A novel CDCS framework for the connected car system

The reliable connectivity over wireless network is of key importance in the connected car ecosystem to provide critical services for both drivers and the passengers. To address the connectivity challenge, a novel framework for the connected car has been proposed in this paper called CDCS (Car Data Connectivity and Security System), an intelligent, secure and efficient run-time middle-ware framework that analyzes wireless network behavior, network traffic monitoring, to seamless switch-over between Cellular and WiFi networks for the car to have always-on network connectivity. The proposed CDCS framework was successfully tested on a concept car–Hyundai Santro model in real time and the results based on ANOVA technique with deeper insights demonstrates the promising potential to actual deployment in the newly car models.
