The Modularisation Design Approach Applied to the ADAS Domain: The DESERVE Project Experience

The paper focuses on the innovative strength that the DESERVE platform has brought on the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) market in terms of major safety and economic affordability. DESERVE is a project aimed at designing and implementing a low-cost, integrated platform for ADAS: the creation of innovative software and hardware modules to be integrated in ADAS applications will pave the way to a standardization of the single components in order to achieve a full integration of diversified models despite their complexity. The achievement of such objective will end up in an increase of the reliability level of the system and in a cost reduction for ADAS functions and for development costs as well. In this paper the results of the application of the modularisation philosophy to the DESERVE platform architecture and to the human machine interface (HMI) concepts will be presented
