Deploying Health Monitoring ECU Towards Enhancing the Performance of In-Vehicle Network
Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are the fundamental electronic building
blocks of any automotive system. They are multi-purpose, multi-chip and
multicore computer systems where more functionality is delivered in software
rather than hardware. ECUs are valuable assets for the vehicles as critical
time bounded messages are communicated through. Looking into the safety
criticality, already developed mission critical systems such as ABS, ESP etc,
rely fully on electronic components leading to increasing requirements of more
reliable and dependable electronic systems in vehicles. Hence it is inevitable
to maintain and monitor the health of an ECU which will enable the ECUs to be
followed, assessed and improved throughout their life-cycle starting from their
inception into the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a Health monitoring ECU
that enables the early trouble shooting and servicing of the vehicle prior to
any catastrophic failure.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, FCST 201
