One solution of camera service in AUTOSAR Adaptive environment

Abstract

The rapid evolution of the automotive industry sets new requirements and challenges in the development of autonomous driving software. As an answer to these industry requests, for the development of such complex systems, defined standards and software development process are required, which will minimize the risk to an acceptable minimum. These demands have become a foundation for AUTOSAR – an open, standardized software architecture, which introduced a new standard – Adaptive platform. Since the camera sensor is one of the most important, but also the most critical sensors in the cars, the implementation of the camera service component is presented, which relies on the usage of AUTOSAR Adaptive platform, C++ programming language and ARXML scheme, as parts of Adaptive standard. The solution was tested by measuring the performance of the camera services, more precisely the time required to deliver the frame from the camera to the client application. This way of developing software components, enables system resource planning at the design time, thus contributing to security and avoiding unwanted errors.
