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...
