This paper describes a system for helping teen drivers track there experience while training to obtain their driver's license. The proposed system is a portable in-vehicle device run by an embedded microcontroller that logs student driver hours and mileage and a PC program to create reports from the recorded data. The proposed device uses a GPS receiver to track distance traveled and time spent driving.
The E/E (Electrical/Electronic) Architecture is the key enabler for new innovative user functions in the automotive domain. The E/E Architecture needs to manage the complexity of the E/E System in a cost-efficient manner. This is a fact for all domains developing mass-produced distributed systems containing embedded software. However, many companies in these domains are missing a clear description...
The size and complexity of large-scale distributed embedded systems such as automotive and process controls have increased recently. Sophisticated systems that are safe and environmentally friendly require numerous types of sensor data, which are collected from various devices and sent to computers through networks. To develop such large-scale distributed embedded systems with high dependability and...
This paper presents a cost-effective approach to design an embedded autopilot system for a 4-rotor aerial vehicle. The system is targeted for autonomous control research, and it consists of an onboard system and a ground station. The onboard system interfaces with the vehicle and provides data link for sensor measurements and control data. The ground station provides a user-friendly interface for...
The potential of applying search-based testing principles to functional testing has been demonstrated in various cases. The focus was mainly on simulating the system under test using a model or compiled source code in order to evaluate test cases. However, in many cases only the final hardware unit is available for testing. This research presents an approach in which evolutionary functional testing...
EAST-ADL2 is a domain-specific architecture description language to support the model-based development of automotive embedded systems. It emerged to manage the complexity of software and electronics in advanced automotive applications. The language focuses on the structural definition for functional specifications. Behavior is defined only on the component level, in terms of functional blocks and...
With ARM7 as the core, the new intelligent mobile vehicle checking system integrated a lot of hardware modules such as video capture, GPS positioning and wireless transmission, the design of the system software used the embedded software developing platform based on ADS integrated development environment. By the hardware/software co-design, the new intelligent mobile vehicle checking system implemented...
Fleet management is an important topic in research and development nowadays. Companies, security and emergency forces need to keep track of their trucks and cars and know where a vehicle is at a moment in time, and when, where and for how long a vehicle stopped. In this paper, a system for automating fleet management systems is described. The hardware of our system is a microprocessor-based embedded...
To make use of the availability of Controller Area Network (CAN) messages for the various new applications of car control, such as active safety, traffic efficiency and driver assistance, the objective of this paper is to build a firmware platform for communication between the CAN bus in vehicle and a host PC for car control. The firmware has two ports which are connected to the CAN bus so as to monitor...
In an overview paper called State of the Art: Embedding Security in Vehicles, Wolf et al. give a general state-of- the-art overview of IT security in vehicles and describe core security technologies and relevant security mechanisms. In this paper we show that a formal analysis of many of the related properties is possible. This indicates that many expected aspects in the design of vehicular security...
The FAILSAFE project is developing concepts and prototype implementations for software health management in mission-critical real-time embedded systems. The project unites features of the industry standard ARINC 653 Avionics Application Software Standard Interface and JPL's Mission Data System (MDS) technology. The ARINC 653 standard establishes requirements for the services provided by partitioned...
Hard real-time embedded distributed systems pose huge demands in their implementation which must contain as few faults as possible. Over the past years, model-driven development and automatic code generation have proven to effectively reduce design faults in those systems. Still, models are mainly used for parts of the systems' functionality and most solutions do not address the generation of a whole...
The automotive industry is, like several other domains, a source of both challenging problems and innovative technologies of various kinds. One interesting phenomenon in this domain is the extensive interdependencies between the constituent nodes, or ECUs, of its networked embedded system. This in turn leads to extensive interactions between ECUs over the network infrastructure of an automobile.
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to an AUTOSAR-based tool for the vehicular applications. The embedded software in vehicles is recently required to manage complex functionalities. To address this challenge, a new paradigm has emerged in the automotive industry. Similarly, an AUTOSAR project was established by leading manufacturers and suppliers. This supports a distributed development process...
The configurations of an automotive embedded system are normally fixed in production and remain static over the vehicle lifetime. Future scenarios, however, call for more flexible configuration support. DySCAS (dynamically self-configuring automotive systems) project aims to introduce context-awareness and self-management features into automotive embedded systems via middleware technologies. Contributing...
This paper presents a novel security architecture for in-vehicle communication. The ratio of electronics to vehicle equipment is steadily increasing. And novel vehicles will also have connectibility to public networks to provide many kinds of services. Therefore, they are expected to suffer from a wide variety of threats and the electronic control units (ECUs) embedded in them may execute execute...
In this paper we propose to use components for managing the increasing complexity in modern vehicular systems. Compared to other approaches, the distinguishing feature of our work is using and benefiting from components throughout the development process from early design to development and deployment, and an explicit separation of concerns at different levels of granularity. Based on the elaboration...
In the coal mine, open field or a severe surveillance environment, the use of computers and data collection card to achieve surveillance task is fairly dangerous and unreliable. This paper analyzes platform selection in special surveillance environment based on such problems as the high possibility of flammability and explosion, high humidity and lots of dust in surveillance environment, and the inconvenience...
This paper describes how we can use existing mobile technology to track the vehicle. Here the embedded system along with the mobile is used to prevent the vehicle from being stolen and also if the vehicle is stolen then its location can be tracked. Mobile technology is the fastest growing communication mode. In todaypsilas mobile technology we all are acquainted with short message service (SMS). In...
In this paper we present a component model for development of distributed real-time systems. The model is developed to support development of embedded control systems for ground vehicles. The model aims at supporting three important activities in real-time development, (i) design, (ii) analysis and (iii) synthesis. These activities emphasise different and sometimes conflicting requirements that need...
