Model-based development of an embedded steering-by-wire system

Abstract

AUTOSAR standard has been introduced by automotive manufacturers, suppliers and tool developers to define an open automotive software architecture. This paper proposes a framework for automotive model-based design by mapping AUTOSAR concepts with a common model-based design of a steering-by-wire system. It explores how AUTOSAR rules and interfaces can be used to design and build a safety-critical mechatronics system like the steering-by-wire system. The system should be modeled from a system (e.g. controllers, network) and behavioral (e.g. Matlab/Simulink) point of view and both the functional and non-functional requirements should be verified in this model.
