A Distributed Real-Time Architecture For Advanced Vehicles. (Architecture Informatique Temps-Réel Pour Véhicules Avancés)

This thesis falls in the field of embedded real-time systems, and more precisely the in-vehicle embedded software for the evaluation of the next generation of driving assistance systems (ADAS). This document presents the three principal axes of the thesis: First, the development of a dynamic reconfigurable middleware called SCOOT-R. Second, the development of distributed real-time scheduling strategies in order to schedule SCOOT-R operations with the main goal of end-to-end QoS guarantee. Finally, the development of feedback-based scheduling schemes to schedule driving assistance systems. The adaptation in this scheme is carried out according to the current driving situation and the driver behavior, which will further lead to the change of the associated driving assistance function’s criticalness.
