Safety and Reliability of Distributed Embedded Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Project summary This technical report is one of a series (listed in full below). Together these reports describe a complete hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation that reproduces the behaviour of a passenger car travelling down a motorway. In the simulation, the speed and position of the car are determined by an adaptive cruise control system implemented using one or more embedded microcontrollers. The test bed is intended to be used to assess and compare different software architectures for use in distributed embedded systems, particularly those for which high reliability is a key design consideration.

Investigating and Improving the Effect of Distributed Generation on Reliability in Wind Systems by ARMA Method
The increasing development of the use of new energies has led to the widespread use of power electronics, so that electronic power converters play an important role in extracting power from renewable sources. Power electronics can convert raw energy produced from new energy into the desired power with controlled current, voltage and frequency to be used in the power grid. Restructuring of power...
متن کاملDistributed Computing for Functional Safety of Automotive Embedded Systems
The architectures of modern automobiles are heterogeneous distributed integrated architectures that integrate multiple heterogeneous processing units and network buses with a central gateway. Modern automotive embedded systems combine the related characteristics of real-time, cyber-physical, mixed-criticality, and heterogeneous distributed systems; moreover, such systems must meet specific func...
متن کاملSafety-Reliability of Distributed Embedded System Fault Tolerant Units
In this paper we compare the relative performance of two fault tolerant mechanisms dealing with repairable and non-repairable components that have failed. The relative improvement in the reliability and safety of a system with repairable components is calculated with respect to the corresponding system where the components are not repairable. The fault tolerant systems under study correspond to...

The AGV (automated guided vehicle) was introduced in UK in 1953 for transporting. But nowadays, due to their high efficiency, flexibility, reliability, safety and system scalability, they are used in various application in industries. In brief, the AGV robot is a system which typically made up of vehicle chassis, embedded controller, motors, drivers, navigation and collision avoidance sensors, ...
