This paper presents the results of the ASAI (Automotive SPICE Assessors and Improvers) working group. The aim of the ASAI is to address open issues in the real application of the standard Automotive SPICE in the automotive industry. The outcomes of the ASAI activities are a set of guidelines on how some relevant open issues (expressed by means of questions) can be addressed and solved. These gu...

The diagnostic system discussed in this paper provides an agent-based approach to advanced on-board diagnostics of operation and communication failures occurring in an electronic automotive system. To facilitate development and testing of agent-based automotive diagnostics, a software simulator of automotive electronics systems, also based on multi-agent technology, has been implemented, allowi...

Automotive radar sensors will be used in many future applications to increase comfort and safety. Compared to classical radar applications like air surveillance, the automotive radar observation area is rather small, but will contain numerous different targets. Due to the close distance of these objects the target resolution procedures become very important. This paper gives an overview about a...

The automotive industry is characterized by the early adoption of technology into their products. In recent years, the automotive industry has developed infotainment systems that encompass navigation, digital media, phone calls, safety and other elements. These infotainment systems are based on componentry similar to smartphones or tablet computers. In contrast to tablet computers, the automoti...

Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...

the present paper explores the barriers to the supply chain of the lightweight construction in the automotive industry in zahedan. the aim of the study is to identify the barriers and the key performance of the automotive supply chain to help develop the production so as to achieve, in this way, higher quality products in less time and high customer satisfaction. to this end, the factors affect...

[Context and motivation] For an automatic consistency check on requirements the requirements have to be formalized first. However, logical formalisms are seldom accessible to stakeholders in the automotive context. Konrad and Cheng proposed a restricted English grammar that can be automatically translated to logics, but looks like natural language. [Question/problem] In this paper we investigat...

The current automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) systems are characterized by proprietary solutions, which seldom allow the exchange of applications between both automotive OEMs and their suppliers. It is especially difficult to change ECU suppliers or reuse the software in a new generation of products. Increasing functional requirements in automotive E/E vehicle development will significantl...

The use of networks for communications between the Electronic Control Units (ECU) of a vehicle in production cars dates from the beginning of the 90s. The speci c requirements of the di erent car domains have led to the development of a large number of automotive networks such as LIN, CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, MOST, automotive Ethernet AVB, etc.. This report rst introduces the context of in-vehicle...
