Remote Maintenance and Software Update Methods for Connected Vehicles

Abstract

While building smart living areas, the main purpose is to increase the quality and comfort of life without compromising health and safety. With the increase of new technologies used in growing and updated modern living areas, we witness that the needs are shaped and changed with this change. The primary purpose of each new technology is to offer more safety, health, comfort and convenience to the person, organization or structure that it addresses. The basic means of the connected vehicles has been to ensure the safety of the user in the best way, and people expect more than vehicle. With the widespread use of autonomous vehicles, that is without driver assistant, in the near future, vehicles are expected to connect and communicate with the ecosystem structured for the future and among themselves. Thanks to this communication that the vehicles have, the traffic flow on the route, the road condition, the location of the pedestrians around, possible malfunctions and failures that may occur and all such information will be shared by the vehicle with each other and the future ecosystem. On the other hand, while the vehicles are becoming more connected with any of useful technologies, thanks to the remote connection provided by their technology, manufacturers can easily develop their vehicles without recalling. In this study, information was given about the connected vehicles, the remote connection infrastructure and methods. The advantages provided by these systems are explained.
