A novel scheduling concept, called switched scheduling, for efficient bandwidth usage in a FlexRay cluster is introduced. It assumes a synchronized FlexRay cluster divided into several branches using ....
FlexRay is an emerging communication technology used within Automotive In-Vehicle networking applications. However consideration of environmental variations, as well as device and overall system toler....
With regard to the use of portable consumer electronic devices in an automobile, Bluetooth has become a widely accepted method for short range wireless communication between a vehicle and a portable d....
This paper considers the verification of non-standard CAN network topologies of the physical layer at high speed transmission rate (500.0Kbps and 1.0Mbps). These network topologies including single st....
This paper is an overview of the current state (calendar year 2010) of in-vehicle multiplexing and what pertinent technologies are emerging. Usage and trends of in-vehicle networking protocols will be....
In order to master the increasing complexity of electrical/electronic (E/E) systems in vehicles, E/E architecture design has become an established discipline. The task of the E/E architecture design i....
Hard real-time systems such as automotive control systems have to guarantee that strict deadlines are met for applications. Recent automotive control systems have been network systems that have combin....
Misfire diagnostics are required to detect missed combustion events which may cause an increase in emissions and a reduction in performance and fuel economy. If the misfire detection system is based o....
Field reprogramming of electronic control units (ECU) via the serial communication bus for feature upgrades, software fixes is an area which has potential cost impacts to the OEMs. Due to increasing s....
The process of developing new functions and software for powertrain embedded control units (ECUs) is undergoing a sea change. One of the reasons is the pressure to meet regulatory requirements (e.g. e....
