Worst Case Execution Time estimation of software running on parallel platforms is a challenging task, due to resource interference of other tasks and the complexity of the underlying CPU and GPU hardware architectures. Similarly, the increased complexity of the hardware, challenges the estimation of worst case power consumption. In this paper, we employ Measurement Based Probabilistic Timing Analysis (MBPTA), which is capable of managing complex architectures such as multicores. We enable its use by software randomisation, which we show for the first time that is also possible on GPUs. We demonstrate our method on a pedestrian detection use case on an embedded multicore and GPU platform for the automotive domain, the NVIDIA Xavier. Moreover, we extend our measurement based probabilistic method in order to predict the worst case power consumption of the software on the same platform., This work was funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación - Agencia Estatal de Investigación (PID2019-107255GB- C21/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and IJC-2020-045931-I), the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme under the UP2DATE project (grant agreement 871465), an ERC grant (No. 772773) and the HiPEAC Network of Excellence, Peer Reviewed, Postprint (author's final draft)

In order to match the strict reliability requirements mandated by regulations and standards adopted in the automotive sector, as well as other domains where safety is a major concern, the in-field testing of the most critical devices, including microcontrollers and systems on chip, is a crucial task. Since the controller area network (CAN) bus is widely used in the automotive domain, the corresponding controller ubiquitously appears in all these devices. This paper presents a generic and systematic methodology to develop an effective in-field test procedure for CAN controllers based on a functional approach (i.e., on the adoption of self-test libraries). The method can be customized to match the requirements coming from different scenarios, and allows the test engineer to maximize the achieved fault coverage in terms of structural faults in the different cases. The experimental results we gathered on a representative CAN controller model show that, given two typical testing scenarios, we are able to detect (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) of stuck-at faults, respectively, hence demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach., Computer Engineering, Quantum & Computer Engineering

The broadening range of applications for vehicles has motivated the evolution of the automotive communication network. Ethernet has been deployed in production vehicles to build in-vehicle networks (IVN) by main manufacturers. To extent Ethernet with real-time service for future E/E architecture, a time-sensitive networking (TSN) profile for automotive Ethernet has been created. This paper evaluates the implementation of multiple traffic scheduling and shaping mechanisms in the automotive Ethernet, respectively. And we especially focus on two solutions, namely the time-aware shaping (TAS) and asynchronous traffic shaping (ATS). To investigate the performance, we introduce a TSN-based automotive gateway testing model in a simulation environment. Furthermore, another two methods, i.e., strict-priority and credit-based shaper (CBS), as well as TAS and ATS are implemented in the model and tested within a domain-based IVN scenario. The results show that TAS guarantees the shortest worst-case latency of high-priority streams, whereas it has a longer transmission latency for low-priority streams. ATS provides less determinism for high-priority streams than TAS, but ensures a better average latency of all streams.

The cohabitation of several radars, operating in the same frequency band, has become an essential and urgent topic as active safety systems for automotive applications are rolled out. An obvious concern is that mutual interference must be managed. Separating users in time, i.e. TDMA, achieves the required level of isolation in a straightforward way. CDMA techniques providing sufficient channel isolation are less obvious. The paper develops an alternative CDMA method, called Slow Chirp Modulation (SCM). SCM utilizes the full coherent integration time for transmission of a single aperiodic but ergodic signal, allowing target range and velocity to be retrieved but minimizing spectral occupancy. Spectral efficiency two orders of magnitude higher than for the discussed alternative methods is obtained, allowing more than a thousand non-interfering channels. Relying on indicated hardware schematics, the paper demonstrates the functionality of the novel signal processing algorithms, which are required for SCM. ©2020 IEEE

This paper proposes hardware architecture for a fuel estimation algorithm suitable for SoC FPGA. The architecture utilizes 32-point single precision floating point representation. A resource constraint scheduling algorithm is elaborated to synthesize an area efficient architecture. The floating point arithmetic is implemented using commercial IP. Synthesis results for the Virtex-6 FPGA family reveal that the proposed architecture consumes 1655 slices, has a latency of 71 ns and consumes 0.15 µJ. Additionally, the present work describes a software implementation of the fuel estimation algorithm using Zynq-7000 SoC., Part of ISBN 978-1-7281-0397-6QC 20200907

In automotive electronics, humidity-sensitive electronics are encapsulated by protective housings that are attached to the car body. Typical housing materials are comprised of polymer composites, through which moisture transport occurs. The objective of this paper is to provide a predictive capability for moisture transport through automotive housings enclosing a cavity with electronic modules. The temperature-dependent moisture properties including moisture diffusivity, solubility, and saturated concentration of three housing material candidates are characterized first. Then, the analogy between heat transfer and the mass transfer is implemented to model the moisture transport into the cavity enclosed by the housing materials. To cope with the transient boundary condition at the housing material and the cavity interface, the effective volume scheme is used, treating the cavity as an imaginary polymer with an extremely large diffusivity and “equivalent solubility.” The prediction is subsequently validated through an experimental setup designed to monitor the in-situ humidity condition inside the cavity sealed by the housing materials. The prediction and experimental results agree well with each other, which corroborates the validity of the FEA modeling and the measured moisture properties.

The purpose of the thesis was to study the safety and reliability requirements in the automotive industry from a production test perspective. A survey of the requirements in the automotive standard AEC-Q100 was conducted and the implications of compliance with the requirements were analyzed. In addition to this, production data was reanalyzed considering the requirements found in the survey. From this, conclusions regarding the necessity of new tests, new design requirements and potential yield reduction were drawn., Almost every new mobile phone entering the market have a built in fingerprint sensor which can be used for unlocking the phone. When the finger is placed on the fingerprint sensor a ‘picture’ of fingerprint is taken and if it sufficiently similar to a stored template the phone is unlocked. This simple authentication concept can be applied to almost an infinite number of use cases. Possible applications are replacing PIN codes on credit cards, unlocking doors and integrating fingerprint sensors into automobiles. There are many features in the car which can be improved by adding a biometric authentication system. Imagine for instance a car which automatically configures your seat and rear view mirrors to your personal settings and starts playing your favorite playlist when you unlock it. In addition to this your insurance company is notified that you are driving the car and the insurance rate is adjusted according to your driving experience, age and record of previous accidents. As you drive along and pass a high way road toll the payment is authorized by placing your finger on the sensor rather than queuing and paying with a credit card. Similarly, parking fees are accepted by placing the finger on the sensor. However, introducing new electronic components in the automotive industry is a long and cumbersome procedure since there are stringent safety and reliability requirements. All electronic designs has to be thoroughly tested before they are qualified for use in the automotive industry. For general purpose, non safety critical components the electronic circuit undergoes electrical and environmental testing and if all the tests are passed the design is said to be qualified for use in automotive applications. However, if the electronic component is to be used in a safety critical application, the entire development process has to be reviewed by an external auditor to make sure that sufficient considerations to possible consequences of a system failure has been taken

On this this document, the state of the art about engine management system inspection will be studied during design and prototyping phase. For this reason, a deep background on automotive sector is needed. Automotive history will be reviewed from the creation of first motorized car up to completely autonomous autopilot, created by Tesla. After that, future trends such as hardware and software modularization will be reviewed. Considering cars high complexity, it is important to have a clear method to coordinate and follow-up vehicle design, not only from OEM (original equipment manufacturer) point of view, but also for its suppliers and sub-suppliers. The most common tool to solve this challenge will be work breakdown structure. Main purpose of engine management system was to assure correct function of vehicle engine according driver inputs. As technology evolves and cars have more electronic components interconnected between them, electronic units have increased in quantity and in functions. In case of engine management system, currently is also taking care of safety related components, like throttle-by-wire, start-stop or tailpipe emissions control. In order to identify possible risks of damage and solutions during product manufacturing, process-by-process analysis will be done. Most dangerous risks are related with incorrect operation of machines, manual operations and mechanical damage to the components caused by hits, as electronic assemblies are very fragile. Basic circuits of the EMS are similar that all control units: power supply, inputs, outputs and communication. After analysing most relevant ones, it is possible to judge critical components to inspect. Available inspection methods will be divided into different categories in order to see possible solutions for each circuit inspection: visual check, either manual or automatic and electronic inspection.

This master thesis project was carried in collaboration with Keolis AB. One of the company’s goals is to seek for a possible replacement to expensive custom hardware units by cheap single board computers. As a test case, a simple application is proposed, which implements driver identification by scanning the barcode of driving license (personnummer). The main objective of this project is to find a suitable single board computer, to implement the proposed driver identification application, to send the driving license number along with the timestamp in a web page and test the functionality of the single board computer according to procedures specified in ISO and IEC standards for road vehicles. A parser that analyzes the input string of a barcode reader was implemented in C programming language. The barcode reader scans a barcode or a QR code and the parser returns the content of the barcode symbol in ASCII character format. The driver license number as well as the timestamp should be published to a web page. A webpage was created using the Django Web Framework, which is a database-driven website. Each time a driving license barcode is scanned, a POST Http request method is performed and both the driving license and timestamp are stored in a SQLite database. Each time a GET request method is performed the data stored in the SQLite database is retrieved and presented in the website. The communication between the single board computer Raspberry Pi and the Django framework is achieved using cURL, which is an open source command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax. The data of the website will be manipulated in the backend. Moreover, heat and humidity environmental testing were performed as described in ISO and IEC standards for road vehicles, to evaluate the functionality of the system under certain environmental conditions. These tests showed the working temperature range and the humidity range that the Raspberry Pi can tolerate. As a conclusion, Detta examensarbete genomfördes i samarbete med Keolis Sverige AB. Ett av företagets mål är att söka efter möjliga system som ersättning till dyra, specialanpassade hårdvaruenheter och istället övergå till billiga enkortsdatorer. Som ett testfall föreslås ett enkelt program, som genomför identifiering av föraren genom att skanna streckkoden på körkortet (personnummer). Huvudsyftet med projektet är att hitta en lämplig enkortsdator, att implementera den föreslagna föraridentifieringsapplikationen, skicka körkortsnumret/personnumret med tidsstämpel till en webbsida och testa funktionaliteten hos enkortsdator enligt testrutiner som beskrivs av ISO- och IEC-standarder för vägfordon. En parser som analyserar indatasträngen av en streckkodsläsare implementerades i programmeringsspråket C. Streckkodsläsaren skannar en streckkod eller en QR-kod och parsern returnerar innehållet i streckkoden på ASCIIteckenformat. Körkortsnumret samt tidsstämpel publiceras på en webbsida. En webbsida har skapats med Django Web Framework, som är en databasdriven webbplats. Varje gång körkortets streckkod skannas, skickas en POST http-begäransmetod som utförs varvid både körkort och tidsstämpel lagras i en SQLite databas. Varje gång en GET-begäran skickas, lagras data i SQLite databasen och presenteras på webbplatsen. Kommunikationen mellan enkortsdatorn Raspberry Pi och ett Django-ramverk uppnås med hjälp av cURL, som är ett kommandoradsverktyg med öppen källkod, och ett bibliotek för att överföra data med URL-syntax. Uppgifterna på webbplatsen manipuleras i backend. Miljötålighetsprovning med avseende på värme- och fuktighet har utförts för att utvärdera systemets funktionalitet under specifika miljöförhållanden. Testerna specificeras i ISO- och IEC-standarder för vägfordon. Dessa tester visade vilka arbetstemperaturer och vilken luftfuktighet som Raspberry Pi klarar. Det kan konstateras att Raspberry Pi kan användas i passagerarutrymmet, där temperaturen förväntas ligga under 100 Celsius, m

The boom in the number of active safety functions and driver assistance systems during the last several years has made vehicle design more and more difficult. To support the early development process, particularly the design of electronic and electric architectures, the capability to simulate and compute complete vehicle behavior is critically important and useful. This paper presents such a simulator, which consists of key components such as the drivetrain and controller subsystems. Then, after having presented the generic structure of a driver assistance system, concrete use cases of this simulator are given, which assess vehicle performance according to different functional and hardware architectures.

In der Arbeit wurde eine Belastungsanalyse und Zuverlässigkeitsbetrachtung einer bleifrei gelöteten Ball-Grid-Array-Bauform durchgeführt. Um die Belastungen während des gesamten Lebenszyklus der BGA-Bauform zu erfassen wurden moderne Prüftechniken, wie z.B. piezoresistive Testchips, entwickelt. Es wurde auch der Einfluss der AVT-Herstellungsprozesse, der Eigenschaften der Gehäusematerialien und der Umgebungsbedingungen auf das Bauelement berücksichtigt und in einer umfassenden Belastungshistorie dargestellt. In der Zuverlässigkeitsbetrachtung der BGA-Bauform wurden durch Temperaturwechselbelastungen hervorgerufene Schädigungsmechanismen bewertet. Die niederzyklische Lotermüdung stellte die dominante Schädigung in den 345 bleifreien Lotverbindungen dar und wurde für verschiedene Lotpastenzusammensetzungen und Bauteilanschlusspassivierungen untersucht. Den ermittelten Anrisszyklenzahlen, Rissfortschrittsraten und den berechneten mittleren Lebensdauern der Lotverbindungen wurden Werte von Schädigungsparametern aus der Simulation, wie z.B. der viskoplastischen Vergleichsdehnschwingbreite, zugeordnet. Die Ermüdungsparameter der relevanten Legierungszusammensetzungen wurden durch Anpassung mit Modellen nach Coffin-Manson bzw. nach Paris-Erdogan ermittelt. Die Lebensdauermodelle beschreiben die Langzeitzuverlässigkeit der bleifreien Lote. Anhand der Modelle wurde der sichere Einsatz der untersuchten Bauform in einer bleifrei aufgebauten Kfz-Elektronik prognostiziert., In the present work, a comprehensive stress and reliability analysis of a lead-free soldered Ball-Grid-Array package has been conducted. The first objective of this thesis describes the development, application and verification of modern test methods for the stress analysis of the BGA package throughout its entire life-cycle. The influence of the assembly and packaging processes, the properties of the assembly materials and the environmental conditions on the package were investigated. In the second part of this thesis, a comprehensive reliability analysis of the BGA package under thermal cycling has been conducted. The dominating failure mode was crack initiation and propagation in the solder. Other failure modes than low-cycle-fatigue of the solder were not relevant to the package reliability under field conditions, since they occurred only at a low frequency and only in highly stressed packages. The numbers of cycles to crack initiation, the crack growth rates and the derived mean fatigue lives were assigned to damage parameters from the simulation, such as the effective von-Mises creep strain range. The parameters of damage laws based on Coffin- Manson and Paris-Erdogan were derived for all relevant solder joint configurations. In summary, a reliability prognosis of the lead-free soldered BGA package under automotive environmental conditions was performed. The lead-free BGA package covers the advised life cycle of 15 years given by the automotive industry.

In today's automotive vehicles, electromagnetic interference (EMI) from electronic circuits has become a serious concern. The discussion in this paper proves that a clock signal generated by a resonant clock distribution network exhibits better EMI performance compared to that of a conventional buffer-driven clock network. This discussion is supported by analyzing different clock spectrums and using a simple model of simultaneous switching noise (SSN). According to simulation results presented in a 90-nm CMOS process, using a sinusoidal clock instead of a trapezoidal one, the magnitude of the first tone in the spectrum of SSN is reduced at least by 6.7 dB.

FlexRay will very likely become the de-facto standard for in-vehicle communications. Its main advantage is the combination of high speed static and dynamic transmission of messages. In our previous work we have shown that not only the static but also the dynamic segment can be used for hard-real time communication in a deterministic manner. In this paper, we propose techniques for optimising the FlexRay bus access mechanism of a distributed system, so that the hard real-time deadlines are met for all the tasks and messages in the system. We have evaluated the proposed techniques using extensive experiments.

This bachelor's thesis has its main focus on the design and construction of hardware and software for the 2006 LTU Formula Student racing car. However, it also deals with the subject of microcontroller and electronics implementation in automobiles as well as a description of the Formula Student event, at which the electronics will are used. During a short project course in the late fall / early winter of 2005, the author came in contact with computer aided design of electronics and programming of microcontrollers. Design of the hardware for the steeringwheel was also begun. This led to the fact that a bachelors thesis project focusing on the software and hardware for the steering wheel and the software for the gear shifting and clutch control ECU as well as the implementation of these systems in the racing car, would make a natural follow-up. The hardware in the steering wheel consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with various components mounted, the main one being the Atmel AVR AT90CAN128 microcontroller. This microcontroller is an excellent choice for use in autmotive systems because it offers a wide variety of functions, among these a CAN controller and it is affordable and it is easy to use. The hardware for the gear shifting and clutch control unit was made by two members of the previous year's Formula Student team, as an upgrade for this year's car. The main change for this year was the fitting of both clutch control and gear shifting on the same PCB, using one microcontroller to control both systems. The CAN128 is used here as well, which gave the author a good platform for software development. The actuators controlled by this card is an electrical motor for the clutch and a solenoid for the gear shifting., Validerat; 20101217 (root)

Embedded computer systems are now everywhere: from alarm clocks to PDAs, from mobile phones to cars, almost all the devices we use are controlled by embedded computers. An important class of embedded computer systems is that of hard real-time systems, which have to fulfill strict timing requirements. As real-time systems become more complex, they are often implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures. Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems addresses the design of real-time applications implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures. The systems are heterogeneous not only in terms of hardware components, but also in terms of communication protocols and scheduling policies. Regarding this last aspect, time-driven and event-driven systems, as well as a combination of the two, are considered. Such systems are used in many application areas like automotive electronics, real-time multimedia, avionics, medical equipment, and factory systems. The proposed analysis and synthesis techniques derive optimized implementations that fulfill the imposed design constraints. An important part of the implementation processis the synthesis of the communication infrastructure, which has a significant impact on the overall system performance and cost. Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems considers the mapping and scheduling tasks within an incremental design process. To reduce the time-to-market of products, the design of real-time systems seldom starts from scratch. Typically, designers start from an already existing system, running certain applications, and the design problem is to implement new functionality on top of this system. Supporting such an incremental design process provides a high degree of flexibility, and can result in important reductions of design costs. Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researche

Future military and commercial vehicular electrical system architecture proposals are presented in this paper. These are necessary to meet the growing demands of electrical loads, such as electrification of traditional mechanical loads, in-vehicle computer and multimedia systems, among others. In this paper, future electrical system architecture proposals using 42-volt dc and 120/230 volt 60 Hz ac are discussed. In many instances military can afford to develop technologies earlier than the commercial sector. Later these developments can lead to commercial applications. In addition, cost and technical issues are examined for these high voltage systems. These issues arise due to new requirements of load, battery, ignition systems, fuses, connectors, and wiring harnesses., Prepared in cooperation with Think Technologies, Dearborn, MI.
