Join Imad Sousou as he discusses the significance of Linux development at Intel and, specifically, how Linux is used in IVI (in-vehicle infotainment). He will share how Intel successfully and effectively contributes code upstream and how collaboration with the Linux and open source communities is a key component to creating and maintaining healthy, open ecosystems.
Sharing experiences of the on-going development of a Linux based Infotainment system; from concept, through requirements capture and the tool chain roll-out, to the start of series development. Finally a discussion around the next steps, and vision for the future.
From smartphones to tablets to navigation and entertainment devices for the automobile, a vast array of consumer electronics that we use every day operate on open source software – for example, open source Android based handsets have grown substantial market share since being introduced a few short years ago. Significant innovations in open source software have opened the market to increased competition, and exploded feature sets and capabilities, while dramatically driving down cost for consumers. As competition in consumer electronics has increased, so too has the complexity of navigating licensing and intellectual property in the space. The influx of open source based consumer electronics is a prime example of why technology business leaders, including chief intellectual property officers and licensing executives, need to increase their awareness around open source and the associated intellectual property landscape. Keith Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network will discuss open source and its use in consumer electronics growth strategies as well as outline ways that companies can protect and enable themselves, while continuing to drive market demand.
The talk will discuss how Linux is used in the CFD workflow at McLaren F1, and how we use Linux in some other interesting areas.
International transport research organisations including TRL are currently working together to develop next generation road construction methodologies, We want roads that are more adaptive to demand, more resilient to climate change and more automated in operation. The target is a “forever open road” with an extended asset life and evergreen features. It will be pre-provisioned for the deployment of new applications such as speed management, intelligent intersections, lane guidance systems, dynamic inductive charging, robotic maintenance, with the aim of increasing effective road network capacity. What new opportunities will arise to support these applications? How can we integrate traffic flow data from smart phones, satnavs and progressively autonomous vehicles? Can we feed back real time information on road conditions, traffic speed, safety, congestion, route selection and driver performance? Assuming most central governments will not invest currently, is there a business case for private sector leadership?
TomTom has recently published a congestion index for selected cities in Europe and North America, which is derived from a historic database of journey times reported by users of their personal navigation devices. Evidence suggests that a driver with real time intelligent route selection can save up to 15% of journey time by avoiding congested areas and using secondary routes. If 10% of all drivers were to use intelligent route selection, the expected effect would be to increase overall road capacity and significantly reduce journey time for everyone. Personalisation is also available - a driver can request an eco friendly route, or the car might know it will need a stop for EV battery charging and so reserve a charge point slot en route. Where is this technology leading? Will congestion analytics significantly improve traffic management? What new real time information can be provided in the vehicle and on the road to improve road network effectiveness? How can we achieve maximum traffic flow and safety, with minimum pollution and stress?
This talk will go into how the Linux kernel is developed, discuss areas in which are currently being worked on, why it is important that you get involved in the development of the kernel, and how to do so.
