Elastic Gateway Functional Safety Architecture and Deployment: A Case Study

The automotive industry has started its transformation towards Software-Defined Vehicles. This is driven by the rise of number vehicle features, high complexity these features and their constraining availability requirements which affect all players (Original Equipment Manufacturers, Tier1 Tier2) sector. In context this transformation, our target, from functional safety point view, to, inter alia, provide an easy-to-use safety-compliant execution development flow simplify argumentation for providing a) a pre-certified environment with design patterns best-in-class measures b) processes tooling to minimize system integrator’s effort. Therefore, in work we propose top-down approach where first define New Generation In-Vehicle Network, NGIVN, capable fulfilling performance (e.g. bandwidth, low end-2-end delay), safety-related Autonomous Driving / Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (AD/ADAS) up SAE level 5) modern vehicles. Also, illustrate advantages deriving attributes Automotive Gateway SoC, named Elastic destined be part NGIVN. Through deployment concept demonstrate flexibility provided regards elements
