How Emerging Technologies Are Driving the Inside of Next-Gen Cars
May 31, 2018
The automotive industry is adopting self-driving cars as the next major evolutionary step in vehicular technology. However, improvements need to be made to data buses inside the car to support the additional data needed for a car to operate autonomously. Ethernet and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) are replacing previous network technologies, allowing for the next generation of autonomous vehicles through faster data rates and lower latency.
Introduction
For the better part of the last...
UNH-IOL: The Communications Test Arbiter
February 14, 2018
When you connect Ethernet, Wi-Fi, data storage, broadband, or many other devices to each other, there’s a good chance that it works because of the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL). Located in Durham, the UNH-IOL’s engineering staff and students develop test plans, design hardware, and write embedded code and applications for testing many communications links. Often, the lab is the first to develop test tools, which then become adopted as the standard for interoperability and compliance testing....
Brainstorm: How To Best Handle The Connected Car's Network Strain
August 8, 2017
With 380 million connected cars projected to be on the road by 2021, how will designers address the increased network strain?
By Bob Noseworthy, Chief Engineer, University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL)
This question presumes a situation I’m not yet convinced will be a reality, principally due to lack of the necessary infrastructure buildout. In a mere four years will we have 380 million “connected cars?” What is a Connected Car? How’s it differentiated from...
The growing importance of Time Sensitive Networks
April 12, 2017
We live in a world with self-driving automobiles, and reusable self-landing rockets. Such complex systems of multiple sensors, computers, and actuators form a Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Some CPSs will operate at scales that will challenge comprehension. From autonomous platooning vehicle convoys communicating with each other and highway infrastructure, to Smart Cities coordinating resources (avoiding traffic congestion, coordinating parking, reducing emissions and power consumption), to Smart national power grids and beyond.
To enable such automation, precisely timed system control must...
