Control and management of a connected car using YANG/RESTCONF and cloud computing

This paper describes the implementation of an innovative proof-of-concept (PoC) for a connected car, modeled with YANG, which can be remotely controlled using SDN/NFV technologies. In particular, the remote control of the car is based on a service application running on a remote data center. The demonstration is performed using a RESTCONF server installed in a Raspberry Pi aboard of a small car. This server is responsible for the sensors and actuators of the car and allows for its remote control from a user terminal (e.g., a smartphone, tablet, or laptop) and through the cloud, running a control application as a service.
