The Challenge
With various types of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication have been developed to meet the different use cases and scenarios, the security underpinning these communications needs to be consistent and effective across the full spectrum of V2X communications.
Until recently, V2X communication has been based primarily on the ITS-G5 protocol, a dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) standard using WiFi signals. During the data exchange, each party or device needs to verify their permissions.
Challenges in sumary:
Commercial:
- Deploy the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS)
- Implement and offer secure, standardized solution for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication
Technical:
- Secure creation and management of millions of digital certificates and keys

The Solution
Solution:
- Public key infrastructures (PKIs) are used to secure the environment by verifying the participants’ permissions with the use of certificates.
- Developing and offering the certificate authority solutions that would incorporate the necessary new attributes into the digital certificates required for V2X communications
- Entrust nShield HSMs are used to securely generate and store cryptographic keys. It also supports a formerly unprecedently high volume of cryptographic operations

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
