Highlighting requirements, technologies, and business models, the Automotive Embedded Systems Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of existing and future automotive electronic systems. It presents state-of-the-art methodological and technical solutions in the areas of in-vehicle architectures, multipartner development processes, software engineering methods, embedded communications, and safety and dependability assessment. Divided into four parts, the book begins with an introduction to the design constraints of automotive-embedded systems. It also examines AUTOSAR as the emerging de facto standard and looks at how key technologies, such as sensors and wireless networks, will facilitate the conception of partially and fully autonomous vehicles. The next section focuses on networks and protocols, including CAN, J1850, FlexRay, and TTCAN. The third part explores the design processes of electronic embedded systems, along with new design methodologies, such as the virtual platform. The final section presents validation and verification techniques relating to safety issues. Providing domain-specific solutions to various technical challenges, this book serves as a reliable, complete, and well-documented source of information on automotive embedded systems. • Presents a state-of-the-art account of the development processes, techniques, and tools of computer-based functions embedded in vehicles • Offers balanced viewpoints from industry and academic experts, car manufacturers, and suppliers • Outlines the features and functioning schemes of CAN, J1850, FlexRay, and TTCAN protocols • Addresses the main problems in the design of automotive embedded systems, including time-to-market, variability, and response times • Explains the classification-tree method, test scenario selection approaches, black-box/white-box testing processes, and fault-injection and monitoring techniques
