Model Based Approach for the Integration of ECUs
Rajeshwari Hegde, K. S. Gurumurthy · 2008
A modern automotive system is a complex electro- mechanical system, whose comfort, safety and performance requirements have warranted their implementation by way of multiple number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in it. ECUs, the fundamental building blocks of any automotive subsystem used to be relatively simple, hardware oriented systems. Today, they are multi-purpose, multi-chip computer systems where more functionality is often delivered in software than in hardware. An attempt has been made in this paper to introduce the concept of model based approach for the integration of ECUs supplied by multiple Tier1 vendors. Index Terms—AUTOSAR, ECU, OEM
