Hubing Michelin Professor of Vehicular Electronics Clemson University Automobiles are Complex Electronic Systems Cabin Environment Communication System Controls Airbag Entertainment Systems Deployment Noise Cancellation Navigation System Fuel Injection Emissions Controls Engine Ignition Security System Lighting Braking Control Collision Avoidance System Transmission Suspension Control System Seat and Pedal Position Stability Control Tire Pressure Monitoring Automotive Networks LIN (Local Interconnect Network) MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) CAN (Controller Area Network) FlexRay Others: Byteflight, DSI bus, D2B, IEbus, Intellibus, MI, MML Bus, SMARTwireX 3 Automotive Networks LIN (Local Interconnect Network) A primary advantage of this bus is that it can be implemented with a single wire (using the vehicle chassis as a current return path). A small and relatively slow in-vehicle communication and networking serial bus system, LIN bus is used to integrate intelligent sensors and actuators. LIN can also communicate over a vehicle's power distribution system with a DC-LIN transceiver. Maximum Data Rates: 19.2Kbaud at 40m Physical Layer: Single-Wire Implementation Transmission Format: SCI (UART) Data Format Operating Voltage: 12v over a Single Wire Network Topology: Single Master / Multiple Slave (Up to 16 slaves) Standards: Enhanced ISO 9141 4 Automotive Networks MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) MOST was originally designed by Oasis Silicon Systems AG (now SMSC) in cooperation with BMW, Becker Radio, and DaimlerChrysler for multimedia applications in the automotive environment. It was intended to be implemented on an optical fiber, so the bit rates of this bus system are much higher than previous automotive bus technologies. MOST buses provide an optical solution for automotive peripherals like car radios, CD and DVD players, and GPS navigation systems.

I would probably be a rich doctor by now if weren't for you. i Acknowledgements Acknowledgements Before going into any further details of my thesis I believe that I must mention all the people and companies who made my work possible or at least eased the way as much as they could. Among these there are three special acknowledgements that have to be made to the ones whose contribution was invaluable. These are my parents and grandparents who gave me all the support they could, both financially and emotionally, throughout my academic process; my supervisor Dr. Moisés Piedade who accepted to guide my work and whose passion for electronics has been a key factor on my personal motivation on this course; and at last but not less important than the others, my colleague Paulo Louro who assisted me on every doubts I came across regarding both hardware and software development. I must also express my profound appreciation for the following individuals: Eng. Victor Silvestre from Fatrónica, Fabrico de Artigos Electrónicos, S.A. who provided me with testing hardware for the development of the on-board car computer, Dr.

IoT can also models could render obsolete the competitive advantage of enhance productivity through process improvement, and the offshoring.1 Hyper-automation, the analysts argued, will trump empowerment of the people who run them.6 labor arbitrage in driving profitability and enhancing The Internet of Things Value Cycle (Figure 1) shows the interplay productivity. Smart machines will accomplish this by between visibility, security, profitability, and productivity. classifying content, finding patterns, and extrapolating Achieving adequate visibility and security are critical challenges generalizations from those patterns. The eyes and ears of for most IoT deployments and organizations. smart machines will be the Internet of Things (IoT), the so-called “digital mesh,” which will be given voice by secure A simple case in point shows why. Operational technology connectivity infrastructure.2, 3 (OT) data are rich with insights about processes and device performance. Having access to these data could enhance a Labor arbitrage aside, there is no denying the central role of variety of applications and services including, among others, IoT on the journey to run businesses more efficiently, supply chain efficiency, inventory management, and predictive productively, and profitably.
