AGENT BASED SIMULATION OF THE FLEXRAY PROTOCOL: A CASE STUDY OF THE CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL SERVICES
Sofiane Zaidi, Fateh Boutekkouk · 2014
This paper deals with agent based design and simulation of the FlexRay protocol for automotive distributed embedded systems. FlexRay supports both time driven and event driven communications. The proposed architecture is modeled as a multi-agent system and implemented in the JADE platform following mainly the so-called O-MaSE methodology. Using JADE, We developed an ontology that provides an automatic interpretation of frame fields. Furthermore, this paper provides a case study of the clock synchronization service and the control of access to media service in the static and dynamic segments of FlexRay.
