[Webinar] How is SOME/IP Shaping the Future of In-Vehicle Network Architecture?

[Webinar] How is SOME/IP Shaping the Future of In-Vehicle Network Architecture?

How will the future of on-board networks look like? What will be the role of SOME/IP in enabling modern automotive applications? In the first part of our SOME/IP webinar series, we answer these questions!

The upcoming trends in the automotive industry are all about highly-automated driving, V2X technology, and Electric Vehicles. These solutions require higher computational power, faster bandwidth, back-end connectivity, advanced software features and regular software updates.

Existing ECU communication protocols like CAN, LIN, FlexRay, etc. are not fast or efficient enough to ensure smooth functioning of such applications. Moreover, one of the pre-requisites of these applications is the implementation of service-oriented architecture, which again is beyond CAN or LIN.

SOME/IP has been designed to overcome such issues. In this webinar, we will focus on SOME/IP and its role in the future of on-board networks.

SOME/IP stands for Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP and was developed by the BMW group in the year 2011. The name makes it clear that it is a middleware solution that enables service-oriented communication between the Electronic Control Units.

What’s in store for you in this SOME/IP webinar?

  1. A brief overview of Upcoming trends in the automotive industry
  2. Understanding the Current, Upcoming and Future onboard networks in brief
  3. Migrating to future onboard network architecture, and role of SOME/IP in this transition
  4. Basics of SOME/IP
  5. Frequently asked questions about SOME/IP

Why is ASIL determination indispensable for an ISO 26262 Project?

Why is ASIL determination indispensable for an ISO 26262 Project?

Webinar Express: Short Duration, High Value Webinars

Automotive Safety & Integrity Level (ASIL) is the key reference point that guides an ISO 26262 compliant project. The ASIL value determines the testing methods to be used, tools to be deployed, software development approaches and almost every activity related to the project.

However, at times, ASIL is not given its due importance and is assumed based on various factors. In this webinar, our functional safety expert, Poornima Jha will discuss the implications of assuming ASIL. She will also throw light on scenarios where assuming ASIL is accepted.

ASIL assumption may derail your automotive project in more ways than one. There is a whole lot of rework waiting to happen once you skip the concept phase of ISO 26262 safety lifecycle.

This webinar is an attempt to unravel the perils of assuming ASIL instead of determining it by performing all the activity listed in concept phase.

Key Takeaways from the ISO 26262 Requirement Mapping Webinar

  1. The Three Pillars of ASIL
  2. Assumption of ASIL- Is it acceptable?
  3. Issues arising from assumption of ASIL and Safety Goals
  4. Best Practice for ASIL determination

“The webinar takes up one of the most fundamental aspects of ISO 26262 compliant software development- ASIL Determination”

We heartily welcome you to tune into this recorded session of the ISO 26262 webinar. This session aims to prove a value-add for your Automotive Functional Safety (FuSa) journey.

Webinar: How to Evaluate Hardware Architecture Metrics for Automotive ECUs (Using FMEDA Method)

[Webinar] What Is Regenerative Braking and How Is It Achieved in an Electric Vehicle?

Is it possible to generate energy while stopping an electric vehicle? Apparently, it is!

Commonly referred to as Regenerative Braking, this is a feature every Electric Vehicle must be equipped with.

This webinar introduces the viewer to this very concept and throws light on the ways in which regenerative braking can be achieved in a BLDC motor control system.

Range is one of the unsettling concerns of every EV manufacturer today. In order to make an Electric Vehicle a reliable replacement to an IC engine vehicle, it must be capable of travelling a decent distance before the battery completely depletes.

Regenerative Braking helps to regain the kinetic energy lost during the braking process and store it in the battery. Once an EV motor controller is equipped with this functionality, a considerable increase in the range of the vehicle can be achieved.

Simply put, Regenerative Braking is nothing but reversing the current from motor to the battery. However, achieving this feat requires certain intervention usually brought about by a software component.

What to expect from this Regenerative Braking Webinar?

Regenerative braking is not a concept exclusive to electric vehicles. However, its application in the motor controllers for EVs is one of its most important use-cases. In this webinar, we showcase regenerative braking with respect to the EVs. From its introduction as a concept to its development as a software feature, our webinar spans the complete arch of regenerative braking.

Tutorial Lesson Plan:

  1. A Brief Introduction of Electric Vehicles
  2. What is Regenerative Braking in the context of EVs?
  3. How is Regenerative Braking Achieved in a BLDC motor controller?
  4. How can Embitel help in development regenerative braking equipped motor control systems for EV?

IoT for Home Automation – Custom Gateway, Cloud and Mobile App

Description

Design and development of IoT Home Automation architecture with following components:

  • Sensor networks – installed to capture data from lights, AC, blinds, AV units, doors, and more
  • Custom IoT gateway device – to connect sensor networks to cloud backend
  • Cloud backend – for data analytics
  • iOS/Android App and web-dashboard – UI and front-end to facilitate human and machine interactions

The system demonstrates:

  • Home automation scenario which comprises sensor networks [lights, AC, blinds, AV units] that interact with mobile app [iOS, Android] or web dashboard via the custom IoT gateways and the cloud, using MQTT.
  • The sensor networks convey a wide range of home device information (temperature, humidity, ambient light, human proximity) that is transmitted over various wireless communication protocols like Infrared, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, EnOcean, Zigbee.
  • This information is broadcast to the cloud for data analytics and data in actionable format is displayed on smart handheld devices for the end-users.

This is how the system works:

  • The custom gateways act as a mediator between the sensor networks and the cloud, providing connectivity, security and control.
  • The cloud backend, built using Python and Django, runs applications that analyze data from the sensor networks to collate and relay valuable information that can be used for decision-making.
  • The interface that gives the end users control of the system is accessible through the app on smart devices [Android, iOS] or web dash-board. The UI provides one-touch control of single or group-actions.

System Architecture – An Overview

IoT-system-architecture

Tools and Technology:

  • Sensor networks designed based on ZigBee, EnOcean, Bluetooth and Wifi protocols/technologies
  • Custom gateway hardware and software design to enable compatibility between sensor networks and end-user devices
  • Design, development and integration of cloud-based SaaS. Data analytics that make predictions possible
  • iOS/Android App and a web dashboard that delivers ‘delight’ to end-users through our intuitive UI/UX

Features (snapshot):

  • The system includes multi-action settings for automation of more than one device for an event
    Sensors that support automation [door sensor, proximity sensors, beacons, etc.] are used to trigger multiple actions. For example, when the proximity sensor detects that you have crossed the range/perimeter, the AC and lights will be switched off, and the blinds will be opened.
