“…Hence, innovative reasoning tends to migrate CAN from the bus to a star topology. Gessner et al [58] utilised a pair of coupled hubs to obtain a star structure. Compared to the conventional topology, a quantitative evaluation of profits entailed by the star disposition was conducted by virtue of a stochastic model in [59].…”

“…Alternatively, component duplication can also be adopted to guarantee an appropriate network behaviour. Gessner et al [58] equipped all the CAN nodes with a couple of controllers to overcome the Byzantine failures for CAN redundant nodes. A comparator circuit was charged to trigger alerts once a difference was detected in controller outputs.…”

The in‐vehicular networked control system is among the most critical embedded processes. The controller area network (CAN) has prevailed intra‐vehicle communication for decades. Meanwhile, requirements of future transportation systems are expected to emphasise the in‐vehicle communication complexity, which endangers the reliability/safety of the intelligent navigation. At first, this study reviews the recent solutions proposed to overcome the CAN expanding complexity. Challenges that tomorrow's intelligent vehicles may raise for CAN reliability are investigated. The comprehensive coverage of current research efforts to remove the impact of these challenges is presented. Further, the in‐vehicle system reliability of future automated vehicles is also related to the fault diagnosis performances. Hence, different classes of system‐level diagnosis strategies are compared relatively to the requirements of automotive embedded networks. Furthermore, to thoroughly cover CAN reliability engineering issues, focus is given to the automotive validation techniques. The hardware in the loop, real‐time analysis and computer‐aided‐design tools intervene in various phases along the in‐vehicular network life cycle. Parameters that stand behind the efficiency and accuracy of these techniques in validating the new generation of vehicles are analysed. The authors finally draw some deductive predictions about the future directions related to the reliability of the intelligent transportation system in‐vehicular communication.

“…Redundant solutions are widely used in real-time industrial computer systems to increase the reliability of their control and safety functions. The approaches to redundancy in industrial communication area include, amongst others, industrial network media redundancy (Felser, 2008; Gessner et al, 2013), Time- and Event-Triggered traffic methods, or master replication and fail-silence enforcement (Ferreira et al, 2006).…”

Classical control applications with a centralized logic and distributed input/output system are being replaced by dynamic environments of cooperating components. Thus, the OPC (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) UA (Unified Architecture) is becoming more popular, because the OPC Data Access substandard is not well suited for distributed systems. Moreover, in many production systems, redundant data servers are preferred, for financial and legal reasons. Providing performance evaluation gives an estimate of the time required (and data samples lost) to switch to a backup data source for redundant OPC UA architecture, depending on the failure detection method, number of variables and redundancy mode.

“…As automotive ASICs replace the mechanical devices in vehicles, the proportion of electronic devices in modern vehicles continues to grow. Recently, more ASICs are embedded in automotive systems to meet customer demand for comfort, safety, enhanced fuel efficiency, and even driving support [1], [2]. Thus, both functional integrity and reliable operation are necessary for automotive electronic devices.…”

CAN-Based Aging Monitoring Technique for Automotive ASICs With Efficient Soft Error Resilience

et al. 2020

The modern automobile industry is rapidly shifting toward the era of self-driving cars. Due to rapid technological development, many mechanical parts in automobiles have been switched to electronic devices. Therefore, the proportion of electronic devices in modern cars is increasing. Even though many parts have been replaced by electronic devices, vehicles still require the periodic maintenance not only for mechanical parts, but also for automotive electronics. To guarantee the high reliability of automotive Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), automotive chips are tested during manufacturing for functional and structural defects. Moreover, automobile chips are also tested using several in-field diagnostic techniques (e.g., online Built-In Self-Test (BIST), Software-Based Self-Test (SBST)) while the chips are operating. By using these in-field diagnostic techniques, functional and structural defects in automotive ASICs, which occur in the early-life cycle and normal operation, can be detected. However, automotive semiconductor devices still require testing for aging-induced defects and soft errors to prevent critical functional failures. Moreover, aging-induced defects are hard to detect with conventional in-field diagnostic techniques which is based on BIST techniques. Thus, this work presents a secure Controller Area Network (CAN)-based Test Access Mechanism (TAM) for aging defect diagnosis with efficient soft-error resilient scan cell design for automotive ASICs. The proposed TAM incurs area overhead of 6% to 9% depending upon the selection of mode identification. Further, the proposed Aging monitoring and Soft Error Resilience Flip Flop (ARFF) incurs 22% less area and power as compared to separate implementation of the Built-In Soft Error Resilience (BISER) and the Early Capture Flip Flop (ECFF).
