Methodology, Architecture and Development Flow of Automotive Embedded Systems

Abstract:

The development of the automotive embedded system has been more and more complex. This paper reviews the history of the automotive embedded system, and its principles and future characteristics are also introduced and analyzed. It concludes that to develop a high efficient and reliable automotive embedded system relies on an accurate developing method, a systematic architecture and a reasonable process. A detailed introduction to this methodology including the Model Based Development (MBD), the AUTOSAR architecture and the V mode development process is also given. The MBD defines the description of the object, the AUTOSAR architecture describes the structure of the object, and V mode process guides the sequence of the development steps. With the methodology, the reliability and integrity of the automotive embedded system development could be guaranteed.
