Abstract:

Electro Mobility is a rapidly growing and evolving application domain of the Internet of Things, with a huge market potential in various areas. It incorporates many stakeholders - from manufacturers to the players of the energy market - with all sorts of physical and virtual resources. This paper focuses on the communication issues related to the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) subsystems in relation with the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging market, which subdomain incorporates the fundamental aspects of eMobility use cases. This paper presents the establishment and operation of the e-Mobility infrastructure supported by the Arrowhead framework. First, the stakeholders and their relationships are identified based on well-known market models and state-of-the-art open standards. After this, a distributed, service-oriented infrastructure is proposed and demonstrated through the integration of legacy and new application systems within the framework. The integration between the recharging infrastructure and the smart grid is also covered.
