Rapid Prototyping of Vehicle Software Defined Functions

Abstract

A modern car is made up of a considerable amount of software running on many Electronic Control Units interconnected by communication infrastructure. Together it creates a rigid system, which is not easy to modify for running modified or custom code to implement new vehicle functions or gathering scientific data. The paper presents a modified (electric) vehicle architecture allowing rapid prototyping. The architecture enables control of particular vehicle functions by an independent computer, arbitrary vehicle data acquisition, and offers an interface for communication with the driver. Car-dependent and independent layers are used to provide an abstraction and hide details of a specific car model.
