Improving Coordination and Collaboration in Connected and Automated Vehicle Development Projects Using Model Based Process Design

The development of connected vehicle solutions requires integration of multiple, interfacing systems and technologies - developed by various vendors - to compose a complex system that satisfices requirements of multiple stakeholders. While technical aspects of such integration are widely addressed through interface specifications and standards, the process related aspects of the development still pose a prominent challenge. In this paper, we identify valid, development process related challenges. Then, we describe our model based framework for development process design. Finally, we demonstrate how the framework can be used to improve coordination and collaboration in connected vehicle development projects.
