Safety-critical automotive systems must ful ll hard real-time constraints for reliability and safety. This paper presents a case study for the application of an AUTOSARbased language for timing modeling and analysis. We present and apply the Timing Augmented Description Language (TADL) and demonstrate a methodology for the development of a speedadaptive steer-by-wire system. We examine the impact of TADL and the methodology on the development process and the suitability and interoperability of the applied tools with respect to the AUTOSAR-based tool chain in the context of our case study.
Abstract. Safety-critical automotive systems must fulfill hard real-time constraints to guarantee their reliability and safety requirements. In the context of network-based electronics systems, high-level timing requirements have to be carefully mastered and traced throughout the whole development process. In this paper, we outline the management of scheduling-specific timing information by the application of a steerby-wire design example. We apply the principles of the AUTOSARcompliant Timing Augmented Description Language (TADL) following the methodology introduced by the TIMMO project [2]. Focus of the example will be the identification of end-to-end timing constraints and their refinement by means of stimuli-response event chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
