SDV Example Use Case: Vehicle wallet for automated payments

[mikehaller]

During a hackathon event, another idea of an SDV example use case came up: a vehicle wallet service for automated payments.

Real world use cases:

• Automated payment of parking lot fees, road tolls or energy charging stations
• Automated identification (authentication, authorization) of vehicle and driver, e.g. for closed, proprietary parking areas

Eclipse Leda / Hackathon show case:

• To show a working Vehicle-to-X communication example with support for actual hardware, so that it can be shown / used physically during hackathons

Involved technologies and components

• Distributed Ledger (DLT), IOTA (see IOTA Blog)
• Implementation for communication protocol between vehicle and Point-of-Sale, such as (ISO 15118)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118] for charging stations
• A Vehicle Service encapsulating the service functionalities, exposing a northbound API for interaction with GUI apps or cloud services.
• Hardware: a cheap NFC extension for the Raspberry Pi to simulate the V2X communication

ISO15118 talks about 2 methods of payment

• External Identification Mode : Payment Authentication is done via means like RFID.
• Plug n Charge: Here the payment validation is done by exchanging certificate information.

There is a project under Linux Foundation https://github.com/EVerest/EVerest may be this could be included in leda?
