An Orchestra of Bits and Bytes: Time-Triggered Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Wilfried Elmenreich

Multi-sensor object tracking is an important feature for advanced driver assistance systems in future automobiles. Most state-of-the-art systems cannot guarantee deterministic processing of the sensor values due to unsynchronized sensing and processing units. To overcome this shortcoming we propose a … Continue reading →

A Time-Triggered Fieldbus Protocol: TTP/A

Posted on September 10, 2010 by Wilfried Elmenreich

In a time-triggered protocol, the schedules for all messages are predefined and peridocal. So each node in an ensemble knows a priori when to send or when to expect to receive some message. For an overall communication cluster. Time-triggered systems … Continue reading →
