8 open telematics interface - what it is at a glance Open Telematics Interface A standardized, generic and licence free interface for telematics applications. To ensure interoperability by means of open industry standard with a high potential for the future. Market leaders became partners 8

9 mission statement Facilitate the use of telematics services and increase the range of operation as well as application. The interface has to be royalty-free and interoperable. It should support multi-vendor-strategies and has to provide a future-proof communication framework. The result should be an open industrial standard with a high potential for the future. Mission Statement 9

10 goals and targets Strategic point of view simplifying connectivity between business and applications create an environment in which innovative telematics services can be developed delivered cost effectively hence to increase the range of economic telematics services available to manufacturers and users royalty-free interface license interoperable to support multi vendor strategies enhance telematics services reducing the costs for implementing reducing the costs for operating future-proof protocol architecture Functional point of view definition of a standardized and generic protocol usage of a logical syntax and description technology-neutral support of the common communication networks GSM-SMS, GSM-GPRS without usage of any special network features open communication layer to support future developments in communication technology (while honoring the OSI layer model) defined Quality of Service (QoS) reduced size of data structures and overhead energy efficient (for autonomous use cases) increased mechanism for system security 10

11 open standards Why are open standards important? open standards are well documented specifications are given away open standards are mostly royalty-free they reduce barriers for collaboration zero-cost model spurs adoption widespread adoption generates wider implementation and further interest in specification interest generates memberships which provides ongoing operational capital Why use open standards? reduce complexity for less implementation time lowered IT costs for implementing and operating simplify integration and validation reusability from customer to customer approach with increased choice of vendors more agile and responsive business Increase cost competitiveness investment protection credibility in the market for end-users I use open telematics interface (opti) credibility in the market for manufactures I m open telematics interface (opti) compliant 11

16 technical challenges Situation in the Future Challenges to solve Heterogeneous System Different operators Different vendors of mobile units (MU) communication servers (CS) Different needs and features on freight cars and locomotives Different limitations from the hardware Extendability For new needs and features Concurrent deployment not possible! Dynamic extendability required Simple versioning not adequate 16

18 how to solve? Generic Protocol Communication settings Reporting and query Configurable mobile unit (MU) behavior Event Action Modes Configurable periphery as a bridge between real and generic world Goals Mind the semantic gap protocol as precise as possible Support of future needs Extendability A subset of the generic protocol shall be adequate for all use-cases 18

19 benefits and costs Benefits Operator Interoperability (heterogeneous system) Internally Externally with other operators Enables second source for mobile units (MU) Vendors Short learning curve New markets Usable for other application fields (e.g. container, asset tracking, etc.) Return on Investment (ROI) Costs Modification of current communication server (CS) and application server (AS) Adaptation of the use-cases 19
