Configurable Vehicle Networks

In the recent days, an automotive vehicle uses many Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to perform various time-critical functions. These ECUs are interconnected through multiplex vehicle networks. These networks typically use CAN (Controller Area Network) as a main backbone network and LIN as sub-networks connected through Gateways.

This paper is aimed to cover the following topics:

• Evolution of Vehicle Networking
• Standards followed for vehicle networking
• Typical issues that OEM faces during vehicle integration
• Development of Configurable Network Components to overcome the above issues.
