Abstract—The European Eureka/Celtic Plus project
CoMoSeF (Co-operative Mobility Services of the Future) aims to
create co-operative mobility solutions (including devices and
applications), feasible for large scale deployment. In practice this
means combined vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-toinfrastructure (V2I), communication system employing
interactive example services related to safety and weather
information exchange. In this paper we present FMI (Finnish
Meteorological Institute) approach to employ CoMoSef vehicular
networking entity by creating a specific service hotspot for
vehicles bypassing the combined Road Weather Station
(RWS)/Road Side Unit (RSU). Local road weather and route
weather (a special type of weather service tailored for dedicated
road stretches, constructed both from FMI meteorological
systems data and the data collected from local RWSs) are the
obvious services offered, but in addition to them there is a variety
of services available, from specialized weather data into more
general traffic information and local accident warnings. The
ultimate aim is to provide data to vehicles regardless of their
communication devices available. The supported media at the
moment consists of IEEE 802.11p and traditional Wi-Fi
communication operated through special vehicle computer,
Android-based tablet PC or standard laptop computer, but it is
expected to be supplemented at least with iPad- and Jolla-devices,
respectively.
