Electro Mobility

Computers on Wheels

Future generation vehicles will be embedded ‘Computers on Wheels’ with semiconductor, sensing, actuating, computing devices that are embedded in the electronic equipment, electrical motors, batteries and the mechanical parts of the electrical vehicle.

The vehicle architecture will be complex electromechanical system based architecture with devices ranging from macro to nano sizes and where majority of the components are made of hardware (nanoelectronic devices, components, circuits, processing units), algorithms and software.

The rise of electric mobility entails the development of a vast amount of new infrastructure, charging stations and new embedded systems and communication technologies to connect the vehicle with the electric (Smart Grid) and information infrastructure (Internet).

Internet of Energy - Objectives

IoE objective is developing hardware, software and middleware for seamless, secure connectivity and interoperability achieved by connecting the Internet with the energy grids. The application of the IoE will be the infrastructure for electric mobility. The underlying architecture is of distributed Embedded Systems (ESs), combining power electronics, integrated circuits, sensors, processing units, storage technologies, algorithms, and software.

Internet of Energy (IoE) addresses seamless connectivity and middleware by achieving interoperability of the Internet applications for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Smart Homes with the Energy Grid, with the focus on Electric Mobility infrastructure and the communication between them.

IoE contributes to reference design and architectures by addressing architectural and functional dependability. Thus ensuring secure, reliable and timely system services and the design, development and deployment of ubiquitous electronics and software systems. These systems will be interoperable, cost effective, powerful and safe.
