System Integration for the Intelligent Foresight Freight Vehicle

This paper will present the Truck Systems Concept Verifier, used as the integration platform for transport telematic technologies considered as important to the CVO industry in the UK. The results that are presented in this paper will provide some insight to the intelligent ICVO applications currently under development. Some of the technical and operational issues facing intelligent commercial vehicle operation were used as the basis for developing scenario based systems integration methodology for these technologies. The new method is based on matrix mapping with probabilistic weighting functions that enables an improved integrated systems functional description. The integration methodology is developed as a software routine that will form part of computer modeling and design framework for integrated transport telematics
