Vehicle Communication
The electrical architecture of vehicles has evolved from "stand-alone" systems with little or no information exchange to distributed systems which exchange information on multiplex buses. The driving force for this development has been reduced complexity of the electrical wiring, and of course increased flexibility and functionality. One of the most important novelties of multiplexed architectures is that the services provided by the system - the "user-functions" - are accomplished by co-operation of subsystems.
Mecel has for more than 25 years provided systems architecture and systems engineering services to the automotive industry. The design of a distributed system in vehicles requires a wide understanding of requirements as well as technologies. We have been an active part in the implementation of almost all communication buses used in the industry such as CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network) and MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport). Mecel is an active part in AUTOSAR standardisation and is responsible for implementing key modules for diagnostics and CAN communication for validating the standard concept.
Mecel provides complete communication platforms to automotive OEMs based on our product portfolio Autosoft. Together with systems engineering services we are supporting automotive manufacturers world wide in implementing distributed systems.
