An embedded system is the dedicated system designed for certain specific functions. This system is embedded as a part of complete device system that includes hardware such as mechanical and electrical components. Embedded systems seek various applications in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, medical electronics, safety and storage control. A Single Chip Embed...

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...

The real-time and multitasking operating system OSEK is the standard in automotive embedded developments today. Its most important properties include low consumption of processor resources and memory, and event-driven task management that effectively handles both cyclic and non-cyclic program blocks. Continuing advances in automotive electronics and the new HIS and AUTOSAR standardization initi...

This paper discusses the effect of the field stress variance on the value of demonstrated reliability in the automotive testing. In many cases the acceleration factor for a reliability demonstration test is calculated based on a high percentile automotive stress level, typically corresponding to severe user or environmental conditions. In those cases the actual field (‘true’) reliability for th...

Automotive Control Systems are an application area of Automatic Control Science with increasing importance. A generation ago, vehicles were mainly designed by mechanical engineers. Today, about 1/3 of a vehicle’s added value is electronics. Customer-relevant vehicle functions are more and more determined by information and automation technology. The basic ideas of system dynamics, feed-back, an...
