Body Electronics & AUTOSAR
Body Electronics & AUTOSAR
Since 2003, some of the world’s largest Automotive OEMs have joined the AUTOSAR global development partnership with an objective to establish open and standardized software architecture for Automotive electronic control units (ECUs).
Today, the automotive industry is being disrupted by OEMs, Tier-1s, tool vendors, semiconductor suppliers, and integrators are making significant technological investments in ECUs, Zone Control Units (ZCUs), Domain Control Units (DCUs), Vehicle Central Computing Units (VCCUs), and Collaborative Cognitive Control Units (CCCUs). Some of the possibilities enabled by Sasken in realizing AUTOSAR are:
- Enabling OEMs and Tier-1s to decouple vehicle functionality and features
- Modularization of the hardware and software architecture needs
- Helping partners remain profitable by enabling them to monetize the hardware, software and system integration solutions, services, and support
- Simplifying audits, standards compliance, and quality
- Creating newer business models in mobility
Trends | Implications | Challenges Sasken is Solving | |||
Increase in adoption of AUTOSAR based architecture to reduce costs and time to market | Need to move to AUTOSAR based modular architecture for ECUs | Selection of AUTOSAR stack and components | |||
Emergence of Adaptive AUTOSAR in Body Electronics domain | Migrate event driven ECUs architecture to Adaptive AUTOSAR architecture | Transformation of ECU architectures with non-critical features | |||
Consolidation of ECUs to lower cost, simplifying OTA updates, and reducing power consumption and overall vehicle weight | Introduction of ECUs, DCUs, ZCUs, Gateways, Vehicle Central Computing Units (VCCUs) collaborating as cognitive control units with high degree of configurability and re-use | Virtual ECU development emulating peripherals | |||
Emergence of new in-vehicle communication technologies | Need to implement CAN FD, SOME/IP, DDS, RESTful, IPC communication | Selecting right technology choice for inter ECU communications | |||
New use cases in Body Electronics domain | Reducing Body Control module load and limited to critical functions | Using AI and Data Analytics to support new use cases, variant handling, and partial networking | |||
Increase in Safety and Security concerns |
Separation of critical and non-critical functionalities |
AUTOSAR Conformance, Functional Safety as per Development Interface Agreement and Cyber Security Compliance | |||
Stress on improving test coverage | Need to automate model-based development and testing | Finalizing test acceptance criteria | |||
