automotive services and repair. MYCAREVENT develops and implements new applications and services, which can be seamlessly and securely, accessed using mobile communication. Maintenance situations like car breakdowns or minor failures will happen everywhere. Wherever such an unpleasant situation appears, the driver needs help and advice. The help most likely will be a roadside assistant. MYCAREVENT provides the roadside technician and the driver with mobile communication following an "always best connected" approach to facilitate the communication between the mobile users within a collaborative work environment. This paper presents the MYCAREVENT project and its communication architecture concept.
