Blueprint overview/Introduction
Connected Vehicle Blueprint(CVB) is an Akraino approved blueprint and part of Akraino Edge Stack. The project is completely focused on Connected Vehicle Application run on Edge Computing.

UseCases | value proposition |
Accurate Location | The accuracy of location improved by over 10 times than today's system. Today’s GPS system is around 5-10meters away from your reallocation, <1 meter is possible with the help of edge computing. |
Smarter Navigation | Real-time traffic information update, reduces the latency from minutes to seconds, figure out the most efficient way for drivers. |
Safe DriveImprovement | Figure out the potential risks which can NOT be seen by the driver. See below. |
Reduce traffic violation | Let the driverunderstand the traffic rule in some specific area. For instance, change the line prior to a narrow street, avoiding the opposite way drive in the one-way road, avoiding carpool lane when a single driver and so on. |
Overall Architecture
The following picture depicts the architecture of the Connect Vehicle Blueprint, which consists of the following key components:
- Commodity Hardware, Arm/X86 Physical Server.
- IaaS Software, like Openstack, IaaS and so on
- Tars Microservice Platform
- Connected Vehicle Applications + Virtual Classromm(VR) Applications
The combination of Commodity Hardware and IaaS Software provides flexible deployments, like Bare Metal, Virtual Machine as well as Container.
...
Connected Vehicle Applications are some different applications that fulfill Accurate Location, Smarter Navigation, Safe Drive Improvement and Reduce traffic violations.

Software Platform Architecture
The following is the general architecture of Tars, which is a major component in R3.
...
Tars is an edge compute microservice platform with low latency, high quality.
