Automotive Electronics Systems Innovation Network
WELCOME AESIN
AESIN isa dedicated UK initiative focused on the accelerated and advanced delivery of Electronic Systems (ES) into vehicles and infrastructure operated by the UK Trade Association - NMI. AESIN was launched in 2012 after several years in formation. It s core members include leaders in OEMs and each supplier tier from R&D to manufacturing. AESIN has a specialist focus on Electronic Systems and is complementary to the work of the automotive industry trade association SMMT and the UK Automotive Council. In 2013 the AESIN Core team elected Alan Banks from Visteon as Chairman AESIN provides specialist insight to the latest thinking from industry stakeholders providing an opportunity for SME s to become involved in supporting the automotive electronics revolution.

To facilitate world beating Electronic Systems (ES) innovation through collaborative innovation, expert knowledge and best practice. Influence accelerated technology development and innovation across the supply chain Accelerate UK derived ES innovation into Automotive Markets Be recognised as a specialist expert group feeding into the Automotive Council Objectives
Share best practices in a non threatening / non competitive environment (i.e. not in a commercial driven situation) Be recognised by ESCO (Electronics Systems Community) which estimates ES annual contribution to UK economy of 80billion pounds (5.4% of GDP) Align with Strategic objectives of the Innovate UK, Transport Catapult and BIS policies to gain access to Government / Agency funding for key development projects
Build on the UK strengths of Systems Engineering capability Sustain and enable growth of the key skills required in the Automotive electronics and wider Electronics industry in the UK Ensure we support Thought Leadership in our industry Vehicle Information networks Next generation Driver Information Next generation Connectivity Low carbon technologies
Formally recognised by Automotive Council as a credible value add organisation and invited to sit at their strategic planning table. Formally recognised by ESCO Established Annual Conference with 150 attendees in 2013 from Automotive, Electronics and Adjacent industries Established 2 major work-streams for initial projects Intelligent Mobility Advanced Propulsion Currently progressing a Connected Corridor project with significant interest from the Highways Agency
Project Outline AESIN
The evolution in electronics, intelligent transport systems, CE devices and vehicle systems are at the point where a cost effective connected car solution could be realised through either an embedded receiver or a mobile device There are many industry supporting standards for communications but they tend to be separate, divided by the location and the transport mechanism and as such disconnected This project will utilise existing networking practices from both the IT and automotive industry to demonstrate what is possible in a connected car architecture when combined with a wireless corridor The focus of the project is to define the interfaces and API s required to join the various communication frameworks and the software structures within the car to create a seamless communication solution Subject to appropriate approvals the solution would then be demonstrated on a trial basis on a major motorway within the UK Page 11
The project would be broken down into four phases Phase 1 Feasibility & business case ( 3-6months) Started Phase 2 Off site moving demonstration ( < 1 year ) Phase 3 On site live demonstration ( 1 year -18 months) Phase 4 - Next gen research Page 12
