PASS-TCU User Manual 4 2 About This Product The Personal Assistance and Safety System (PASS) serves as the central platform of a telematics system, where all telematics-related technologies are deeply integrated. PASS communicates to a central service center through the communication network device and in turn the service center helps deliver telematics services to the customer. PASS handles the communication from the vehicle to the outside infrastructure via various wireless systems. Besides, a localization manager will ensure proper positioning information for all telematics services. PASS contains a GPS receiver, cellular transceiver, and modem/transceiver control board. PASS supports all the telematics services, which are listed below: • Remote Door Unlock • Road Side Assistance (R-Call) • Emergency Assistance (E-Call) • Automatic Crash Notification (CAN) • Stolen Vehicle Tracking • Automatic Maintenance The access to PASS system functionality is granted via several application programming interfaces from within the platform or to other in-car applications over the vehicle network system. In that way the application software will become independent from the used hardware. PASS can be characterized as a distributed, heterogeneous hardware/ software system, which provides functionality and services to the customer via the interaction of several devices. These hardware components are interconnected by standardized car networks (e.g. Discrete I/O line, CAN bus) and by wireless communication channels (e.g. GSM). The features accomplished UConnect System Include: - Bluetooth Hands Free Calling - Universal Consumer Interface (Portable Music Player Integration) Additional investigate features are: - Remote Vehicle Diagnostics and Data Collection - Off Board Navigation A separate RFI will also be issued to Customer Service Center operators to provide the ‘back-end’ services. It is assumed that communication will take place via an integrated cellular modem although other innovative solutions are always considered.

PASS-TCU User Manual 7 3.2 Roadside Assistance Overview The Roadside Assistance service allows the customer to get in touch with the Service Center in case of a breakdown of the vehicle or for any non-emergency assistance. A request for the Roadside Assistance can be triggered by manually pressing a button available within the car. This service allows the service center to provide quick and efficient assistance to the customer. The service can also be triggered automatically when predefined thresholds (remaining distance, remaining time) have been reached. Figure 3: Road Assistance Overview.
PASS-TCU User Manual 8 3.3 Remote Nearby Service Overview The Remote Nearby service allows the customer to unlock the vehicle, if the customer is nearby the vehicle. The customer can call the service center to request for the RDU service. Customer contacts the Service Center to order service Remote Door Unlock Unlock vehicleService Center accepts customer‘s order Transmission of customer‘s order to vehicle & ' Customer locked his vehicle with keys inside Vehicle accepts Unlock command and unlocks doors, trunk and tank Vehicle sends Door Unlock request to the Service CenterCustomer activates the service by pressing the trunk button for 15 sec Service center requests for password And customer provides the password Password Figure 4: Remote Door Unlock Overview.
PASS-TCU User Manual 9 4 Technical Specifications
PASS-TCU User Manual 10 5 Definitions and Acronyms OTA: Over the Air Ambient Temperature: Temperature surrounding the component as tested in a test chamber or as installed in the vehicle. Category and subcategory: In this document, electronic modules, electric motors and inductive devices are classified into categories and subcategories, which determine the appropriate test requirements. ECU: Electronic Control Unit DUT: Device Under Test Component: Any electrical or electronic assembly used in the vehicle, such as engine control module, instrument cluster, junction block, sensor, switch, etc. Also used interchangeably with terms such as ECU, Module, Device, DUT, etc. Ignition Voltage Lines: The supply voltage lines to a DUT that are fed from the vehicle electrical power distribution system through the ignition switch. Inductive Device: An electromechanical device that stores energy in a magnetic field. Examples are solenoids, relays, buzzers and electromechanical horns. IOD: Ignition Off Current Draw. IP Class: International Protection classification for solid and/or water intrusion for automotive applications as described in DIN 40 050. RKE: Remote Keyless Entry TPM Sensor: Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Non-operational: A component shall be considered “Non-operational”, if it is connected to a power source, but does not perform any normal operating functions during the test. The condition requires use of mating connectors during the test. This condition is similar to the one experienced by an E/E component in a parked vehicle. NTC: Negative Temperature Co-efficient (Device with NTC feature shuts off power supply or reduces certain component applications (e. g. CD-playing for a car radio) when device temperature goes below certain minimum operating temperature specified). Operational: A component shall be considered "Operational", if it performs functions as experienced during vehicle operations on a continuous basis (without any interruptions). Power source may be from vehicle battery, ignition feed or an independent power source, as in case of, RKE, or TPM Sensor, etc. PET: Parametric Evaluation Technique.
PASS-TCU User Manual 11 Power-off: A component shall be considered "Power-off", when it is not electrically connected to a power source, as in case of shipping or storage conditions. “Power-off” condition may require use of mating connectors during some of the tests and shall be specified clearly in the “Test Parameters”. PTC: Positive Temperature Co-efficient (Device with PTC feature shuts off power supply or reduces certain component applications (e. g. CD-playing for a car radio) when device temperature goes above certain maximum operating temperature specified). PV: Production Validation. Soak Time (Tsoak): Time taken by component to reach chamber ambient temperature at high or low temperature during thermal cycling tests from the time chamber temperature reaches corresponding high or low temperature levels. Temperature class: Classification of maximum temperature a component will experience based on its mounting location and specific packaging variations in the vehicle. Tmin: Lowest ambient temperature experienced by any component (Usually -40 0C). Tmax: Highest ambient temperature experienced by any component. Value of Tmax depends on temperature class of the component. Usage Life Profile (ULP): It is a software tool that assists in selecting the applicable qualification tests and test parameters for a component based on input data such as design or service life, in-vehicle component location, customer driving/usage pattern or other environmental stresses. Vibration Class: Classification of vibration intensities a component will experience based on its mounting location in the vehicle.
