Monitoring Mobile Information Processing Systems

Abstract

We describe the implementation of the monitoring for the IT systems at the core of the autonomous driving vehicle. The role of the monitoring is to assist in decision to start the driving cycle and continuous assessment for the fitness to drive the vehicle. The requirements for the monitoring system with the increased resiliency and data replication make it sufficiently different from standard monitoring systems and warrant a unique implementation tuned for the autonomous driving requirements. The monitoring system combines the OS events and real-time measurements of sensor data. The information is stored in flat files for emergency access as well as in a Time Series Data Base (TSDB).
