Cover Story I Embedded Systems 1 SDV

Middleware as core solution from automated driving to modern, digitised, software-defined defence systems

With the increasing centralisation of vehicle architectures and the expansion of autonomous functions, the demands on communication and execution software are rising significantly. Highly automated vehicle systems in particular, but also distributed mission-critical defence systems, require deterministic execution, extremely high data rates, functional safety and seamless interoperability across domain and system boundaries. Apex.OS addresses these requirements with a consistent architecture from pre-development to series production. The combination of zero-copy communication, an explicit execution model, clear separation of criticality levels, semantic interface integration and modular external connectivity forms a robust foundation for future, highly integrated systems, both in vehicles and in cross-domain mission-critical architectures.
Cover Story I Embedded Systems 1 SDV

ldentifying current trends for V2X in vehicles

Ad hoc communication between vehicles and infrastructure such as traffic lights can take place via a direct connection or via the mobile network. From C-ITS to UWB or even 5/6G, there are numerous communication options for V2X, and activities related to standardisation and compatibility are also important. And in the end, everything comes down to one thing: the fast, precise and secure implementation of communication nodes in the vehicle in order to bring the applications to the road.
Development I Software-Defined Vehicle

Building vehicles before they exist

The software-defined vehicle is setting new rules in vehicle construction. What used to be a hardware-oriented industry must now function like a software company: agile, iterative and cloud-native. For OEMs, this means rethinking everything from architecture and processes to culture. According to Here Technologiesand AWS, those who want to keep pace must rely on virtualised software development environments that break down silos and accelerate innovation. This is to be made possible by, among other things, the SDV Accelerator, a cloud-based virtual software development environment designed to simplify and accelerate the development of connected services, immersive driving experiences and automated driving functions.
Measurement I Testing

Al-supported test automation for embedded electronic systems in the automotive sector

The increasing complexity of distributed electronic systems in the automotive sector requires new approaches to quality assurance. The validation of technical requirements in particular represents a key challenge. The use of artificial intelligence (Al) in test automation opens up new potential -especially in the automated generation of test cases from textual requirements. The article analyses the current state of Al-based test processes for embedded electronic (EE) systems and evaluates existing approaches in terms of maturity, applicability and limitations. The focus is on the concept of Modular Agent Based Testing (mABT), a multi-agent architecture for the systematic automation of test processes. mABT defines decision criteria for the agentisation of individual process steps such as requirements analysis, test design and test evaluation. Specialised agents – supported by Al or tools – take on specific tasks within the test process.
Automated Driving

Redundant power supply for safe, highly automated driving

Highly automated driving according to SAE Levels 3 and 4 is considered key to future vehicle concepts. Established OEMs are faced with the challenge of integrating redundancy and zone concepts into a broad, existing platform landscape and therefore often resort to additive redundancy networks, which are increasingly reaching their architectural limits. Driver assistance systems up to SAE Level 2+ (L2+) are widely used in today’s privately used production vehicles and have already become standard in many segments. Higher levels of automation have so far been tested primarily in the context of robotaxi and fleet applications, but are increasingly finding their way into conventional vehicle platforms. Initial series offerings for Level 3 (L3) driving functions have been introduced by individual manufacturers, but a large-scale rollout of L3 and L4 has not yet taken place; The expansion of L2+ functions continues to dominate across the board.
In Focus

Sustainable vehicle interiors from 3D to recycling to vegan

The use of sustainable materials in vehicle interiors is anything but trivial for the automotive industry. Although there are innovative approaches, the requirements for safety, durability and cost-effectiveness make their widespread implementation difficult. Nevertheless, these approaches are worth highlighting, especially as they are already gaining practical relevance in some cases. The focus is on innovative manufacturing processes and the consistent use of environmentally friendly materials. For example, natural fibres – both visible as design elements and concealed in composite materials – are used as high-quality surfaces in the interior. This is complemented by the use of recycled plastics, which conserve resources and promote the circular economy.
