Next Wave of Vehicle Diagnostics
In this chapter, we will get an understanding of the next generation of diagnostics, better suited to advancements in modern vehicles, including the Internet of Things (IoT) field. Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) is not well-suited to modern vehicle architecture, as it is static in nature and inflexible for software-defined vehicles, which tend to change more often. There is a need for a dynamic diagnostic protocol to meet the demands of modern technologies. This chapter covers Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD), the next wave of diagnostic protocols for modern vehicles. It also provides a reference SOVD demo, as well as a comparison between UDS and SOVD.
In this chapter, we’re mainly going to cover the following topics:
- Needs beyond UDS
- SOVD
- SOVD example, demo, and details
