Vehicle Update Management in Software Defined Vehicles

Abstract

An integral part of software defined vehicles (SDVs) is the vehicle update manager that is used to frequently update the vehicle’s software. The vehicle update manager connects the in-car communication network with the out-car services, such as diagnostic or cloud vehicle services. The out-car services provide the latest software of a fleet, which is sent to each vehicle’s update manager to update the in-car software. How the software update architecture is designed is outlined in this demo. Furthermore, a vehicle’s update master unit receives the updates and forwards them to connected subordinates. The update process in this demo is based on the adaptive AUTOSAR platform, that uses the concept of update and configuration manager (UCM), which demonstrates the latest development in vehicle updates in SDVs.
