Learning outcomes
The aim of the module is to provide the students with the fundamental knowledge to recognize and to utilize the main on board networks and protocols interacting with the driveline and the foundamental techniques for vehicle to internet interconnection. Students learn the principle of operation and use vehicular networking and protocols: 1) CAN vehicular network (characteristic, application, implementation); 2) UDS - Universal Diagnostic Service characteristic and implementation; 3) XCP – Universal calibration protocol. Students understand the basic features and application of the Vehicle to infrastructure networking: 1) Vehicle to Internet communication services (TCP/IP, etc…): 2) Data compression and data transmission. 3) DoIP: Diagnosis and service over the internet. 4) Edge and cloud computing for predictive maintenance. 5) Electric vehicle Fleet management. 6) Remote Battery Management System. Improvement of battery safety control and second life battery use.
Course contents
The course covers fundamental and advanced principles of in-car and off-car vehicular networks, RTOS and middleware for data distribution, main security aspects related to vehicle communication and data management in vehicle communication scenarios.
Topics include:
- introduction to networking and protocols
- in-car networking (protocols, ECU, software layers and RTOSes)
- off-car communication (v2x protocols)
- RTOSes and middleware for cyber-physical systems and real-time systems
- safety and security aspects
