Ibis announced that it will participate in the automotive industry technology development (R&D) project promoted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The project is titled "Open-Source-Based AI-SDV Integrated Platform and Cloud Virtual Verification Environment." Ibis will take part in the project as a joint research and development institution.
LG Electronics is the lead research and development institution for the project. The joint research and development institutions are Ibis, Arenne, Geonwoo Solution, AVGenius, and Kookmin University. The project will run from July 2026 to December 2029.
The project aims to establish an open-source-based AI-SDV integrated platform compatible with global standards. It also aims to establish a cloud virtual verification environment and secure a vehicle software foundation that the domestic automotive industry can use jointly.
Ibis explained that AI-SDV is an intelligent mobility platform based on an SDV integrated architecture. It also said that AI intelligence enhances vehicle functions, experiences, and operations, and continuously learns and evolves using driving and usage data.
As open software- and standard-based joint development expands in the global automotive industry, the importance of platform technologies that ensure compatibility across different vehicle and software environments is also growing.
Against this backdrop, Ibis will be responsible for developing the AI-SDV platform middleware module in this project, as well as a data abstraction module for compatibility with standard vehicle data. It will also develop a vehicle interface communication module for Multi-Zone control and will work on middleware function development for Eclipse S-CORE (Safe Open Vehicle Core).
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Bosch are participating in the joint development of Eclipse S-CORE. S-CORE sits between the operating system and vehicle applications in HPC/ECU for vehicles, and provides communication functions, data storage functions, interprocess connection functions, and application execution management functions as open source. S-CORE is a project that provides the common functions needed for vehicle software.
Ibis plans to first analyze the current implementation functions of S-CORE.
Ibis then plans to analyze additional required functions and, based on that, design and develop the missing middleware modules.
It also plans to develop data abstraction technology that converts vehicle- and platform-specific data formats into a common standard. The purpose of this data abstraction technology is to support the use of converted data.
In addition, Ibis plans to develop a response module for Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS), the vehicle data standard established by COVESA (Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance), as well as modules that respond to domestic and international vehicle data standards. Through this, it aims to use vehicle data consistently regardless of differences among vehicle manufacturers and platforms.
Ibis also plans to develop a vehicle interface communication module that responds to the next-generation vehicle Multi-Zone electronic architecture.
The Multi-Zone architecture divides a vehicle into multiple zones, with zone-specific controllers handling functions and connecting them to a central computer.
In this architecture, Ibis plans to develop communication functions for sending and receiving data between zone-specific controllers and software.
Nam Gimo, CEO of Ibis, said that the transition to SDV platforms based on open source and global standards is under way in the finished vehicle industry, and that making effective use of existing software assets and responding flexibly to heterogeneous platforms and standards are key tasks. He said the company will pursue securing S-CORE-based middleware, standard vehicle data conversion, and Multi-Zone communication technology through this project, and will respond to industry demand with the technologies it secures. He also said the company will expand the data abstraction and communication technologies applied to mass-produced vehicles into a global open-source and standards environment, and provide software technologies needed for finished vehicle and electronics companies' transition to next-generation SDV platforms.
