The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from the concept of conventional vehicles to a network of connected systems. The “connected vehicle” paradigm shift is accompanied by a continuous evolution in regulatory frameworks, the purpose is to improve both consumer safety and environmental protection, following the technological progress.
This paper aims to comprehensively examine the evolving European regulatory landscape in the context of connected vehicles. Starting with an analysis of the European regulations affecting connectivity: the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) framework, the Data Act, Euro 7, and the European Battery Regulation, moreover, the study aims to extrapolate from the regulations the data sets that would need to be managed by the car and transmitted over-the-air to an external server. The research delves into the complexities of integrating connectivity requirements
into widespread automotive architectures, identifying the effects on key electronic components. In addition, potential challenges for automakers are considered, with a particular focus on the additional burdens that small volume manufacturers will face.
Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the entire work and presents the process for the development of European regulations. Through Chapter 2, 3 and 4 are assessed the scope and the requirements relevant to connectivity of the regulations identified. Chapter 5 starts with an extrapolation of the data to be transmitted according to the regulations. It continues with the identification of effects on the vehicle, considering the widespread electronic architectures, and highlighting how the upcoming requirements affects the main electronic components. The study concludes with the assessment of the effect at company level in terms of management of the servers aimed to receive data.
