Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), which are Off board charging capable Electric Vehicles (EV) with an on board charging generator, rely on very complex Rechargeable Energy Storage Systems (RES....
Virtualization or PC based testing of the ECU software is becoming predominant within the automotive industry to augment test bench verification of ECU software to reduce development costs and time to....
Maximizing reuse of existing software assets is a common goal for companies as they move to new projects and products. Typically, reuse is complicated by changes to the context in which the software e....
The size and complexity of embedded software in automotive systems has been increasing rapidly. This makes the analysis of such systems difficult. For instance, in many analyses it is required to trac....
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications are gaining increasing importance in automotive research and engineering domains. The novel communication scheme is targeted....
Automotive electronics are complex distributed embedded systems. The tight interconnection of the different functionalities (e.g. ABS, ESP) makes the network resource the backbone of the system. Time-....
In this paper, a new high-speed bus topology LAN protocol for automobiles is proposed and its compatibility with the traditional CAN protocol is discussed. The transfer rate of traditional CAN cannot ....
The development of vehicle communication networks is challenged not only by the increasing demand in data exchange and required data rate but also the need to connect the vehicle to external sources f....
Event Scheduled CAN (ESCAN) is a new, open sourced, scheduling protocol for CAN. The aims of the protocol are discussed, including the ability to optimise the available bandwidth over CAN and enable m....
Automakers currently use Ethernet for fast batch transfers when updating software in ECUs in a vehicle. But Ethernet is also planned for real-time traffic as well; in the short term future for streami....
The SAE J2716 SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) Protocol has entered production with a number of announced products. The SENT protocol is a point-to-point scheme for transmitting signal values fr....
To fulfil the increasing requirements of electric/electronic architectures in automotive environments new concepts for future Electronic Control Units (ECU) are needed. Novel hardware architectures of....
The FlexRay serial data protocol is being considered in automotive vehicle architectures as an enabler for active safety, time critical systems due to the advantages it provides for time-determinism, ....
It is well known, that the FlexRay protocol implementation vendors and integrators verify their products by in-house tests. To apply a common and unified testing standard, the official FlexRay protoco....
