APPLYING OPEN STANDARDS ELECTRONICS ARCHITECTURES FOR GROUND VEHICLES

Open Standard are useful for designing and instantiating specific electronics architectures on vehicles. Successfully designing them requires understanding all the factors that impact their usefulness. These factors and associated trade-offs for intended vehicle types include quantitative factors such as operating environments, thermal management techniques, size, weight, and power, and acquisition cost. Additionally, integration challenges, acquisition models, and industrial base collaboration add additional layers of complexity. All of these need to be considered for successful application for ground vehicles.
