Blueprint overview/Introduction

Autoware is the world's first "all-in-one" open-source software for self-driving vehicles hosted under the Autoware Foundation.

The Autoware.Auto project, based on ROS 2, is the next generation successor of the Autoware.AI project, based on ROS 1.

The major differentiators of Autoware.Auto compared to Autoware.AI are:

1. Modern software engineering best practices including code reviews, continuous integration testing, thorough documentation, thorough test coverage, style and development guides
2. Improved system architecture and module interface design (including messages and APIs)
3. An emphasis on reproducibility and determinism at the library, node, and system levels

The AI Edge is an Akraino approved blueprint family and part of Akraino Edge Stack, which intends to provide an open source MEC platform combined with AI capacities at the Edge, and could be used for safety, security, and surveillance. The MEC platform, which named ote-stack, targets on shielding the heterogeneous characteristics through underlying hardware virtualization and providing an unified access for cloud edge, mobile edge and private edge. In addition, the AI Edge utilizes the cluster management and intelligent scheduling of multi-tier clusters to enable low-latency, high-reliability and cost-optimal computing support for running AI applications at the edge. At the same time, it makes device-edge-cloud collaborative computing possible.

Application scope of Intelligent Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperation System(I-VICS): including airport and station passenger flow grooming system, urban traffic intelligent dispatching system, expressway intelligent dispatching system, operation vehicle dispatching management system, motor vehicle automatic control system, etc. The function of intelligent transportation system: it improves the efficiency of transportation, alleviates traffic congestion, improves the capacity of road network, reduces traffic accidents, reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution through the harmonious and close cooperation of people, vehicles and roads.
