BASEMENT a distributed real-time architecture for vehicle applications

Abstract

BASEMENT is a distributed real-time architecture for vehicle internal use in the automotive industry. The BASEMENT concept is holistic in the same sense that it covers application development as well as the hardware and software that provide execution and communication support. A real-time kernel supporting BASEMENT has been developed together using two design tools; a system simulator and an off-line scheduler. Finally, the BASEMENT system developed is illustrated by presenting an Intelligent Cruise Control application.
