Abstract
Recently, the commercial potentials and practical values of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) have been witnessed for sustainable development of smart cities in the field of intelligent transportation. Driven by the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), vehicles gradually become mobile living spaces to satisfy diverse demands of occupants, where the media functionalities, scenario scopes, and user engagements can be all expended dramatically. In the era of 5G/B5G, the intelligent connected vehicles are considered as super media because of the improved In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI). In this paper, relying on the advanced communication and intelligent techniques, we investigate the IoV-based vehicle-mounted media scenarios and construct IVI solutions for the MaaS. Firstly, we propose the characteristics of vehicle-mounted media scenarios and present the IVI evolution from the aspects of hearing, vision and multi-sensory media services. Secondly, we point out the main features and limitations of IoV-based IVI in 3G/4G. Finally, exploring the potential of super media, both the linkage display and IVI collaborative modes in vehicle-centric media scenarios are introduced as IVI solutions for the MaaS in 5G-V2X and beyond, which intend to further improve the audio-visual experiences of occupants and observers in urban environments.
Highlights
Since Karl Benz was granted the German patent of the three-wheeled vehicle in the late 19 century, the car replaced the carriage and was recognized as a hot and explosive medium, which can provide people with equal opportunities and play a significant role in entertainment [1]
The navigation data are provided from offline carriers as well as online media transferred from roadside units (e.g., Bosch Autofahrer–Leit–und Informationssystem (ALI)), which further strengthen the functions of navigation system
We have studied the Internet of Vehicles (IoV)-based In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) solutions for the Mobility as a Service (MaaS), aiming to extend the functionalities of vehicle-mounted media scenarios and enhance the quality of physical-experience during commuting
Summary
Since Karl Benz was granted the German patent of the three-wheeled vehicle in the late 19 century, the car replaced the carriage and was recognized as a hot and explosive medium, which can provide people with equal opportunities and play a significant role in entertainment [1]. The extension of urban area incurs the long-distance commute and the driving time gets longer. As estimated by the U.S Census Bureau during the period of 2014–2018, workers’ one-way average commuting time is 26.6 min. It is necessary to guarantee drivers and passengers to get the traffic information, and provide fantastic In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) to kill the fragmented time during commuting. The role of vehicle has been transformed from a stand-alone transport tool to the mobile living space. The focuses of automobiles and consumers shift from the mechanical and dynamic performance to the high-qualified online IVI services, which will improve the Quality of Physical-Experience (QoPE) and boost the vehicles’ added value
