Advanced E/E Architecture for the Software Defined Vehicle

FIND OUT HOW BY HOW MUCH ASG CAN CUT YOUR BOM COSTS PER VEHICLE

PURPOSE

To Control the Vehicle as a Single Entity in Real-Time

ASG - the Automotive Smart Grid is a custom system designed and developed to implement the complex, automated and interactive control of a group of territorially dispersed electromechanical nodes joined by a single energy network. It consists of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and proprietary ECU hardware embedded with the ASG communication protocol.

OUR PRODUCT

A Real-Time Vehicle Control System

OPTIMISED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

85%

More Electric Vehicle Range

98%

Communication Efficiency

ASG manages the energy flows of the vehicle which increases the efficiency of the entire power system thanks to the high communication efficiency of the ASG protocol. Efficient communication means more energy can be allocated to motion leading to an increase in range., a critical factor for the transition to Electric Vehicles (EV's).

MATERIAL EFFICIENT

10 x

Reduction in Copper Wiring

5.7 x

Reduction in ECU's

ASG significantly contributes to material saving by getting rid of the copper harness and decreasing the wiring necessary for the full E/E architecture, using 200-300m instead of 2km-3,5km per vehicle. Distributed zonal control and universality of the control units mean lowering ECU count and cost, cutting material and labour expenses for OEM's.

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE

1 ms

Reaction Time

2.7 Mbps

Transfer Rate

All ASG modules have a Single Quant Computation of 1ms forming unified intelligence in a distributed network. Each block has an internal reaction time of 10 microseconds. For rapid decision-making, ASG conducts synchronous and parallel data processing making it a fully 'Hard' Real-Time system. This decreases the margin of error by orders of magnitude for autonomous vehicles.

WHY ASG

A Different Approach, Saving $3000-7000 per Vehicle

Thanks to the efficiency of the E/E architecture of ASG, the system requires 90% less copper wiring, almost 6 times less ECU's resulting in a substantial cost saving for vehicle manufacturers and consumers in turn.

ASG Protocol

The ASG communication protocol has proven to be:

By default, any electrical node of the object is included in the IT network and acquires intellectual properties (smart capabilities). The node becomes part of the vehicle's unified digital control system.

UNIVERSAL

By utilising real-time operation and advanced methods for information storage and processing, the system forms a holistic picture of all object parameters every millisecond. This picture includes all electromechanical parameters of the system nodes, timestamped to a specific moment in time.

ACCURATE

The communication channel operates in real time and is an integral part of an efficient control system. In contrast, complex control systems are often attempted on standard communication systems (a situation where the control system is secondary).

EFFICIENT

The communication channel enables the creation of a "smart network" with time-parallel computations performed on chips/blocks distributed throughout the control object's volume. This is promising for prototyping and creating new multi-core chips with parallel data processing capabilities.
