Overview
This charter was developed in accordance with the Eclipse Foundation Development Process and will outline the mission, scope, organization, and development process for the Eclipse Automotive Project. This document extends the Eclipse Standard Top-Level Charter 1.2, and includes the required content and overrides which follow. It is anticipated that as the standard charter is updated, this charter will incorporate the changes and make adjustments as seen fit by the PMC, and with approval from the EMO and board of directors.
Mission
The Eclipse Automotive Top-Level Project provides a space for open source projects to explore ideas and technologies addressing challenges in the automotive, mobility and transportation domain. It is the common goal of this project to provide tools and composable building blocks to empower the development of solutions for the mobility of the future.
Scope
The scope of the project includes developing, managing, promoting, and supporting applications, frameworks, runtimes, middlewares and models in the following areas:
-
Traffic and transportation planning;
-
Decision making, planning, control and simulation of automated vehicles and other road users;
-
Test and assessment of advanced driver assistance systems or automated driving functions;
-
Modeling and definition of traffic scenarios for simulation, validation and testing use-cases;
-
Dynamic co-simulation of mobility and communication protocols incorporating physical, control and environment models;
-
Modeling and Simulation of Vehicle-to-Cloud, Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Connectivity;
-
Aggregation and management of measured vehicle data;
-
Modeling and engineering tools for embedded automotive systems; and
-
Middleware and runtime technologies enabling mobility solutions
In addition to providing software solutions for the industry, public sector institutions and consumers, the Eclipse Automotive project is a platform for experimentation by developers, academics and researchers. It provides a place to try out new ideas, new services and infrastructure changes to address the challenges of mobility.
