Abstract:

Vehicle networking (VNC) is a combine of vehicle and “Telematics”. A new VNC concept based on
triple-network convergence was put forward to answer some misunderstanding in VNC. The three networks
include the on-board mobile internet, the inter-vehicle network, and the in-vehicle networking. The Telematics,
the V2V (vehicle to vehicle) / V2I (vehicle to infrastructure), and the in-vehicle networking are fusing each other,
and are integrating to V2X (X includes vehicles, infrastructures, pedestrians, internets or other needs). The
definition and the connotation of VNC were proposed with the three core values including mobility, safety, and
environment, and with three applicability key-technologies and four common key-technologies. The applications
in automotive industry and prospects of the VNC were indicated.

Key words: automotive industry, vehicle networking, intelligent transport systems, safety assistance, ecodriving;
Telematics, vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I)
