FlexRay Protocol: Objectives and Features

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Industrial Sensors and Controls in Communication Networks

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

In industrial networks , many mechanical controlling parts have been replaced with electronic control units (ECU) . Such ECUs have been deployed and implemented in industrial automation modes to control the system as well as provide information to other on-board devices and users such as telephones and entertainment systems in vehicles. However, an increasing number and complexity of applications using ECUs has led to the development of new in-vehicle communication systems, as well as techniques to simplify the development of applications utilizing multiple ECUs . Different types of communication protocols are currently being used in different automobiles such as Controller Area Network (CAN) and FlexRay . FlexRay is a potential replacement for CAN , a bus for inter-ECU communication in many vehicles today since FlexRay can support high data rate , time/event-triggered behavior, deterministic, fault-tolerance and redundancy for the network communications.
