The Open V2X Management Platform

In this paper, we present an open-source web-based system, called Open V2X Management Platform (O-V2X-MP), which facilitates the management of charging points for electric vehicles with the goal of realizing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) scenarios. We describe its backend, which is composed of numerous components through a microservices architecture leveraging Docker containers. Using the C4 model methodology, we present the system context diagram with the main actors that interact with O-V2X-MP, the container diagram with the main communication flows between its components and the component diagram with the modules comprising the core of the platform. We also delve into the value-added services of O-V2X-MP, namely the billing engine, the REST APIs that enable interconnections and integration with external systems, the data analytics capabilities and the cyber-security module. We conclude with our future plans for the platform's frontend.
