CVIS

CVIS is a large European project (IP) specifying an IPv6-based communication architecture and a set of applications for vehicle-roadside and vehicle-Internet communications. The work is based on CALM standard from ISO. CVIS is now developing a multi-channel mobile router capable of maintaining connectivity with the roadside and the Internet through a number of wireless communications media (802.11a/b/g, 802.11p, 3G). INRIA is bringing the necessary IPv6 insight into this project and is leading all aspects related to IPv6 (specification, dissemination). In charge of defining the IPv6 communication architecture, INRIA contributed to the specification and validation work, and we spent a lot of time informing the partners about the impact of IPv6 on their work and investigating the interoperability with legacy systems deployed at test sites. INRIA providing IPv6 training to CVIS partners and advised partners involved at test sites on IPv6 issues. As part of this project, INRIA contributed to european and worldwide effort in ITS communication architecture standardization (ISO TC204 WG16 [53] , ETSI TC ITS, COMeSafety [52] ).
