ERA-Glonass: Technological Framework and Applications
Panel Discussion "ERA-Glonass: Technological Framework and Applications" (Panel Moderator - Prof. Alexander Smirnov, SPIIRAS) will be held in Park Inn Pulkovskaya on August 25 at 12:00 - 14:00.
Keynote "ERA-GLONASS System Requirements, Technological Framework and client devices" by Dr. Yaroslav Domaratsky (Director of automotive electronics department, Navigation Information Systems, Joint Stock Company)
12:00 - 13:00 (45 min presentation + 15 min for questions)
Abstract: In the presentation we will discuss "ERA-GLONASS" system requirements and main differences between "ERA-GLONASS" and eCall systems. Then we will review back-end software architecture and technological framework. In addition, we will review "ERA-GLONASS" terminal requirements and statistical data for comments received from automotive electronics companies and vehicle OEM's. Finally we will go through 2011 year plans in back end system and terminal development areas.
Keynote speaker bio: Yaroslav Domaratsky works for JSC NIS starting April 2010. From 2001 till 2010 Yaroslav was acting as Distinguished Member of Technical staff in Motorola SW development center in St. Petersburg. In 2008-2010 Yaroslav was Automotive and Navigation SW development manager in Motorola Mobile Devices Companion Products. From 2001 till 2008 Yaroslav was working as the Chief technical specialist in Automotive and Telematics SW development department, Motorola Global Software Group being responsible for department technical strategy, technical coordination between various projects and individual projects execution in the area of embedded SW development for internal Motorola needs and for external customers including Toyota, Volvo, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, BMW, and Jaguar Land Rover. Yaroslav holds PhD degree and has more than 20 scientific and technical publications.

"LDR-UMTS/GSM GLONASS/GPS Nad Core Element of an e-Call/Era Terminal" by Lutz P. Richter, VP Product Strategy / Intellectual Property, Peiker Acustic GmbH (Germany)
Abstract:
We are a licensee of QUALCOMM and using a MDM6200 chipset (supporting UMTS HSPA+) for our applications.
Based on a eCall-workshop the GSM Association published “Embedded Mobile – Whitepaper Embedded Mobile Guidelines” (v2 of March 2011) with a guideline for embedded modules: “Emergency call should be supported by any modules supplied for emergency purposes to the automotive vertical sector. Module types for eCall shall at least support GSM and UMTS in the 900MHz band…”
It is also specified in clause 6.1.3 of 3GPP TR22.967 (v10 – March 2011): “ETSI MSG requires that the terminal shall be dual mode GSM/GPRS and UMTS (WCDMA – 900MHz) in order to ensure full European coverage during the lifetime of the car.”
Our idea was to create a NAD, supporting GSM/UMTS& GLONASS /GPS but supporting low data rates (384kbps) only in the UMTS900 and UMTS2100 band. This makes it much cheaper because of much lower UMTS license fees. We think that such a device could be the core of every eCall / ERA terminal.

"Next step of in-vehicle devices integration: new approaches to connectivity" by Konstantin A. Khait, Head of Automotive R&D, Luxoft Technology Strategy Center (Russia)
Abstract:
The historical trend of in-vehicle infotainment devices comes up to the classic real time systems. Ten years of evolution formed a kind of the standard of how user-oriented part of automotive electronics must be organized. However the classic real time and "race for quality" now become under big pressure of commodity user oriented technologies. User doesn't want high reliability MP3 player anymore, but wants the full scale on-board computer with online services access, modern connectivity and applications.
Demands and preferences are changing rapidly and automotive world has to create a kind of its own platform converting regular technological background to in-vehicle devices.
This approach is changing many things. It shall cause the end of head units era: driver's experience must migrate to the instruments cluster, passengers is to be moved to the dedicated screens and mobile gadgets to become a part of in-vehicle network including the entire set of IVI devices.
The next step of in-vehicle infotainment is not just a car with media center, but the LAN or even WLAN enabled system smoothly connecting pre-installed and pluggable devices.
