    Challenges of a safe adaptation architecture for vehicles
    ( 2014)
    Weiß, Gereon
    The promising advent of fully electric vehicles and automated driving also means a shift towards fully electrical control of the existing and new vehicle functions. In particular, critical X-by-wire functions require sophisticated redundancy solutions. As a result, the overall Electric/Electronic (E/E) architecture of a vehicle is becoming even more complex and costly. The talk introduces the challenges of future vehicle software architectures. In the course of the SafeAdapt project novel architecture concepts are developed which base on adaptation to address the needs of a new E/E architecture for FEVs regarding safety, reliability and cost-efficiency. This will reduce the complexity of the system and the interactions by generic, system-wide fault and adaptation handling. It also enables extended reliability despite failures, improvements of active safety, and optimized resources.

    Current vehicles are usually equipped with an abundance of advanced driver assistant systems. Only a limited number of them can really be active permanently. This motivates our goal of providing the car with the means necessary to dynamically adapt the set of active functions to its current requirements. In this paper, we present a generic context modeling approach suitable for dynamic configuration of automotive functions. The demonstration of the feasibility of the proposed solution and evaluation of its effectiveness was based on a simulated prototypical system configuration. The simulations yielded to a significant reduction in average function activity of an exemplary car system. Depending on the provided context parameters, a reduction of up to 24% was achieved.
