Eclipse Connected Services Platform

The  Eclipse CSP provides following layers and components:

• Offboard Platform Layer 
  
  • Data Collection and Processing: Enables gathering and processing vehicle data.
    
    • GDPR Compliance: The Eclipse CSP ensures compliance with GDPR standards throughout data storage and processing. 
    • Data Acquisition: Vehicles (using a vehicle client) transmit data using a lightweight MQTT protocol, minimizing data overhead and optimizing bandwidth usage. 
    • Data Processing: Kafka streams handle data processing, guaranteeing high throughput, reliable connectivity, and exchanges between vehicles and platform. 
• Reference Application:
  
  •  Remote Operations Application for vehicles to control door, Window, lights, Horn, Alarm, trunk, and  demonstrate how new services can be written using the code platform layer. 
• Vehicle Profile and Device Management: Manages vehicle profiles and connected devices.
• Setting and Configuration Management: Allows settings and configuration to be deployed and applied to a vehicle. 
• User and Identity Management: Secure user access and authentication.
• Notification Center: Facilitates sending and receiving notifications over push notifications to Mobile Apps, Email , SMS, and HTTPS push.  
• Device Management Orchestrator: Orchestrates device management tasks.
• Notification & Campaign Management: Enables managing notification campaigns.
• Onboard Client:
  
  • Vehicle Client: A C++ Client, ready to be deployed on TCUs/ECUs/IVI to validate the RO application use case. 
• Vehicle Simulator/Test Application: 
• A Linux-based vehicle simulator capable of simulating vehicle messages or receiving and responding to messages from a Cloud application. This is provided for testing and development purposes.
• Observability 
  
  • For enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting, SCP is integrated with observability tools like Graylog and Prometheus. 
• Mobile Application:
  
  • Reference Mobile Application (iOS/Android): Provides a reference application enabling vehicle users to visualize platform capabilities.
• Single-Click CD : Instructions & framework that shall enable single click deployment for Platform on AWS. The framework uses Kubernetes and ArgoCD for automated and scalable deployment of containerized applications/services.  

This open-source platform is designed to support connected car deployments of up to 100,000 vehicles, while the opensource offering utilizes a community version of open-source software currently like HiveMQ, Zookeeper Kafka, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, the system is inherently scalable for millions of devices in enterprise deployments.
