The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. The grant funds research and development of a software-defined vehicle (SDV) framework that enables dynamic over-the-air (OTA) software updates and efficient data transmission for SDVs. Key products and services to be delivered include:
- A vehicle-edge-cloud framework to foster resilient collaborations between SDVs and roadside units for verified, timely software delivery.
- Compressive sensing technologies to enable low-bandwidth, low-latency data uplink from SDVs while in motion.
- Open-source SDV framework and strategies for dynamic OTA updates, which could help prevent accidents, save lives, and reduce software malfunction costs.
- Support for emergency response, adaptive regulatory compliance, and geolocation-based performance optimization for SDVs.
This research aims to address challenges in applying traditional OTA update methods to the complex hardware, software, and operational environments of SDVs. The work will be conducted at the College of William & Mary and is expected to be completed by August 31, 2026.
