Eclipse SDV Hackathon on BCX2022

One-Pager (PowerPoint, PDF)

Welcome to the 'Passenger Welcome' hack challenge!

The idea of the 'Passenger Welcome' use case is that the driver (or a passenger) is detected while he is approaching the vehicle. Based on this information, your Welcome Vehicle Application could control a sequence of events, such as welcoming the passenger with a special lighting sequence (using lights outside and/or inside the car), automatically opening the door or trunk, adjusting the seat position according to driver preferences, the same for steering wheel position, cabin temperature or air condition, etc. – there is no limitation to the creativity in this hackathon. What comes to your mind about how your own vehicle or a carsharing car should behave when a passenger approaches?

This hack challenge focuses on encouraging creativity, ideate ideas in the form of rapid prototyping in the playground of digital.auto and transfer them easily to a working vehicle application trying out them on a devide using the Eclipse projects Velocitas, Kuksa and Leda and, if applicable, SommR.

In this hack challenge, you can

• ideate your use case in easy way by using the provided playground,
• explore the Eclipse SDV ecosystem of open source projects, such as programming models, vehicle abstraction layer and protocol implementations.

Your hack team should have the following skills:

• Some development skills in Python
• Rudimentary Linux, git, shell skills are always a plus.
• Some knowledge in network protocols such as MQTT is good.
• A bit of Docker, containerd, k8s experience would be good as well, for building your app as a container and deploy it to a container runtime on the device.

We would recomment the following steps for the hack challenge:

Step 1 - Prototype your idea of the 'Passenger Welcome' functionality

Step 2 - Transfer your prototype into a vehicle application

Step 3 - Extend your application and test locally

Step 4 - Build and deploy to a device

You can test your prototype for example on the following hardware setups:

Sead Adjuster Suitcase	Bulli Lights Suitcase	Raspberry PI

You can combine this hack challenge with the HackChallenge: Control Vehicle Lights in case you ideate an implementation with lights.

Happy hacking!
